I’ve never been this conflicted over whether I wanted a manager in or out since I began supporting United. Fergie was obviously in all the way, Mourinho too, and Moyes and LvG I wanted out. With Ole, the good points are the sudden periods of straight wins and good football, comprehensive defeats of the top sides and managers across Europe and England and the fact that the players like and are playing for him, an invaluable trait. However, there are also the periods of tumescent football, defeats against worse teams like Palace and Basaksehir and the general feeling that he’ll never find the consistency to win us the big titles.
At the moment, I’m on the fence, probably leaning towards in as he has at least, as proven by yesterday’s comeback, built a team of likeable lads with the balls to fight against all the odds, even if their skill levels aren’t on the same level as City, Liverpool, Bayern, PSG etc etc. Hopefully this run of straight wins can continue for a prolonged period of time.
To finish though, I’m just going to say that he is a far superior manager to Arteta. Even though they beat us (Pogba’s fault that was, what could Ole have done), just compare the results and performances of both teams since Arteta took over.
