Not really. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed in pointing out that he failed here. Yes he did. It doesn't change the fact that he is right here. He knows more about how this club functions than any of us because he was the fecking manager. When your CEO talks about clicks, shares and retweets and mentions that on field performances don't matter, you dont need rocket science to prove that this club is all about commercials.
I’m not going to defend the owners or the way the club is run, but it’s also easy to see why he’d be biased. He clearly still has a massive chip on his shoulder.
Any sensible footballing personality who has nothing to do with MUFC would give the same advice to anyone thinking about taking over the hotseat at the Theatre of Dreams.
He didnt actually set us back though did he?
Yeah big name has beens and kids with a good resale value have been a disproportionate part of their spending. All rather random on the pitch.

I'm sick of hearing people talking about him building a team that's good in possession. That's not true. He built a team that just keeps passing the ball sideways and backwards in its own half. Man United used to spend the majority of the game in their own half passing the ball. Oppositions were fine with us passing the ball in our own half the entire game. That's not possession. Possession is actually controlling the ball in the opposition's own damn half.
We beat alot of good sides like Liverpool City etc because we were good in possession. We were not great, we needed much better midfielders, but we were a millions times better than we are now on the ball and with worse players
We also beat a lot of good sides like Liverpool City etc under Mourinho and Ole, so what really ?
We did fire him via the press so I actually have sympathy, United did him dirty.
United handled his sacking poorly and he's right we're a commercial club, but I find it rude to talk about your ex club that way in public, and he has done several times. He could have given this advice to Ten Hag in the face and just dodged the question. Ultimately, it comes down as if he's still bitter about something that happened 6 years ago.
Mourinho takes cheeky digs any chance he gets as well but have you had problems with those?
Mourinho didn't say anything disrespectful about Man United as an ex club he has managed before since he left, and these "digs" you're talking about he's usually throwing against any club he faces, and he faced us as an opponent after he left. It's not specific to Man United. That's his usual game, has nothing to do with him being an ex manager. Meanwhile, LVG's quotes is just bitterness from the way he's sacked, and it's disrespectful to say such a thing in public about a club he managed before.
Yep.
LVG is just honest. Ask him a question you’ll get an answer - doesn’t make him right in everything he says and he’s a stubborn bastard from what we’ve seen but I’ve no issues with people talking about former employers in a fair way.
Do you actually disagree with him?
It's not only about winning CL, it's about challenging.
How was it obvious that Morgan, Depay and Darmian wouldn't work out at Utd?
Schneiderlin’s drop off confuses me to this day.
