    2nd and a Europa League final ****ting seemingly consitutes them doing well.

    It's a measure of how far they've fallen that last season was considered a qualified success by some of their fan base. It's glorious.

      From the same set of fans that pissed themselves laughing at Houllier and Rafa. Both managers achieving a lot more than Ole. Yet they're over the moon with that idiot. No self awareness!

          Well given that a lot of people seem to think they've got a mediocre squad with a dog **** manager and they still came second and got to a final, which is more than we managed as reigning champions, I'd say they exceeded expectations last year.

            Solskjaer will still be a crap manager for some even if he wins them the league.
            Are we winning?

                We lost 6 in a row at home in the middle of a massive injury crisis and they still only managed to finish 5 points above us. We ain't losing 6 in a row at home again.

                  Looking at the investment into the side could you say that they haven’t won because of him? If Klopp or Pep had that squad/investment do you think they’d have win something by now?

                  I think their entire back room structure is lacking - manager, sporting director (based of some of their signings), execs......Woodward has left now and they got 2 big deals over the line so maybe that’s an improvement

                  I think Ole got positivity back into the squad and they can rip teams apart on the break but they don’t control games. I think with the crowd back and if they have a few iffy performances then we’ll see how patient they are

                        Also, what is 'normal' bread as a starter? A slice of Hovis of a standard bread roll?

                          The thing with Ole is he has incrementally improved this United team over the 3 years he's been in charge. He inherited a crap side and had them playing attacking football in a few weeks an improving rapidly.

                          The results over the last few years seems to defy they are lacking in areas though. They're for sure throwing money at it, but that's what they always do and have done since Ferguson.

                              I think people are underestimating Man Utd here, they got 74 points which got them 2nd, people can argue about our performance due to injuries being the only reason that they finished above us and that's probably true. But that points total is a solid top 4 position any year, they have improved both their team and their squad. We went on from a similar points total one year to 97pts the following season and while we might be quick to say how much better Klopp is than Solskjaer I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.

                              Our activity in the transfer market in the last couple of seasons hasn't really improved team or our squad significantly, I would say that they are certainly closing the gap on us our players are aging and the squad isn't being refreshed. We really need to be making signings that improve both our team and our squad and that doesn't seem to be happening at the moment (hopefully there will be a couple of good signings before the window closes).
                              The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
