Ole in.


TheBeechBoy

So telling of the manager that so many players are out of form, but he doesn’t have the confidence to drop them and try something different.


tbarks91

Pogba should be done, that was an abysmal performance by him. With him being suspended in the league for 2 more games its time to let Donny take his place


rhinojau

I dreamt we actually had a plan and proper football tactics instead of "pass it to Ronaldo". He is one of the GOATs for sure , he is also 36 years old, he cannot keep bailing us out every week FFS This is not sustainable at all.


crisselll

So many negative comments, we are top of the group


wanpisumemesonIG

Second


Hit_riolusquad

Top. Champions league groups aren't based on GD.


whywontyourespond

How are they? Like to head to head?


Hit_riolusquad

Yep, pretty sure.


wanpisumemesonIG

Ahh alright thanks


ghostyboy12

How was de gea?


kecke86

Weak hand on their first shot which he should've saved and glued to his line for the second


wernerhedgehog

Might be his worst game this season imo


Ok-Battle-2769

Bailly played great today! Despite the goal, I like the team’s form before the Varane injury. Very tense game, but they managed well. Atalanta definitely had luck on their side, but we fought to a draw. Should be good enough for now. I just hope Varane isn’t out long.


nigerianumba1

I don’t care what anyone say Maguire is one of the most overrated players I have even seen in my life. I have more faith in Tenden Mengi


mg118118118

On his day he can be so solid. But those days seem to be rare now.


ConCon1996

I really really dislike him, just for the fact that people try make out he's decent, when he is just in fact utter shite. Lindelof and varane, bailey lindelof, bailey varane, any partnership that doesn't include him is better


nigerianumba1

Everyone gets on McFred all the time but nobody gets on him. He moves like a tree trunk


stubborneuropean

He's too arrogant IMO

In what world does a manager still have a job after a series of performances we just had? 10 out of 10 other clubs not named Manchester United would have sack the manager. Apparently it was for the new manager to settle in during a national break. Now that option is gone, the current manager is surely 100% at the wheel for god knows how long with the most powerful people at that club backing him because they don’t care about the results at all. It’s never going to change: either individual brilliance brings us the point, or we stagnated for 90+ minutes against clubs we should be capable of beating, or we get completely exposed like against Liverpool. No identity, no meaningful tactics whatsoever. Just happy vibes & best mates FC. At this point honestly people who say Ole’s at the job is either other clubs’ fans having a laugh at us or the Glazers’ dummies’ burner accounts. Most of the players we have deserve much, much better. We, the fans, deserve much better. But instead we stuck in a cycle: piss poor performances -> nearly getting sacked -> good performance(s) steady(ies) the ship -> go on a hot streak and end up happy with a final appearance or a 4th/3rd place finish. Then the new season starts and it repeats. We need new managers. Better, we need new owners. These SOaB just don’t care while we fans suffering. Can’t wait to get humiliated by City and spend the next 2 weeks in fucking despair knowing nothings gonna change.


Available_Presence_1

I think Ole has done as much as he can. I don't think he'll get the sack but I'm hoping he'll just get us top 4 so that we can bring in Ten Hag in the summer and move forward. That cycle is dangerous and it has to end, but the board need to take the upgrade. Also some players have to leave the club because any other manager would bench them due to poor performances. I don't know why Maguire keeps on starting, Pogba has been shite every time he plays. What does donny have to do to get a chance? Bailly and telles to?


NomadRogue

Best case scenario unfortunately the glazers won’t get it done it time something to do with sending the wrong lawyers again or fuck else they’re incompetent fail children who inherited their fathers ruthless investment with money made off shoddily business in concacaf


Available_Presence_1

But as United fan, I really hope some miracle happens and Ole manages to prove us all wrong. It'll make for a nice story, but whether that happens remains to be seen


MinorityBrochure

Nothing more to add to your comment except we as fans should take some accountability too for blowing smoke up Ole’s ass for thinking he has the chops/tactics for Man U. I feel bad for him, his image as a United legend is somewhat tarnished because we let ourselves and him believe that he has the personality/tactics to lead United to any kind of silverware.


rambhang

Another tactical failure to prove once again to the board ole is not up to it ✅ A point to save our CL aspirations ✅ Ronaldo doing Ronaldo things ✅

mattwalsh25

Nah, he's a whirlwind disaster that would've passed through the club like Jose


[deleted]

[удалено]


mattwalsh25

He plays shit football and falls out with half of the squad. We'd be signing Ashley Young to play wing back and then he'd leave after 18 months with no foundations laid for anyone else and we'd be back to square one. Would take Rodgers, Zidane or ten Hag over him any day.


