Are you joking? Portugal play Qatar in a friendly and Luxembourg in a qualifier, Ronaldo probably would only play vs Luxembourg.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

A good manager would find a way to play them both. Also yeah, Ronaldo can play no problem after such a short turnaround as we saw in the Euros.
You had a poll to decide whether or not to have a poll?
Not an actual poll, no.
That opening line is gold Damien. But can we have a poll on a next manager please?
Can someone explain what "stability" means which became Ole's biggest plus here. I am not wumming (i never do, i suck in it). Really want to know what is it regarding our club. We dodn't have during Jose or Lvg? How manager brings that?
Edit: and question for mods. Lately some Ole biggest critics are banned. They crossed the line and started with abuse or...? I mean, i like to be on this forum so trying to not do wrong step. .

.I am afraid we won't see this setup, but a would like to see a 4-3-3DM with Van de Beek, Pogba and Bruno in midfield setup. It's such a Football manager move, but if it clicks it would be pure sexyness.
That's like everyone saw Llorente as a pure dm before he joined Atletico and Simeone transformed him into a trequartista and in Spain setup he plays a right back sometimes.

Woody going out with a bang.
"You guys protested after the Super League and made enough pressure for me to leave the job? Well have Ole and friends for three more years!"
Although I would like to think that Murtough and Fletch are the ones making these calls right now and not Woody.
Call me old fashioned but I’d love to see us try a classic 442 with this squad. I know we don’t have the ideal midfielders for it but Ronaldo and Cavani/Greenwood up top with decent crosses being whipped in from the wings would be a sight to behold.
Our next 10 games that started with Leicester away on 16th of October and end against Arsenal at Old Trafford on 30th November are extremely difficult. I can see us beating Leicester maybe, because of their form so far this season, Atalanta at home and Watford away, apart from that it'll probably be draws (like Tottenham, away CL games, Arsenal) and losses against Liverpool, City, Chelsea. Perhaps we could beat Tottenham as they're not very good side, even Chelsea in scenario where it's a dull game and someone like Rashford wins it for us with an individual brilliance.
Basically, coming into December, if Ole is still there, it means we didn't do bad in these October and November fixtures which would be positive thing, if Ole is sacked by then, we're probably far away from league leaders and maybe even out of CL which would be another disaster for this team. Big month and a half coming up after international break for Ole and the team.

Rene did well when he left us didn’t he? Carlos Q hardly set the world on fire.
Hate to break it to you but the most likely scenario is the run of games being very poor and Ole remaining in the job. The club are sticking with him.
It feels like the media pressure is building on Ole. The BBC main headline on their sport page is that Sir Alex said "you should always start your best players". I can't remember this much talk about his future for a long long time. A poor result against Leicester and I think we'll be talking about "X games to save his job"
Haha Keane is far crazier than Conte. Youre talking about not going full Conte? Remember when Keane said he would have hit DDG or smth like that haha.
Im all for a bad cop but Keane oh man.
With that being said I dont really get the apprehension towards Conte.
I do wanna have the manager that knew how to use Pogba well. When he plays for France he looks a proper midfielder, was the best player of Euro 2020 if you ask me.
Well I want that!!!!!! (Add another 1000 exclamation points)
Class.
“Don’t have the ideal midfielders”
There is your answer
Doesn't that depend how much Qatar have paid for this friendly. I suspect they will want to be seeing Ronaldo.
Doesn't mean Ronaldo has to go all guns blazing, it's just a showpiece for the boys with moneu
Sounds depressing doesn't it?
Nope, they can't play together. That would make us too vulnerable. It's been clear from day 1 that Ronaldo coming will limit Cavani's minutes, and we should be trying to find them whenever possible. A game mere 2 days after tough outing against Villarreal gives you that opportunity. Besides, Cavani played well in that particular game.
This is such a stupid take given the defensive workrate put in by Cavani is far greater than that of Sancho yet nobody has a problem playing Sancho & Ronaldo together.
True
My point was more that the whole setup is second rate, rather than saying we should go and hire former united coaches to help improve the team
Maybe it's going to be a poll to decide to have a poll to decide if there is a poll.
Is Ole the only Utd manager who has been top of the league at any stage since Fergie retired? I think he is.
Fair enough it was short lived and we came second last year but we haven't even been top of the league under 3 vastly more experienced managers than Ole. Says it all.

Only manager to be top after Christmas, yes. Otherwise no. Mou was top of the league in his second season after gw3 or 4. LVG was top in his 2nd season till late Oct/Nov
Both LvG and Jose did, even Moyes did after the 4-0 opening day at Swansea.
And this is pure RAWKish energy.
Van Gaal was top for a week at the end of September 2015.
Yeah it was after Xmas. Somebody already corrected me.
The least experienced coach of the lot is the only one with two consecutive top 4 finishes and getting to 1st place after Christmas. Says it all about how badly run our club has been.

Weren't we top of the league for about a week?
I bet this is actually what is happening.
Alright, so no rotation the the PL then. I disagree.
I'm no expert but my understanding is that you get a few warnings and usually a temp ban before a permanent ban unless you go off the rails altogether.Can someone explain what "stability" means which became Ole's biggest plus here. I am not wumming (i never do, i suck in it). Really want to know what is it regarding our club. We dodn't have during Jose or Lvg? How manager brings that?
Edit: and question for mods. Lately some Ole biggest critics are banned. They crossed the line and started with abuse or...? I mean, i like to be on this forum so trying to not do wrong step.
I think most of the recent ones would have had repeated warnings for various things.
If you haven't had a warning and your posts aren't all negative rants you're probably fine. You could post the question in the ask a mod thread if you're concerned.
Conor Moore is great
Says absolutely nothing. You’re selling it like we were close and just fell short, we were never in a title race last season - not even close to being close. Arsenal are also top of the league before the seasons even starts, who cares.
We came 2nd in the best and hardest league in the world. Hardly crime of the century is it yet our fans behave like we came 16th. It's utterly bizarre.
Phelan just extended his contract until 2024.
So Ole will be going nowhere. You can run from it or try to hide, but this man is never getting sacked.
He is going to go on an epic run of wins after the international break and win The FA Cup.
He won. I'm #OleIn from here on out.

Excellent analogy. Those are totally the same thing.
