Laughter filled the room. Not sure it's an appropriate thing for him to have done either wayHe's clearly taking the piss a little bit there right. He's laughing as he's saying it.
Solskjær press conference vs City (A) | Ole: "Alexis will come back in the summer and will prove you all wrong"
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Why would we do that if we want to sell him? maybe saying that he's coming back and he's going to be like a new signing might lure potential buyers.
I’m with you. What has any of this got to do with someone’s mum? All the insults available to him and he pulled this one out
Exactly, can't believe how many people have taken that comment to heart....it's blowing twitter up ..He's clearly taking the piss a little bit there right. He's laughing as he's saying it.
He just sound and looks like an unintelligent person who's totally clueless about how to turn things around. Laughing and smiling doesn't exactly help his case either. He's destroying his reputation and soon there is nothing to defend.
He’s almost laughing when he mentions Sanchez
Exactly...
Solskjær is now turning into a caricature of pure delusional lunacy. He is a puppet for his paymasters, nothing more, nothing less.
Very sad to see a legend of the club being reduced to this.
Let’s face it Conte has publicly criticised Sanchez for his professionalism and not been fit. It’s come out that Jose slated him. Ole hasn’t mentioned him but has said some players needed to go (Lukaku , Sanchez ) I’m thinking.
There is no option to be recalled burn let’s face it , if Ole got onto Conte and said I want him back I very much doubt Conte or the board will object.
The fact of the matter is Utd don’t want him and the board don't want to start paying 100% of his wages again.

Mourinho tried to force Woodward's hand into the transfer, still didn't get the players he wanted, we eventually regressed and he was sacked.
Ole wont do any forcing, he'll just nod along and Woody likes that.

I know, I'm just saying Ole has been consistent on this one.
This
And this.
Does he think the press are his mates & he can have a candid laugh with? Joking about the absolute state of the club he's managing is ridiculous. He needs to go before he ruins his legend.
Also, Mata was a January buy. People say January buys are difficult because other normal clubs do business in the summer.
I agree. If he's serious then he's clueless. Sanchez is finished. If he's joking then he's making fun of our highest paid player and one of the most ridiculous deals ever done in the EPL. Both player and the agent won't like it.
The club is on its knees.
Its so poor, we are becoming pharcical---
smalling and alexis will be like new signings will be the summer vibe.

Eh @Red00012 ? Show me the quotes. Same for the Jose ones pal.
His spell at Milan has confirmed what we knew, Sanchez is finished at the top level. Regardless of what Ole has said, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Conte / Milan who have already said 'no thanks' to any prolonged association with Alexis. Maybe Ole is saving everyone's blushes?
And most importantly the fans have got fed up. Seeing tons of Ole defenders on Twitter finally turning their backs on him because of what he said, and surely the player+agent because of the way he said it. All must be furious.
But all's well as long as he gets his precious Lego from Woodward.
On the bright side, if we finish outside of Europa League place, I think that time iut of any European competition will do us great. And hopefully Ole will be gone by then.
Congratulations on making the most ridiculous post of the month! And that takes some doing
I suggest you warriors go and watch the presser and bring some sense of humor along with a little spice of IQ. Might put things in the right perspective. This is getting embarrassing.
Yep. About a week before we shipped Sanchez out it was all about how he was a good part of the squad and suchlike bs.
We won't be quite crap enough to avoid the Europa though.
Only Moyes secured that.
Nowhere near. Early 70s were dire, the Dave Sexton years were boring. Early years under SAF were pretty depressing and we played much worse than we do now, fortunately we stuck with Sir Alex and it all came good. Nowadays SAF would not have got the six and a half years he did to get us winning the league again. The grass is always greener as they say but luckily we have won more than all the other clubs - have to be a bit patient and it will come good again but not by changing managers so often.
It's getting to the point where the fans at every game are supporting Ole, we have backed Ole all along.
All we expect is some honesty from the man, I can guarantee if he continues down this path he will have the fans against him by the end of the season.

People complaining about the Sanchez video want to find something that isn't there. He was clearly joking if you watch the video. Everybody knows how shut Sanchez is and I'm sure even the man that loaned him out is aware too
I remember people thinking he’d be great at Inter
He actually said that about Alexis returning in the summer? I thought it was a joke tweet. Between that and the transfer window the only conclusion I can come to is that there is no money for Ole to improve the squad.
Am I missing something here? What is the problem (more than Sanchez being a United player)?
Inter ain't gonna prolong the loan and Sanchez will come back with a heavy salary on his head. Hopefully, OGS know how much Sanchez would want to get out of United as he hasn't aged well, been injured and he doesn't seem to fit in the group being a bit older. Think Ole sends him a message that he will come and work for his salary. United probably wishes for Sanchez to break his contract and prioritize his own well-being instead of the massive pressure that will be on him in Manchester.. Atleast that is what I hope.

If you watch the Sanchez portion of the video you can tell he's not quite serious. The entire bit before he says it is him accidentally talking down Sanchez (basically saying we have never really gotten anyone good in January), I think he basically realizes that about halfway through and just tries to cover it up a bit.
It's an easy comment to blow out of proportion but in the context of the actual video/interview it isn't nearly like how the text reads.

I’m not sure why everyone is getting so worked up over this. OGS won’t be here in the summer anyway.
I suppose the question that has been and should've been asked before is: if we're stuck with Sanchez (we are unless he decides to drop all the money we owe him for contractual reasons, which he will not), and if he's coming back, then why in the feck did he loan him to Inter while we're still paying a big bulk of his wages?
ffs the Alexis quote surely has to be a joke?
Tbf has more charisma
Yeah that big reputation he built in cardiff and molde, he knows he’s done this will be his last job in a top league.
£7.5m a year is much more then he was making as a player and infinitely more then he was making managing Molde.
Roy Keane getting £50k a week in 2000 was considered the club breaking its wage structure. Really doubt Ole was on more then 10k a week
Yeah, but I think in this case even saying it at all was a weird choice for Ole as we aren't in a spot where fans are reading between the lines or are in a mood for veiled sarcasm.
I know. If things were going better he can crack jokes or be sarcastic. They aren't going really well, so it just winds people up. Maybe Ole is just past caring. Ed has disappeared when Ole needs backing, not through press releases but on camera. The people who run this club are a bunch of cowards. How they dealt with LvG shows that. There are ways to deal with situations and show class in the process. We have no idea any longer how to do that.
Sanchez has had just as trash of a season in Serie A, as he had with us for two years - only 6 starts and measly 1 goal. Clearly Inter has had enough of him and doesn't want him even on loan, anymore. And nobody will buy him, not with his salary demands, so that's why he is coming back - nowhere else to go.
Ole saying he will surprise people is just him tying to boost Alexis confidence by praising him given how we can't avoid him. It's futile, though. Alexis career is over and he is just shamelessly milking the money now, because he can
He’s like the incompetent son of a King. Knows he won’t get removed, knows the people won’t voice their true thoughts to his face...
So he is taking the P8ss out of a player who is the highest paid player in Utd's history right?
We need a proper manager for God's sake. This relief teacher farce has gone on for far too long.
