It's not about judging him persay it's ensuring next season isn't as shit as every one since post Fergie has been. The more seasons pass the more we become the next Liverpool/Arsenal

Awesome
Honestly surprised by the 'too early' calls.Surely now is the best time to get next season into motion.
I think Phelan is staying on but I'm not sure about Delaney.
Good that we finally announced it. I had no problem had we waited till end of the season but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Like few said, it's not fair on Molde too, also maybe not having permanent manager made it hard to convince our transfer targets.
Hopefully he will stay here for many years with lots of success.

I don't think with the job he has done that he wasn't going to get the job. Beating Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea away along with the famous night in Paris, I think we all knew that he was a shoe in for the job after that.
Now it's up to the board to back him because this club needs big investment, no point giving him the job and basically expect him to produce miracles with this squad, it's still not good enough to win major competitions and there's still alot of deadwood to get rid of and I hope Ole has identified this before taking the job

For the time being; they'll lose him sooner rather than later
Well deserved. Congrats to Ole! This is exciting news!
The most important thing for me is that he gets the spirit of the club and fans almost unanimously love him. That is more important than technical know how in my opinion.
More importantly now, the board needs to get a good Director of Football and investments need to be made to improve the squad. If we fail to do this, Ole will struggle.

Anybody worried that hiring him now will affect the teams performance is making a strong argument for needing a huge overhaul of players.
Delighted at this it's a dream that the guy from 99 is now manager. Hope we finish the season strong and carry momentum into next season where we will see oles real identity after a full summer

This.
Incredible news.
I don’t even care if it doesn’t go well. He’s the best man for the club.
Still imperative we get the infrastructure around him so if it doesn’t go well, we will still be in a strong position for the next manager. Hell even if it does go well, we should be in a strong position for the next manager.

There are no guarantees with any manager we could bring in. Have the past two taught us nothing?
I just don't get the concern or negativity... we need to give him a chance. He's done enough since he took over to deserve that. And by a chance, I don't mean until the end of the season where he hasn't been able to do anything with the squad. We should enjoy the ride for the rest of this season and see where it takes us without high expectations... and then let the manager have next season to see what he can really do.
There are ways to beat them other ways too its so disheartening to see people so low having such a veiw
So Phelan is still contracted with Central Coast Mariners as Sporting director eh? haha
Glad we have Ole at the wheel.
Though, I feel indifferent overall. It could be a Pep Guardiola level manager. The bigger issue is Ed Woodward. Hopefully, we have some signings for Ole that will help challenge on fronts next year.

-Ah Yes... the real test.
- How dare a manager lose games unlike (enter a unbeaten manager here) who hasn't lost a game this season
but lets forget all the good he's done since he's been here.- But "if" he doesn't?
Agree. Let's get him a decent song now he's the permanent manager.This needs to die
He's deserved it but it could still go badly wrong unless the club backs him properly.
Hopefully we aren't back here in a years time like previous managers

Wow,didn’t see this coming!!I know that there’s been a lot of talk,but I expected us to take a call at the end of the season.Anyways,needless to say that I”m delighted that one of our own is going to be our next manager.Ole has clearly demonstrated an unwavering commitment to youth and attacking football...
He also seems to be a good tactician and he radiates positivity and hope.So he does tick a lot of boxes,even though he obviously doesn’t have the resume to be managing this huge club.But we appointed managers like LVG and Jose who had gold star credentials but they still couldn’t take us back to the top.
Can Ole be “that” man??I guess we”ll find out over the next few years....But for the moment,it’s just terrific to have someone like him as our manager.All the best Ole!!Please make us proud!!GGMU!!
It wasn't just that. They could be seen as 'flash in the pan' results. It's been the whole face of the club that he's changed: the way he faces the media, bringing the coaching staff on board, having the Utd tradition of bringing in young players,man management,getting the crowd,ex players on side. Just knowing that Utd is more about football-it's an institution
Would've been impossible not to really
He nailed it and then some
Love Ole, can't wait to see what he does with us in the summer.

Great, another year of mediocrity. Almost certainly not getting top 4 next year. The performances have been awful under Ole for weeks, very much Mourinho-like, not only that, but we have a whole host of average players and most of them will keep their place in the team because Ole feels bound to play youth products even if they're not good enough (Rashford and Lingard). Extremely disappointed, hoping to be proved wrong.
We’re basically back to where we were when Fergie retired now. Take 2. A club rebooted. Bobby Ewing turning up in the shower.
The philosophy behind this appointment is the same as it was with Moyes, the correct philosophy, except this time it’s not Moyes.

I’m ecstatic and announcing it now gives Ole time between now and the end of the season to know where he needs to prioritise strengthening and who he wants in so we can start negotiations deals instead of starting in the summer and the deals dragging on til the end of the transfer window.
Since Ole came in we’ve been the best team in the league (32 points from 13 games I think) and that’s been done with a team of players he had at his disposal rather than players he brought in himself, Ole has been spot on pretty much throughout all of his tenure and I believe with a big amount of money to get players he wants to fit his system we can genuinely challenge next season.

Really hope he does well.. interesting time re: announcement, perhaps should have waited till end of season to see how things play out, but on plus side he can get involved with transfers properly now. Club needs a overhaul and I hope Ole shows ruthlessness.
I agree with that. This will hopefully give the players a lift and a focus for the quite difficult run to the end of the season.
It is also very important that he was appointed to allow stability for the summer transfer window which I hope will be supported with sufficient funding.
I have my doubts. I said that in his thread but now, when he is confirmed, it is not important anymore. Lets hope that he will be excellent for us.
I have bad streak regarding managers. Last two were my no1 pick and we all know how that ended. Ole wouldn't be in my top 5 choices so by that logic, he will be great
Congratz to him but think its a mistake not to appoint DoF first if thats our plan at all and not to wait end of season to actually have full picture of his work as interim manager to make a proper judgment.
Purely as United fan I'm excited and happy for him.
But with the way things have been going over the last 6 years I won't be getting too carried away, who knows how things will pan out in the next 12-18 months.

I think he's shown enough things to show ruthlessness.
1) Benched our 75m striker for Rashford
2) Shipped off Fellaini
3) Didn't extend Valencia's contract
Into the most exciting summer since Fergie's retirement!!!
Well done Ole, well done everyone, including the fans.

That’s why we haven’t been able to see our way properly yet, because Moyes’ contract is like a dark shadow that’s cursed OT. We’ll win the league the season after those six years are up.
Back to RAWK scouser you're fooling no one.
I'm happy with this as I assume and hope it's partly down to us wanting to start on transfer targets.
A part of me still feels that Pochettino would have been the better appointment.
But I'm glad the uncertainty is over and we can focus on the football. All the best to Ole!

I'm actually stunned by this... Are you even a United fan?
And top 4 was 11 points off under Jose, Ole is 2 points off with Jose's squad after 3 months. What makes you so confident we wont get top 4 next season with additional signings approved by Ole when hes done so well with the toxicity and turmoil that Jose left him.. Ridiculous post..
BTW since December we've been the best team in the league, the table doesn't fecking lie...
Congratulations to Ole. He has shown that with good management, we can get results.
As expected Ole deserves it, he has brought the smile back to the fans and those related to the club. The timing is absolutely fine which will give us the boost to push us into champions league spot. He can also start working on the transfers for next year straight away
Ole's at the wheel.