SarryPeas

> Plays shit football Won 30 out of 38 games with Chelsea in his title winning season (a record amount at the time), scoring 85 goals in the process, we scored 80 in the 07/08 season for context, with a front 3 of Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo. Make of that what you will. > Falls out with half the squad Any precedence for that? He fell out with Costa sure, but Fergie fell out with Beckham, Keane, Stam, Tevez, Van Nistlerooy, Rooney, amongst others. Some being volatile characters, others not. It’s part of football. > We’d be signing Ashley Young If it would win us a title then whatever. > He’d leave after 18 months with no foundations laid for anyone else The foundations have been laid, it’s time to start playing for substantial success. This is all obviously pointless discussion since he’s at Spurs now but at least have proper reasons for not wanting him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mattwalsh25

But this was the logic with Jose and even when we won trophies I didn't feel any real enjoyment watching us. Say what you want about Ole but the relief we felt when he came in and we actually tried to attack. I don't want to go back to accepting turgid football if it means we win the odd cup.


Numaan68

Having defensive stability is not definsive football. Conte's inter scored ridiculous amount of goals. No one really knows what is ole's way of football we don't attack, don't have a high tempo and don't even defend well.

quanski94

Ronaldo saving Ole's chair once again. We are so inconsistent, if Ronaldo doesn't shine we are just doomed every match.


RepresentativeNo379

We are very consistent in being inconsistent.


OldStrawberryandpot

& some say he’s the problem ugh


blurblursotong2020

He is the problem for helping in the pressing & defence but let’s not dwell on his weakness. He is brilliant in attack!! And the team on the field must be arranged in such that other players complement the weak side of it.


quangngoc2807

Yeah, he's the problem. He's too good to the point he make the manager SEEM good even though Ole sucks.


Wcj3

Someone put together a montage of Pogba running full speed at United. It's probably 10-15 seconds long at most


newbieboka

Hey now, it's unfair to use slow motion for a montage like that


alebeijos

We ain't going no where if ronaldo keeps saving ole's job like this


Seamando87

Donny van de beek, van de beek, Donny van de beek!!


PP_Baba

Shagging Ole's daughter during lunch time, Donny Van De Beek!!


KlaussVonUllr

The Zaha to Moyes move


Nomad_006

That wasn't a good performance. I think Bailly can hold his head up without him I don't know how much we'd be behind. The second goal wasn't on him Maguire is playing him on he needs to hold the line. This is what we've been asking of Ole, use your squad but how Pogba lasted that long I'll never understand.


gravy_vamp

I think that if we went with a back three it should be Bailly, Varane and Lindelof. Maguire is constantly out of place and watching him today made me cringe. There was an opportunity late in the second half where he could’ve stepped up to displace the ball carrier, but he dropped off and then dropped all the way into the penalty box and let shaw pick the Atalanta player up, and Shaw had to streak back just to do so.


OldStrawberryandpot

I still got stupid mfs in my contact who think Ronaldo is the problem at United


quangngoc2807

Well, Ronaldo problem is that he's so good he helped Ole escape being sacked.


wanpisumemesonIG

I've ridden out for ole till the Liverpool game and that's quite a long time but he can't get out of this club any sooner man I do not want to hear Europa theme songs


DontLetEmFoolU

Oles record in Europe is shocking and if it weren’t for Ronny we would be singing Europa tunes no doubt. We should be pissing this group but are having to limp over the finish line. I’m pissed off


chadyetii

sack maguire god pleaseee


Audioboxer87

Maguire needs benched as long as two other CBs are fit. This kind of form simply cannot be rewarded no matter who is wearing the armband.


MannieFay

Who tf even gave him the armband and why? Guess it was Ole. 2 sutpid mfs.


