He looks lifeless
So I say it's the managers job to get the best out of the players and your response to that is some weird rant about the previous manager
Keep fuming it's funny
Poor again
1-0 win sure but yet another 90 minutes of poor football

Still don't know what happened first, our pressing dropping off, or our passing going haywire. Because once one went the other collapsed very quickly after that.
The first 15 minutes were encouraging. We pressed hard, kept the ball and caused Villa problems. It wasn't perfect and Villa got behind us a few times. But it was encouraging. But after that we lost all control, stopped pressing, couldn't keep possession and did nothing on the ball. The second half in particular was one of the worst performances I can remember in a long time.
I can understand the players bit being physically capable of performing a pressing game midway through the season. But not being able to string two passes together is unforgivable.

Wtf jajah
He's dealing with a squad of players who are technically below par. He and whomever comes in after him has a monumental job of getting this group up to snuff.
I just wish I'll ever see United play good, watchable football again, please God, just one time only before I die.
Genuinely looks like he's fed up
Yes. Three years of Solskjaer in charge has completely destroyed some of our players. They have become extremely selfish and lazy, and do not want to play as a team. It feels hardwired into them now.
It is going to be a very hard job when the players are so set in their ways. It is at that point where we need another rebuild.
He’s not the answer as long term manager but if all we get from his reign as manager is to move on certain players, then that will be a partial success. These players are too greedy, lack any composure or desire to fight when things get tough & are just generally really bad at playing football. Until you get rid of the rubbish, the football is unlikely to get better even if we bring in another manager.
Let’s hope he’s a miracle worker because we need one.
Looks scared. Fletch is the man. 
I'm not fuming. Youre clearly emotional over this performance. I'm not. This was always expected. Keep crying. I hope you have someone to console you and wipe your tears.
I think at this point, regardless of the system, the players are shocking, Rashfords performance and attitude sums up the team, Greenwood is the greediest player ive ever seen, Bruno just awful, the midfield bypassed and can't pass, defending and DDG was soft. The attitude and application of the players is god awfull, they barely even run, especially Rashford, that moment where he just stopped running even though the ball was loose, what the hell is wrong with him
Not the prettiest win. It is still a win. On to the league match against Villa. Initially, I liked his stubborness. Now, I would wish for a bit more flexibility from Ralf.

We look less tactically naive but otherwise actually worse, somehow.
We were a decent team last season. Wtf has happened?

tears of laughter over your posts yeah
Worse than Ole.
The results eventually caught up to performances under Ole and the same will happen to the 'godfather of gegenpressing'. He has been fecking awful results aside.

Thing is players like Rashford and Bruno did play some of their best football under ole. Now they look deflated. The manager isn’t getting the most out of them and a few others at this current moment. Tactics are one thing, putting fire in the players bellies is another. It’s clearly a flat atmosphere around the training ground etc.
Hate saying it but he shouldn't have been appointed even on interim basis. We have zero control on the game. Hope we improve
We lost 4-1 to Watford under Ole, mate.
This guy is absolutely clueless. There's nothing positive to take out from how we play. People still raving about the minutes against Palace that weren't even half as impressive as what Villa did today. Fecking embarrasing.
The result right now is more important than anything.
But you wonder if he is up to date with modern squad/game management by seeing at how he lined players up and not bothering to sub or do something to control the game in general. We were extremely lucky to not conceded in that period in 2nd half where a change or two were needed to put more energy. Then left Burno as CF while two strikers playing far wide.

I think the players don't give a feck because they know he is only an interim manager. Easy excuse, but it's also easy for the players to go down that route too and I think they are.
Our midfielders are mediocre at best, youngsters have had too much hype without actually attaining any consistency, we have a bloated squad but not enough quality. We can blame the interim all we want but the issue far precedes him. The squad building and the cultural rot needs to be improved.
Awful formation. Why is he not changing this?
The players aren't helping themselves either. Simple, sloppy passes and still very weak pressing.

He's getting decent results but feck me the football is still shite. Tbf to him so many players have bad habits and those that don't are used to playing hero ball so that's why we are being served shite most weeks.
I can't buy that, not when there's top 4, FA Cup and UCL all still to play for it doesn't make sense for the players to down tools just because they'll be a new manager next season
It was 2-1 with 11 on the pitch until our captain decided to get himself sent off. These games under RR performance wise are at least as bad as Ole. Worse IMO.
Obviously needs more time but so many of these players are so much worse than I ever thought, or simply do not want to be here (Pogba). What can any manager do with so many players who can’t keep a ball, or a keeper who twats dead balls into row Z? Or a CB who has 20 yards of space and does the same?
DvB has now been ignored by 3 managers so he’s obviously utter shite, because the lads playing there both have their pros, but a fecking shit loads of cons too.

The belief has gone. It's difficult to motivate yourself once you stop believing you can win.
I can't understand him playing what is effectively a 4-2-4- with the wide players we have. Rashford and Greenwood are so selfish, play for themselves, that might work in a 4-3-3 but you need more team orientated players in a 4-4-2 or the midfield just get annihilated. Neither of them wants to track back, won't help their full back, makes it obvious what magnificent players Giggs and Beckham were in playing 2 ways.
We need more workhorses in the team, Lingard should have been starting.

This is exactly what I’m hoping for. I think people need to ease up expectations on him. He’s been given a poor hand. It reminds me of the period when Fergie retired because everyone overrated the squad we had. It seems yet again, a lot of people are overrating the squad just because of how much we have spent and how much we pay players. Shame we don’t pay players based on their performances at our club anymore, I’m cheering on Ralf to change things.
Sort.This.Midfield.Out
Seriously, our defence keep getting a battering because theres zero protection
Our attack find it hard to sustain attack after attack too.
We need a midfield that are compose on the ball, control the game and know how to defend. No wonder every team look like prime Barca against us, infuriating

No one told me being 2-1 down to a relegation fodder is actually acceptable result now.
The performance is still bad and RR has been underwhelming but "worse than Ole" is taking the piss.
Nar, the last 6 weeks with Ole was utterly horrendous. You have a clear case of recency bias.
He needs to get rid of players who cant be arsed.
He needs to pick a system that suits his players as well.
Yep agreed. And under the extra pressure we become sloppy with our passes and invite more pressure.
Made villa look good tonight. First 15 though thought we were decent.
