I remember the days of LVG quite clearly and the football was the most horrendous, piece of garbage I have ever seen. It was robotic, repetitive and safe, and I even recall some bloke falling asleep AT THE STADIUM, it felt like torture to watch our games at the time.
Then came Mourinho and we did have a bright start, but as time went on the players was uninspired, safe once again, and the toxic environment only grew worse. I remember all the times we were desperate for a late goal, and we brought in Fellaini and De Gea with his incredible accurate passing ability would attempt to pass it to him. It was fecking dreadful.
And now we have Ole, whilst it can be argued if he is good enough to bring us back to the glory days, I haven't been this satisfied with any manager since Sir Alex's retirement. I mean, sure, some games have been absolutely dreadful, but most of the time I feel like I'm watching Manchester United again.
A big plus to that he has given a huge amount of responsibility to Rashford, one of our own, and he is now our star man in this team. He gave Martial his number 9 back, and even when he has an off day he can contribute directly to goal which is a huge improvement. We have Greenwood, Garner, William's, coming through the ranks and Ole is.managing them perfectly in my opinion. Ole's signings have been a great addition to the squad as well.
So after lot of juggling back and forth if I'm Ole in, or Ole out, I've decided that I'm neither. This team is incredibly young and inconsistent, and I have a really hard time thinking any manager would be able to pull something of with this team if they're not given time. To me Ole has proven at least that he can steady the ship, and promote youth, if he is the one to lifting the Premier League trophy with us is another question, but he has done a very good job of doing what is needed to get us back on track.
Getting the basics done right is the most important thing in a rebuild. Ole has cleared the deadwood, focused on the long term by giving youth a chance. I believe he will build a squad capable of competing for trophies, but not the one to execute it.
I will probably be slated for settling for mediocrity, but that's not the case really. I want United to be the best team in the world, but hiring new managers with conflicting ideas will only be an obstacle for our incredibly young teams potential.