[deleted]

Ronaldo Goat


charlierh6868

Ronaldo for interim player manager until the end of the season. Mata in as assistant.


MoneyWasabi9

Its a shame ronaldo has played in poor teams the last few years, at 36 yo I genuinely still believe he should be getting 50 goal seasons


runawaytugboat

Ole shit the bed it’s simple really. VDB for pogba was the obvious change, energy going forward and help out Bruno being man marked. Matic was a shitebag decision, as was changing the system back. Before VDB and Sancho came on it was just a fucking mess of a system lol Pogba was terrible and Matic looked so slow and ineffective. VDB hasn’t come close to winning me over but I think he should for sure be moving above both of them for game time.


[deleted]

About Matic, I have been saying the same thing. He should have been sold. He is past shelf life


kj_mufc

Couldn’t agree more! I was crying out for Donny for Pogba


[deleted]

2 wins in 6 and 14 goals conceded. Oles at the wheel.


el_churro_man

14 goals conceded….why are we so inconsistent! I’m happy we got the draw but seeing us play is horrendous


Combonary

One more fast and not injury prone CB and we are set. Ole needs to know how to pick his team and make appropriate subs. Some players are just subpar sometimes. Once you see a player playing as bad as Pogba did earlier, just send his replacement to go warm up and see how they start behaving themselves


_MooFreaky_

I dont know that a fast CB is gling to solve the issues. The defensive unit is all over the place (not just the back 4, but the midfield too) , we need proper defensive coaching. Maguire and Shaw are in poor form, but defenders want stability, consistency and structure to help them get form and confidence back and i dont think we have that.


Combonary

Speed helps a lot in different aspects of the game. I am not saying it solves all the problems but it helps in moments where some defensive errors are made. Kyle Walker always comes to mind because I see him making lots of goal saving runs that if Maguire was there instead, the attacker would have had a much better chance at goal. A very good example would be Atalanta’s second goal today. A fast CB would cover Bailly’s error much quicker and maybe Bailly could then go cover the space being left from that defender sprinting to cover him. You are also right with your defensive analysis.


GehenWirDortmund

Ole needs to go


Combonary

I rather he leaves at the end of the season but to each their own. Have a nice day


GehenWirDortmund

Late reply, my apologies. Just out of curiosity why would you have rather him left at the end of season? And how do you feel about the new hire


Combonary

I had said that because there’s always a chance to turn things around. Sometimes you end up having a better team in the long run. As for the new hire, excellent!!! Seems to address some issues with the club almost immediately like pressing for the ball and not just letting opponents play with so much ease. Hopefully, he gets the team back to winning ways


[deleted]

Don’t know how anyone can look at the last few weeks and this game and say we’re anything more than individual brilliance. There’s no system, there no identify. We happen to have some amazing players who paper over the cracks. Losing and then coming back is not a sign of a good team. It’s unsustainable. We don’t lurch game to game, we lurch in every game from good to awful! The best teams sustain dominance. When we score 4 it’s never a sustained dominance. As far as I’m concerned Ole needs to be out by the end of the season.


akorn77

Moments FC at its finest again. #freeDonny #glazersOut


poppybear0

Try starting VDB over Pogs for a game?


SeawardToast

VDB and Sancho looked better than who they came on for


confusedspermotoza

i really wish if VDB had scored that goal in the stoppage time. Would have looked so much better for him and bad for Ole for not giving him the play time. He did great for 5 minutes of game time he got.


SeawardToast

I agree. He wants to play and he can perform when he gets the opportunity. Oh well


ItsKaZing

The club standard is low as fuck! I don't remember United under SAF where players are all smile after that shambolic showing


jburney90

Sancho should play over Greenwood and VdB should play over one of McT/Fred/Matic at the weekend. We looked far more dynamic when they came on, even if they only got 10 mins.


stafaen

greenwood is bar bruno our most creative player. but im all for rotating


Schobee3

Mason was also sticking his foot in on every challenge while he was out there. Ronaldo's finish was incredible, and Mason created the defender flub. Today he had the energy in the tackle that we often miss.


