And again you are talking about results and success rather than how he is reshaping the squad of the last decade.
If he continues to do this for the next 1 and a half years and improve our squad bit by bit whilst ditching de gea, martial, Mata, jones etc then I'd be happy with it even if we dont win the PL.
That's ultimately the difference between me and you. You want that success and I personally dont think it can come that easily. Nagelsmann is a coach I'm interested in but United isnt run by Red Bull. It's being run by the Glazers and Woodward. Nagelsmann's time will come to manage United, but doing it now is very similar to going for Jose or Van Gaal.
People complain about Ole having no style of his play. People say that he relies on individual ability. Before a couple months ago we were seeing him use 352, 4231, 442 diamond.
Absolutely no plan or cohesion. That's because he is trying to build a squad that is flexible yet good enough for United based on their individual quality.
Managers like Nagelsmann are very tactically heavy that they change our entire squad if possible to blend towards their tactics alone. we saw this with Jose and Van Gaal - the only time it stopped is with Ole who had no tactics in comparison because he is building a squad up for once rather than building a squad around a specific tactic. Our squad has dropped Fellaini, Rojo, Sanchez, young, chong, pereira, dalot, Lingard, Fosu Mensah and more to continue.
The best way to see what Ole is doing is his first season when he would play Andreas Pereira non stop to see he was good enough then made his decision and sent him off to another club.
Some people are not interested in this and just want the quick short term success - but we are struggling for a decade after coming out of the management of a manager who managed us for 20 whole years. We are not going to be managed the same way as other clubs because we are simply not them.
Its understandable for Ole ins to want to deviate on this 'reshaping of the squad'. After all Ole had won jack shit despite spending nearly 300m worth of players. Even washed up managers like LVG and Mou were able to bring trophies home.
But let's play on your turf.
Ole invested around 145m in defence and we tend to play with 2 enforcers in midfield. Yet we conceded more goals to the likes of West Ham, Villa and Arsenal. But hey we need another 80m CB to make our previous 80m CB look decent.
In midfield Bruno had been a top top signing. He's probably the reason why Ole is still in the job while Rashford had been doing very well. However Greenwood, James, Lingard and Martial had regressed while Mata seem to have vanished in thin wind
The forward line had been an utter mess. Ole extended Ighalo's deal only not to play him. As said before Martial had regressed. Cavani had done meah but he's not a solution while Ole's failure to persuade his prodigy to sign for us rather then Dortmund needs to be noted.
Ole ins love to target Mourinho and LVG regarding signings. What they fail to do though is pointing out that Ole had signed 1 top player. The rest varied from meah (Maguire, AWB, Cavani) to not good enough (James) right till to non existent (Telles, VDB, Ighalo, Diallo). Its ironic how bar Bruno, all our top players are either youths who were given a shot by previous managers (ex Rashford) or signings from previous managers (ex Shaw in defence, McT and Fred in midfield etc). They love to point how top young players had regressed under them. Yet they also deviate from the fact that Martial, James, AWB and Greenwood had regressed under Ole after starting so well. Not to forget that we were all livid when Mou kept Fred out of the squad. Yet Ole ins seem to refuse getting enraged with Ole doing the same to Diallo and VDB with the latter being far more rated then Fred ever was. Its also ironic to see fans getting at Nagelsmann back despite the guy is younger then Ole and had knocked him off the CL despite managing a team on a ridiculous budget. Leipzig net transfer cost for the past 4 years is probably less to what we paid for Maguire.
To conclude Ole is a great man manager. However he seems reluctant to
a- allowing non mates to join his coaching staff,
b- trusting players outside the EPL
c- come out with a plan b especially during the game.
If that's true then he's not good enough for United.
