Good news!! Let the mediocrity continue

Two Ole Gunnar Solskjaer assistants set for new Manchester United contracts
Man Utd have handed assistant manager Mike Phelan a new three-year deal and more coaches could follow suit.

Manchester United are in talks with Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna over new contracts after assistant manager Mike Phelan agreed a new deal on Monday.
Phelan's deal until 2024 followed the new contract handed to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the summer, which also runs until 2024, and was considered a show of faith in the existing structure at Old Trafford.

That support is set to be reinforced with first-team coaches Carrick and McKenna — who have both worked closely with Solskjaer — also set to be handed new three-year deals which will keep the coaching structure in place, And sources at MEN believe Woodward is keen to add to those ranks and as in talks to bring In Massimo Taibi, Eric Djemba Djemba, Bebe and David Bellion in as specialist coaches to assist the set up.

Solskjaer's contract had been due to expire at the end of this season.
But the fact he signed a three-year extension in July, and the decision to follow that up with similar deals for his trusted staff, is a sign that United still have plenty of faith in the existing set-up at the club.
United enter the second international break of the season in fourth place in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Chelsea, but the nature of performances has led to a feeling that the pressure is growing on Solskjaer.

So far this season, points have been dropped against Southampton, Aston Villa and Everton in the Premier League, while United are also out of the Carabao Cup after losing to West Ham.
There was also a defeat to Young Boys in the Champions League, with Cristiano Ronaldo's 95th-minute winner against Villarreal last week essential in putting United back in control of their destiny in Europe.
But with United still in a strong position in the table, Solskjaer and his staff retain the faith of the board, with new deals for Phelan, Carrick and McKenna, despite the debate around the Norwegian's future outside of the club.
Last month Ed Woodward backed the progress made under Solskjaer and the executive vice-chairman displayed his support for the manager on a quarterly investors' call.
“We have been clear in our strategy to build a squad with a blend of top-class recruits and homegrown talent, comprising a balance of youth and experience, with the aim of winning trophies and playing attacking football the Manchester United way, " he said.

"As part of this, we have continued to strengthen our recruitment and scouting processes, and we have also increased our investment in the academy, to ensure that this success is sustainable. While squad-building is a constant process, we are more confident than ever that we are on the right track."

Ha ha brilliant......

I was listening to BBC 5L last night and Micah Richards (I know) made a good point about their upcoming fixtures. His argument was that United being a counter-attacking team, playing the likes of City, LFC and Chelsea will suit their style of play with teams that come at them.

He might have a point but I am not so sure myself. They are so poor defensively and there are teams like Wolves and Villa getting so many chances against them. One team is going to be clinical against them and have a field day.

Would be brilliant if that was us later this month.

Ferguson saying that you should always start with your best players in an interview. This is super. He's probably behind Phelan getting a new contract too. I think Klopp should talk about the importance of having wise old voices working and influencing the club's direction behind the scenes. This mediocrity could continue for a while yet if we're luckily. And Ronaldo hasn't even had a proper flounce yet. Woohoo!

[badpiggy]

And add in whatever the **** Rio Ferdinand thinks he's doing as well. It's nostalgia/recreate the past on steroids.
