People really do need to remind themselves regarding how much of a mess and imbalance the club was, all the way through the board.
Ole signs new contract

The team individually improved but not collectively.
I'm happy for Ole, who at the end of the day is a club legend. I hope he proves me wrong.
I mean sure and I'm not a fan of Pogbas ego - but No one should sack ole for not winning the title if Neves is our replacement.
We simply don't know if he is a title winning quality midfielder whilst Pogba was. 90% of the red cafe are happy with Neves joining us so I don't see why if Ole fails to win the league with him - how we can turn around and blame Ole for it completely.
Good news, I think. Hopefully he can return the show of faith with a trophy and continued progress.
Fantastic news
He was on 10 mio € in 2019, as far as google can help. I Guess a moderate increase after the extension is not unlikely, pretty standard procedure in this business.
I think he’s referring to the post-Fergie era to be fair.
Why were they in a tough position?
If they offered a reasonable wage then Ole was always going to sign.
If anything, Ole was in a tough position given he didn't have any realistic alternative options to use in order to get a better deal.
How so?Rewarding mediocrity is in the club's DNA.
There is progress under ole.
Out of curiosity, have you ever kicked a football?
Really hope he can be successful and this season is a big test.
I think it's a fair criticism that our performances often aren't that convincing (there were very few games that we really controlled last season) but he's clearly created a much more positive environment and team spirit and the players clearly want to play for him given the way they kept fighting back in games and the way we've consistently got a surprising win when he's been under a little bit of pressure. I have sort of mixed feelings about the news, I do think he's vastly inferior to the managers at some of our rivals (particularly City, Liverpool and Chelsea) and am dubious about whether that can be overcome but he has done a solid job to this point and it would be amazing to have success under a club legend, while the fact the players are clearly on board with him is a real positive.
As expected. Well deserved.
Don’t you think he deserves some job security himself after what he’s done? Also, players like Varane and Sancho would probably want some assurances that the manager who’s been chasing them for months is going to be sticking around.
Wait so Sir Busby and SAF were already football greats when they joined United? Or were they allowed time to build the club and the squad in their image which in turn made them the legends they are?
City & Liverpool fans want Ole at the club. Maybe he can change it, but as of now they don’t respect/fear him at all.
He wasn’t going to be sacked this summer and he won’t survive another trophyless season. The only difference this makes is that he gets a bigger pay off but the Glazers love wasting money so it’s as you were.
those kind of questions really lead to absolutely nothing but meaningless discussions without any sense or purposeDamn it
Not again this shite
SAF had already achieved the unthinkable before he joined United...Makes no sense.
Important thing is to see if we have made any progress. Most of us can see that. Who gives a damn what rivals fans think? Most here wanted Klopp to continue at Liverpool. Look how it turned out
No I meant in terms of he didn’t do badly enough to get sacked and they didn’t want this contract thing to be hanging on the head all season . It’a an ok situation for both the club & Ole now but as a fan I am left pretty underwhelmed really
Don't understand the people who are upset. In the grand scheme of things, it makes no difference. We were never going to sack him this summer. When it becomes clear to the board he needs to go, he will be sacked regardless of how long he has left on his contract. I mean, we sacked a manger 9 months after giving him a six year contract.
I hope he meets expectations, although I remain doubtful.

Reaching 4 semi-finals, Europa league final and finishing 3rd/2nd in his first full seasons. Bringing in exciting, quality players which have improved the first team whilst developing the likes of Shaw into one of the best in his position. But because he hasn't won a trophy yet, this is mediocrity to you?
He has deserved this extension because of the progress we have made since appointing him. I think some people on here need to seriously look back and see where we were heading as a football club before Ole took over. He has done a fantastic job!
Tuchel came into Chelsea on the back of them having a splurge on serious talent in the transfer market that Lampard could not get the best out of. Not taking away from any of his achievements, but Tuchel inherited a much better team and club in Chelsea than Ole did with Utd, that is just a fact.
Who gives a flying feck?
Yeah, and he didn't do too well when he started at United too right?Not again this shite
another one on huge wages that will be hard to ship on.
Really pleased about this. He’s done a tremendous job so far, and what an exciting squad he’s building. It’s depressing that quite a vocal segment of our fans are still against him. We just get better and better under him, I hope the club will continue to support his rebuild.
Exactly.
And going into this season on the last year of his contract, every game there'd be journos asking questions about it and it'd be a distraction both on and off the pitch which the club doesn't need.
No, I'd say in this business almost no one really deserves security for longer than the current season.
Pretty much how I feel.
All of this “he deserved an extension” talk is crazy to me. When he came in what were your expectations of him and what did he exceed?
No elite team wants him, he would have just as easily renewed next summer.
Have you ever played at CB?
Laughable that you justify your show of no faith by looking at what rival fans are saying on social media platforms. We are hated and dopes will say literally anything. There is no rationale to their comments. Do yourself a favour and ignore them.
I'm glad that I made you laugh.
It's just comforting to know what type of people you are discussing with.
I genuinely think it's important to know whether the person I am talking to has ever played the game before or is just one of those who watches it.
Reaching 4 semi finals and then the EL final (after we went out in the group stages of the cl)should not be considered an achievement at Manchester United . It’s embarrassing that somehow we have dropped to the levels where some fans have started to believe it is
We literally finished above Chelsea for two seasons in a row and Liverpool last season. Give your head a wobble. Call yourself a fan
We’ll I’m going to assume not many of the “PE teacher brigade” thought he’d finish 3rd last year and 2nd this year. Just a wild hunch though.
Progress. He took a team that finished 2nd 6 months before and took us to 2nd 3 years later while winning feck all during that time and playing Jose-esque football. I am not saying he is doing terrible but the progress on the pitch is so minimal that it's pointless to even discuss it. Off the pitch he is great, I am not arguing. None of Real, Barca, Chelsea, City, Juve etc. would reward their manager with 3+1 year contract after those 3 years of "progress".