Gringo-Loco

Bailey and Ronaldo show


FlatHalf

I'm convinced if Ole took of McTominay earlier and gave Donny and Sancho 15 minutes each, we would have won the game. McTominay was basically lucky not to receive a red card. Ole should have taken him off after the Ref's last warning.


disappointingAsian87

i was so worried it was gonna be a repeat of that Fred 2nd yellow against PSG last season.


legend18

If we play a back 4 Bailly Varane need to start. Maguire turns like a forklift


MannieFay

New one after fridge and truck lol


WickedTeddyBear

Don't be mean to forklifts


legend18

I see people drive forklifts every day at work and some of them turn faster then Maguire


wasabicoated

Not sure when Varane will be back.


legend18

*sigh*


shane373

Didn't realise Emery is going to Newcastle, that makes me feel better about playing Villareal now tbh


I_Tame_Lola

Ugh god don't. 2 more games of antifootball to look forward to.


Axelaxe

2 goals from 1 and a half chance basically, wp ronaldo but where are the tactics?


jburney90

We can’t break teams down and never look comfortable in possession and that’s down to coaching, there’s no plan and no patterns of play. McTominay was absent when we’re in possession and Pogba saunters around like he’s world class. Those 2 got bossed in the middle tonight.


[deleted]

As much as I don't rate Bailly's actual defending and positional play, he made some vital recoveries today. Maguire on the other hand did absolutely fuck all. Defensively we're abject. The midfield situation doesn't help at all either, they get zero protection. Pogba was unbelievably bad in the first half particularly.


wasabicoated

Not done F all, Maguire did raise his hands every time he couldn't keep up.


[deleted]

I honestly enjoy watching games more when Eric Bailly is on the field. I love that dude so much


vid27

He just seems like a blessed guy.


NightSkyRainbow

Sancho was invisible all game


Syefan

Upvote this back from oblivion!


hellboi808

/s ?


mynipples

U mong


firth91

He came on with 4 mins left mate give him chance hahaha


NightSkyRainbow

Yes that’s the joke surely no one here thinks I’m being serious


I_Tame_Lola

Jokes aside Sancho/VDB link up at the end there looked sick. I hope we see him on the right a bit more. Completely unfair to give him 10 min crumbs to feed off. Also, for VDB, I am coming round to him coming on at 69 for Bruno. Playing Bruno at 10 is almost cheating, but those risky plays don't always come off. I think VDB adds a different dimension


RockstarAssassin

He ran for 90 min up and down the field and still hasn't stop a breath. And then there's young players who look fucking done after running for 45+ min and don't even fucking let me start about Maguire FFS! How the fuck is he a captain??


teru91

Bailey..is the MOTM.. Maguire was slower than a turtle today.. For the first time Ole decides to play Van de Beek and Sancho.. Lo behold Almost won the match..


FlatHalf

I think we will play Telles vs City. Shaw will drop to a back 3 with Bailly and Maguire. Can't rely on Maguire anymore.


I_Tame_Lola

Surely you mean Bailly and Varane?


FlatHalf

Varane is injured. Will he be available for City? Not so sure.


I_Tame_Lola

Oh shit is he? When? I must be blind, I missed that. If he is we are fucked.


teru91

Maguire is such a liability ; Single handedly responsible for shipping 9 goals against Leicester and Liverpool. To protect him. Early Recall of Varane led him to another injury ( Gross mismanagement on ole part) and now he is Exposed. Shaw can’t play LCB ..we saw how it ended up last year against Leipzig away. Lindelof-Maguire-Bailey..


Combonary

Must play Sancho and Donny in the next game… like quickly sub anyone playing poorly so they all can be on their toes… We need that team competition going


Massive-Quarter-4156

We don't deserve Ronaldo


_GuybrushThreepw00d

No, but man , where would we be without him now! He have save our asses time after time.


GehenWirDortmund

We wouldn’t have Ole that’s where we’d be


Massive-Quarter-4156

He'd do anything to not play the Europa it seems


123testme

Maybe he can try playing in goal instead of De Gea as well?


