New manager bounce has bounced down now

Maybe Jose Mourinho was right when he said that finishing second in the Premier League with that United squad was one of the best achievements of his career.

Needs a clearout - there is lots of deadwood there.

He's doing much better than the quality of that squad. They need a new back four (maybe with the exception of shaw if he can stay fit) and at least 2 midfielders. Probably a new keeper too as de gae seems to have lost interest, and maybe even a new centre forward as lukaku has been well off the pace this year

should have waited until the end of the season.
think they have rushed into appointing Solskjaer.

May well be right there. So many football managers now being given golden handshakes where 3 year contracts given then they get sacked the following season !! Money for old rope and often these same managers soon get back into another football managers job !!

There’s no way they couldn’t have given him the job after the run of results he had. Funny to see so many people who said he had to be made manager after his great start now saying after a poor mini-run that he shouldn’t have got the job.

can see your point. I still think they could have waited after all he was not going anywhere.

By next season he will most likely have changed around his squad of players more to his liking and then he has got one or two seasons to prove himself, if no success, then the dice are thrown again !!

Oops well now the pressure is really on. Will he handle it or will they have to send for Russell to thin out the high earners?

But manager of Man U is a poisoned chalice IMO.

Do you think Man U fans will be “happier” to have lost to City last night to improve the chances of denying Liverpool the PL title? I suspect they will.

I'm not.I don't fancy Citeeee winning it for the next ten years on the trot.

He's beginning to look haggard already. That's what happens when you take over a major club, and after the bounce, it begins to fall apart.

Nah

He should have picked Wilma or Barney instead of Fred

...and a nice £££££££££ payoff?

Dear oh dear, a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield.

was said on TV they are prepared to offload Sanchez.
how much is he now worth IMO peanuts, who would want him now his wages
are reported to be in region of 500,000 grand a week, think they will be stuck with him as well as Pogba.

Pogba will go this close season, Madrid will pay the transfer fee if he reduces his wage demands, to play for them I think he will.

As for Sanchez no one will take that on so unless Utd are gonna contribute to his wages elsewhere I think your right they will be stuck with him. However, I can see him wanting out, cutting his salary to a more realistic amount, but subsidised by Utd, which they will be happy with as it cuts x amount off the wage bill for someone else to utilise.

I couldn't understand how they thought he was the man in the first place, surely his stint at Cardiff should've warned them, if he couldn't cut the mustard at Cardiff what on earth made them think that he would succeed in the hardest job in the League, just plain daft.

I really couldn't believe they first appointed him after Cardiff. When he got the gig full time I knew they had lost the plot.
