Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
We did, but the shine was kind of taken off in the end…..Copenhagen. I thought we were amazing in the first half.

Yes definitely agree with that. Good while it lasted.First 25 minutes of that Copenhagen game. For a full game, I have no idea.
Yep, me too. His first spell was full of attacking endeavour, and his players seemed to be enjoying themselves. Unfortunately it didn't last, due to who knows what. Many on here will say he was completely useless, I don't agree, but when he was made permanent manager, things started to change. I don't think Ole had much input into our signings, and possibly he was out of his depth once he realised the enormity of the task, and the resigning of Ronaldo may have been the final nail. His much maligned coaching staff have since proved to be good managers to date, although time will tell how good they could become.The last time I enjoyed watching us, in that I was excited about the forthcoming games and the way we were playing, were those two good spells under Ole. It didn't last unfortunately.
Aside from that, I can't think of an even remotely prolonged period. I just want to watch exciting, fluid attacking football and regardless of who's in charge, that very rarely happens.
It's miserable enough though if you can't enjoy Man United winning cups, beating Man City, Man United, Barcelona, PSG etc.The last game Ferguson managed.
The "project restart" period during the first lockdown was the best attacking football we have played over the past few years without question.The last time I enjoyed watching us, in that I was excited about the forthcoming games and the way we were playing, were those two good spells under Ole.

Same - that was the last time I really looked forward to every gameConsistently over a period of months was probably the first few months of Ole's reign.
Correct.@Buster15 the GOAT
Indeed. 2 very good goals and in truth, never looked in any trouble.First game I've enjoyed and not endured for a while.
Yeah, 2011/12 doesn't quite get the credit it deserves. Genuinely the last enjoyable/exciting season we've had. Nani's Charity Shield Fergie time winner, the 8-2 for obvious reasons and winning away at Ajax were standout moments of that season. Shame about the Everton game and Aguero.The last time I genuinely remember us playing some brilliant and entertaining football was the 11-12 season.
Rooney was banging them in at the start of the season, the recovery after the 6-1 defeat, even the heartbreak on the final day of the season.
I know we won the league the following year, but it was a bit of a stroll and that 11-12 season was probably the last enthralling season we've been a major contender in.
