I have the feeling he's going to dig us out this season. They've abandoned him and I don't think he'll take it lying down.
Solskjær press conference vs Crystal Palace (H)
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
That's like.. Really, really bad.
Yeah he should really stop with that in all honesty.
That Mason had so little rest between the end of the previous season and the start of this season he didn't even realise that the new season had started. He needed a break, instead England call him up for internationals, put him in front of media for 25 minutes on his first day, start asking him about the Maguire arrest etc.
TLDR: Southgate is a spineless cnut
Good man Ole 
Get Sancho over the line and he's had a brilliant close-season for us in fairness in terms of managing the squad and improving us

Get me some players.
Get me some players.
Love his comments on the FA and Southgate today.
Either he's an England international or he isn't. It's an honour and a privilege to represent the country and it's not Southgate's fault Maguire created all the wrong kinds of headlines. Everyone had little rest, not just Greenwood.
Well he is growing into the role of United manager hopefully he is able to continue progress on the field as well .United might be surprise package this season if we get further signings in before the window closes.
Tbf it's an internet forum; I doubt any of the people who are constantly whining here have any accurate perception of reality/real life responsibilities
How the feck did I miss a game?
It was just a friendly, and for some reason was only shown on MUTV at 10pm. Not surprising if a lot of people missed it
OK, got it.
Absolutely nothing useful out of that presser really, just fluff.
Who's fit for tomorrow?
Comes across as very professional in press conferences and also exerts a little pressure onto the board without going into full Mourinho meltdown mode.
What exactly do you want him to say or do? Throw a hissy fit like Mourinho?
Even if he got selected it is Southgate’s responsibility to manage his players. Were there no other England players in the squad older than 18 and not being called up for the first time who could have given an interview instead of Mason?
There's highlights on YouTube; looking at them, we created a lot of good chances. Their keeper turned in to Van Der Sar unfortunately
Southgate is a moron i asked the same question at the time, why was Greenwood allowed to do a press conference??
He’s getting good at these things. He was always lovely to listen to when he joined, but kind of came over as just happy to be here and not wanting to offend. Now he’s much more assertive and bullish than before. Still dead polite and positive, but means business.
United shielded him from the media all year and the first thing that happens when he's on England duty is that he has to give a press conference for 25 minutes. Playing for England doesn't mean you have to act as a lightning rod on your first call up.
"Everyone" didn't have little rest. Lots of teams/players had their season end 2-3 weeks before us. "Everyone" isn't 18 years old and had just completed their first full season at the elite level. You clearly know little about management.
How did you get that from what I said?
It was a pointless presser, the only thing of substance was him mentioning Mason and I think that the standpoint he took was fine but basically youve got an 18 year old role model hiring sex workers during a deadly pandemic and you are saying he needs management....is he saying its Southgate's fault then, the two games he was with England made him make bad choices? Its pretty much saying Ole/the club didnt manage him well in terms of his decision making as a person, and that he has no control over whether his players go off to things that are not good for them.
Presumably you liked the presser then?
Last weeks friendly.
Of course he is a fully English international. He scored in Iceland while in the national team.
The match thread was a classic, seeing nobody had any idea what was actually happening. Improvisation at it's worst.
Why wouldnt he be allowed?
Because he’s an 18 year old whose domestic club have actively shielded him from being hounded by the press all season? And his manager asked the NT coach to continue this?
There is like 10/15 other senior members in the squad.
Ole and Manutd have been trying to protect him from this.
I really dont see the drama.
This isn’t true.
Everyone knows my view on Ole. But the biggest ratings go out for his comments on Greenwood. How Southgate looked after the boy was a joke.
Bun fire on him Ole.
Good replies by OGS, but sadly we didn’t know anything concrete about transfers and tomorrow’s match squad
It's like you've taken every fact and tweaked to an anti-United slant. The press conference was fine and Ole is right about the Greenwood situation.
Oh I see, I didnt realise, ok its fine now I like it again.
Once they become acquainted with the media in this way, they treat it as anything is fair game within their personal/professional life and it can kill players' careers.
What do you want from a presser though. Its a media obligation and I am sure Ole would prefer to be on the training pitch with the team rather than taking the same shit questions week in week out.
' What transfers are you working on Ole?'
'I don't comment on other clubs or there players'
Wash rinse repeat x infinity
No you arent allowed to say that in here, it was a great presser.