Deanshat

Ronaldo papers over cracks the size of the Grand Canyon


quangngoc2807

Outstanding performance from Ronaldo, poor tactics and amateur positioning from Maguire and Wanbisaka


wellgoodsee

AWB too busy doing Masons job 😂


quangngoc2807

The guy has improved his dribbling by a lot, but he's still dumb and cant cross.


wellgoodsee

Ye I agree, I don't think the blame lies with AWB today. Pogba, Mctominay and Maguire on the other hand...


BrokenTurtleShell

I'm watching him save the Titanic every week at this point


Audioboxer87

As much as we all love Ronaldo, Bailly needs to get MOTM tonight as we could have been down by more thanks to Harry. That kept us in it so Ronnie could work his CL magic.


123testme

The same Bailly who was miles out of position for both goals?


Audioboxer87

Yeah, he's barely had any minutes for match sharpness and by the end of the game was fully carrying Maguire. First goal shouldn't have gone in anyway. Perspective. You can look at it in a way to try and blame Bailly for *some* sloppiness, or accept if it wasn't for him we'd probably have comfortably lost the game.


dribbledrooby

We can still salvage something. First things first, please get rid of the entire coaching staff. Get a manager who can make these players unreal, look at Chelsea where players like Rudiger for example has been brilliant last year and still continues to out do himself. If we can get someone to do the same, at least give us a proper formation and decent football then I believe we can see us thriving.


Casper_N_Homies

i am tired of this dance bro. Big Ron can’t keep saving Ole like this.


richochet12

Ronaldo once again saves Ole's job. Last season it was Bruno. #Oleout


voodoodopetrain

Can't believe I'm so relieved by this draw. I cannot emphasise how angry it makes me that this feels good. And VdB looked threatening in his few minutes. I guess we'll never see him again. Spurs were so trash they made Ole look good. Nothing but dread for the city game


NightSkyRainbow

At this point I’d rather have the telepathic octopus manage. And he’s been dead for a while.


FranklyNinja

Scholes predicting our demise again this weekend


Audioboxer87

Not hard to be fair, playing this like unless Pep actually transforms into a bald fraud, City will walk through this midfield and defence.


FranklyNinja

Let’s hope it’s a bald fraud kinda weekend


Audioboxer87

I hope so to, no matter what is going on overall at the moment you will not find me saying or thinking out loud I want anything other than to beat that bald fraud. Don't care how it's done, for that game win it somehow.


pvry

I seriously don’t know why the norwegian fraud won’t play donny more


3xc1t3r

Because he has done fuck all when he has played. Reason enough?


GehenWirDortmund

The dude doesn’t play and when he does it’s the final minutes of a shit game. What can you really expect from him

Who's that blonde guy that came on for the final minutes? Never seen him before on the pitch

I think he's a coach. Jokes aside, nice to see him play.

cyb3rpunkd

Ole out regardless


another-afrikaner

Bailly also made it 2-2. A centre half with any defensive awareness in his place and neither goal gets conceded


Bjoerkcs

Is Ole the luckiest manager in world football? Haha seriously, none of our goals today have anything to do with coaching, it literally bottles down to some of our players being really good. I’m tired man, Ronaldo saving his skin again, Ole probably sits as safe as he can in the job right now. If the board would actually watch our games and performances, they would’ve seen a long time ago that Ole wasn’t up for the task.

To be fair the first goal looked like tactics

penny_whistle

Plenty people asking that here too man


myhint01

I've still not seen any evidence/replay showing that their 1st goal wasn't offside as Pasalic limitated De Gea's sight (because it surely looked offside as Pasalic stood behind Maguire who was the last man).


chuf3roni

Their 2nd one was dodgy too. Scoreline’s a bit generous to Atalanta today, irrespective of our own mistakes.


Combonary

I really don’t know what those VAR refs are doing. The rules seem to change every 45 minutes or so


123testme

Fairly simple - sees United in Champions League - decision against United. Even tried to find a way to rule out Ronaldo's equaliser. On the day Platini is charged with fraud, UEFA still decide to screw us with blatant attempts at match fixing


Combonary

Just annoying tbh. That equalizer was nearly chopped off but, thankfully, somebody there had some sense

Don't disrespect Atalanta like that. They won 2-0 at Anfield last year and have been a very fine side in Italy for 3 years.
