There’s no need to thank Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the manager, for anything.
People can ramble all they want about the club-DNA, intricacies in game-play, dressing room environment, tactical knowhow, an eye for talent, and what not, but a proper manager should be judged on three fronts - trophies, player-development/man-management, and a clear directionality of overall football. Ole has failed on all three fronts.
He is leaving the club in a worse state than when he joined three years back. He managerial ineptness has set back the club by at least a few years, wasted millions of cash, and even hindered youth development. In the same period, our three biggest rivals have won a whopping five major (PL/CL) trophies. Quite clearly, this is the worst managerial period post-SAF.
