I took it as we were ready to "offer him the opportunity to accept 2 year contract elsewhere as he's been been a good servant, captain, won trophies, league cups..."
May be wrong though.

Good answer. We were less than ten minutes from winning the game at OT so Klopp can suck our collective balls
Greenwood favorite position is a striker and with Rashford playing as left forward I don't get how how him and Martial can exist together in the same lineup few years from now on. It might be OK now to play Greenwood on the flank but at one point he will have to be moved again to his natural position surely.
On twitter people are writing he said "weren't", and some of them are watching presser. So if they are lying so am I.
Of course.
I watched PC too and I thought he said we won't offer the 2 year contract.
If you watch closely, you can see the aim for how he wants the front 3 to perform. Very similar in fact to that of liverpool. Martial is the focus with the intention of him dropping into the 10 position and pick the ball up at his feet and turn. Evident from the pinged forward passing we seem to be attempting this season towards him.
Giving his close control and quick turn, this gives Rashford and Greenwood the chance to make breaks into space almost acting as a wide-split front 2. I feel we will see much more of this once Pogba is back in the team and more creativity (Bruno) is added.
In all honesty this seems the best solution and isnt outside the realms of possibility that they will each perform in these roles with the service from Tony, Paul and Bruno. Exciting times ahead.
Unfortunately he didn't say anything that controversial so I can't be outraged. Hopefully someone can help with that.
Both Salah and Mane were never strikers in general and were always inside forwards from the sides while Greenwood is a clear number 9 for me. Another point is I don't actually see Martial having a similar qualities as Firmino in assisting the play. He can hold the ball well and play with his back to the goal but creating chances regularly and stuff I honestly don't see it. Many times this season whenever he drops deep and the ball reaches the flanks there's no one in the box to receive crosses which doesn't indicate that we are playing with 2 forwards upfront.
As for now I will be fine with such setup but in the future I think we will have to make a choice on whom will be a striker eventually. Not to mention that of course we are going to sign more attackers which will make the choice much more complicated.
Yeh it seems the initial quotes were incorrect and he said weren't which makes a lot more sense
Oh boy, I hope not. He was a good servant. So you just keep everybody in the squad that was here a few years as long as they want? This mindset brings you in this mess.
And by the way: he was mentioning the PSG-game. Come on, that was luck and not really a great performance.
Obviously Klopp is playing mind games saying that we 'only defend'. He knows we'll play deep and look to counter, which is a huge pain in the ass because Liverpool rely on space behind for the long passes to hit Mane and Salah, so he's trying to bait Ole and the players to emotionally respond by committing men forward in numbers recklessly.
ManUtd updated the comments, Ole said we weren't ready to offer 2 year contract.

Think it has been misquoted, as others said it makes more sense and was actually said that we wouldn't give him a two year contract.
Can't stand Maguire either, but I guess we don't see him day to day.
Nice little dig at the Scousers
Yes.Nice little dig at the Scousers
He was smiling a lot!
The bastard!
Let's hope he is smiling after Sunday's game for the right reason.
This match rests on Ole formation or more importantly being able to change these during the game. This is now dependent on Rashford fitness.
Klopp will probably go with a 4-4-2 like the 2nd half at OT. So it will be park the bus but he will need to be brave at points and mix the formation i.e. 3-5-2 with 2 DM's. His split striker tactics at OT at actually found Klopp wanting. This formation works if the Scousers go to effective 5 in midfield but he needs to mix this approach up. sometimes in life attack the strength i.e. VVD rather than split strikers, counter with fast balls to make him turn but with both strikers on him. Without VVD at his best then the Scousers ain't a machine. Attack the strength not always the weakness if there is an opportunity. Then again I can't see OGS thinking this way at all!

Well that's it for me. He clearly doesn't have the mentality. Sack him now.
Did no one ask him about Rashford's availability?
Yes the quote is in this thread. Says he is getting treatment and the game is 48 hrs aways, but he isn't hopeful.
Anyong suggesting United will win need to see a doctor.
United will win. <3
They did and Solskjær doesn't know for sure yet. Think it's likely he won't feature.
Olé's team talk every week.
Best not see a Man Utd Doctor, unless you want to be indefinitely & inexplicably injured.
Good one. Sounds like we already won that one, judging by Ole's answers
Typically, Pool and Klopp have been very cautious when playing with us, so I am hoping for some kind of draw, but would be happy to beat the crap out of them as well. Of course you can always lose when playing with the unbeaten top of the league club, but don't want to think about that
Liverpool will win 1-0. They don't thrash teams these days. It will be a close affairs I reckon.
Yeah, for a team that's so good against the bigger sides they rarely match that level against us. Of course, that may say more about our current standard.
Can only recall being dominated by Klopp during the first leg of our Europa tie with them under LvG.
I think it'll be cagey, but I'd be very surprised if we come away with anything - especially as we could be missing arguably our 3 most important outfield players.
He won't be ready to play centrally until another 4 years at least. Why worry?
Yes I guess I jumped the gun there. Sorry for that. Is reasonable not to give him a new contract, whatever the length. But I would find it really strange if Young really run off after talks with him. But maybe this is just media stuff and they decided that it is better for the transfer that he isn't involved in practice anymore.
Arsenal probably will...now it doesn’t seem like a big thing. But 2003/2004 when they last the won the league seems like only yesterday and it you’d had said then that by 2020 they wouldn’t have another league title
The transcript is wrong in this thread? Because it says we were ready to offer that?
True. A lot depends on availability of Rashy. Any news on that one?
From how I read it, Ole was saying if anyone else offers Young a 2-year deal, at almost 35, he should jump on it.
Not a bad press conference. The fact that he frustrates Klopp cannot be underestimated and he should play that up. A Klopp meltdown on the sidelines would be sweet. As has been pointed out, Pool doesn't run up the score often, only 5 goals in the last four matches following a 4-0 trashing of Leicester, and our defense is strong. No matter how things look, as long as we can hold them within 1 goal, we'll always be in it.
