Seen a few people moaning about this or calling it “cringe”.

Let’s get it straight, Ole Solskjaer is and always will be a Manchester United legend. Fans have sung his name for over 20 years and will continue to do so long into the future, just like they do with Cantona and many many others.

It didn’t work out for him as manager sadly, and I wanted him out as much as anyone, but that doesn’t stain his legacy with the club so STFU whining and join in the celebration and recognition of his playing career with us.

That song has been a staple for 2 decades. People are framing it how they want now, and they're boring

I hope his name rings around the stadium until the end of time, absolute legend at the club and anyone saying otherwise is simply clueless.

If you're complaining about Ole songs, you're a grade A cnut. He is, and will always be, a legend.

Thank you, great thread, personally thinks it more cringe online internet fans moaning about match going fans who have paid money, singing about a player that they respect and admire. But hey ho.

The Cantona Christmas chant has always been terrible, to be fair. At least Ole's is catchy.

Just because you broke with your girlfriend doesn't always mean you don't still love her.

People need to get a grip, true United fans (at least most of them) still love Ole and will always.

It's disgusting. First there was his smiling, then there was his genuine attempt to heal a gaping, post-jose wound, and all after having a truly terrific career during which he sacrificed his short-term prospects to stay at the club and score our most memorable goal.

What a cnut he was.

Had a nice warm feeling when they started.. and not the alcohol or bladder control.

100+ goals including that one, and always put United first. Can’t wait until he comes back as a guest and gets a HUGE cheer.

It's rare to see people at or below 25 to have decent context or perspective on things, hence why they don't know or won't believe that Ole has been and always will be a true club legend.

You obviously don't get it. It's about getting loads of Cantonas for Christmas.

Now do you like it?

All the Ole songs are about his time here as a player, right? Nothing wrong about that.

Not against fans signing the song, legend as a player of course, but singing it during the first game under Ralf, while the same team was playing so so much better after only 2 days with said new manager, did sound a bit silly.

Like the below average ex walking into the restaurant when you are on the first date with your new teen supermodel. Just feck off and give my head some peace, it’s been a rough 3 years, love.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. He deserves his song to be sung as a massive club legend, even if he was a poor manager. What next, if Cantona comes back as manager and fails, stop singing for him?

And no, Joel, don’t even think about it.

Been loving the Ole and Carrick songs the last couple of games. Both won everything with the club, and deserve to be honoured with their songs.

Yeah, I totally get why most like it. I can't help but join in at the stadium, too. Plus it gets you in the Christmas spirit!

Ralf said that Ole spent two hours on the phone with Rangnick to transfer any knowledge that could be useful for Rangnick, and was super kind and nice about it.

So that alone is why any real United fan will always and forever love Ole. He didn't work out as our manager, he had to go, but he will always be beloved in this club. And he is a great person.

Period.

His goal was probably one of the main reasons half these eejits decided to support the club

Don't think people are saying its cringe because we're singing about Ole. He will always be a utd player who evokes a wistfullness of better times.More the amount of songs about him. We get it you love Ole but stop with the overkill. Less is more.

If you're sitting at home seething about match-going fans singing Ole's song, it's probably a sign you've strayed from supporting a football team and wanting them to do well into something a bit weirder.

Ole songs has always been heard at OT and away games as long as ive gone to games. Usually in second half with all the songs of legends. Would be weird to stop singing it just cause he got canned. He gave us some good memories.
