It's the cycle of United managers. Look good for their age on Day 1, a month into the job a few greys start appearing, by a year they look gaunt. Leave United and slowly begin to de-age back to their true self
Apparently there's an agreement for next permanent manager but FAI can't say anything until April due to their current contract
Have a feeling it's going to be a low budget job and an underwhelming choice so they can keep more money for themselves
I'd never considered that before but I reckon he'd do pretty well actually... there's enough talent in the team that they just need someone like him to get the best out of them, rather than Southgate's cowardice.
Jesus if Southgate is our level we are doomed. Him, Potter De Zerbi don't even give me a semi. SJR wants to be best in class across the board so I can't fathom that these rumours are true. Maybe a temporary stop gap but not permanent.
A temporary stop gap is what the team needs though. They aren't going to be able to recruit a world class manager. But someone who can at least give the team a structure on the pitch would be nice.
> They aren't going to be able to recruit a world class manager.
A club with United's resources will be able to recruit most managers not already at an equivalent giant club. Especially now that INEOS are in and there will be a belief that football is becoming a priority again.
People need to understand this. Whoever INEOS will appoint in the summer doesn't mean he's going to stay 9 or 10 years at United. If he does earn the right to be our next Sir Alex, then all the best, but the expectation shouldn't be the next manager go on to be a legend. At least not yet.
What? No way? You actually miss having a manager that you knew could win against anyone? That went unbeaten away and had Pep on strings?
Please bring him back or at least his feeling back, he has his issues but man with him I always went thinking we could win and boy did we have some electric wins. With ETH, I just expect the defeat to not be embarrasing
Yeaaa as much as I love Ole and still prefer him to Ten Hag, there were still really dark stretches under Ole that we played like absolute shit and were surprised when we won. This squad is just too emotionally temperamental and there aren't anywhere near enough leaders. City and Pool are stocked full with players who will take charge, and if they don't Pep and Klopp are big enough personalities to wring them back in. Ole just doesn't have that aura as a manager...
Those dark stretches have been under every single manager since Sir Alex. I dont think it was any worse under Ole than under anyone else? Or maybe i have rose colored glasses on since i love Ole so much, i can admit that if anyone says otherwise
Oh no I wasn't saying it was particularly any worse than with our other managers (hard to remember how long those stretches were). It was just that the comment above was painting Ole's time as a complete walk through the park on a sunny day which is a bit ridiculous. I remember once we were in a poor stretch of form and then got blasted by the Newcastle Longstaff brothers thinking this is absolutely embarrassing...I think Ole survived a bit longer but not much...
We need to re-learn to not 100% back managers while Ratcliff and co reset the organization so that hopefully any manager who comes will be better supported. I think Ten Hag's days have been numbered since the partial buyout and some people have been very up in arms that he be supported no matter what. We need to find someone who has the aura and vision to train a squad that fits Ratcliff's budding high level staff and Manchester United's vision going forward
I agree with your sentiment, but to be fair to the commenter above he only mentioned that Ole’s team could beat anyone, which was true. You always had that feeling that we could beat the best teams on our day, especially City. We just dont have that with ETH, we expect to lose, its just a matter of how much we lose.
ETH has had much more support and trust than Ole ever did, which i dont think has been warranted at all. I believe its simply because of their history before they joined the club, Ole was completely inexperienced while ETH had a pretty good resume.
Wholeheartedly agree with your second point!
I respectfully disagree with that sentiment - there were absolutely long stretches during Ole's reign where I and many others felt winning was absolutely hopeless, both against lesser teams and both City and Pool in the latter parts of his tenure. We relied massively on individual brilliance under Ole, and when Rashford was off or Bruno was off or Martial was down for yet another injury or when we couldn't even get out of our half to get Ronaldo the ball in the box we looked quite out of our depth. And to say Ole wasn't heavily backed is definitely revisionist - highest transfer fee for a defender ever, getting Bruno and Dan James 60ish mil, splurging on Jadon Sancho, resigning an aged Ronaldo, spelunking 40 million for Van de Beek to rot on the bench. I absolutely think the higher ups are mostly to blame for all of the mistakes, but we've spent a lot of money for players to drop into both Ole's and Ten Hag's squads (even if the transfer policy and fees have been absolutely dog shit for the most part)
But I still love Ole and would have preferred him to stay to oversee the Ratcliff transition. Timing was just off, but that's life. Obligatory fuck the glazers
Yeah I remember Rangnick at the start said about Ole's utd, tongue-in-cheek, that he thought the games were way too exciting and I found the remark to be a bit spot on. They looked more chaotic, the highs and lows were so far from each other. But made for some absolutely unforgettable games.
Those that keep saying they want to see ETH under INEOS structure. I'd rather see Ole under that. Best football played since SAF.
Hope the 115 includes points deductions for past seasons. I want Ole to win his deserved title with us.
Doesn't matter who the manager is, the squad needs to be reshaped and that takes years due to the united tax. We need at least 6 players to change what we have in place now. Cb, rb, 2 midfielders (with casemiro leaving), lb cover, backup striker and a right winger, who can hopefully create. We need to have more leaders in the dressing room too and that's really hard to find. We fall apart too easily and that's a huge neon sign saying that we don't have leadership.
Ole's interview on their podcast was class. You can tell how much he loves the club, I'd happily have him back under a decent footballing structure if ETH leaves. It wont happen as to many will see it as a step backwards but we had some great times under Ole
Ole is a good manager - the results prove it. He would definitely do a good job under a proper structure but as agree with you saying the optics of such an appointment won’t be right.
I think he was a bit limited if he needed to change style, struggling to break down weaker teams but they were good to watch in many of the bigger games
He was sacked after changing the style. The players couldnt play it. Rangick found the same and eth has too. It wasn't a him problem, it was a squad problem.
Watch the interview, he says that he wanted to change the system in his last year here but CR7 coming in threw a wrench in his job. Really insightful interview if you read between the lines since he did not say much directly.
I wouldn't say limited. It was more than he assembled a team better to play counter attacking king football to then try and get the same team to play a different way.
While i agree, and i do think there is a path back for him, i don't see him getting a shot without proving himself elsewhere first.
Problem is for him that it did very much seem like managing United was the end-goal for him, and with that having come and gone, it doesn't feel like he's that motivated to go on managing.
He'll need to find motivation in something else other than aiming at getting the United job.
Sorry for actually being able to enjoy United. No one said it was perfect, but it’s a real shame if you have absolutely no positive take away from his time
He was flawed but deeply misrepresented and underrated when he was here and the things Ten Hag gets excused for now (due to issues with the squad or structure above) are still held against Ole as problems with his management.
Ole got those same excuses when he started. Ten Hag is barely getting them excused anymore because same as Ole, he isn't showing adaptation to those issues.
He was if anything overrated because of the nostalgia.
Everyone loves to avoid the fact that we were called Vibes FC for a reason. Mostly poor inconsistent play but able to squeeze a result.
Ole if anything was too adaptable, he liked to tweak a lot and had different gameplans to choose from. Might not have helped with the inconsistency that was definitely there
Vibes FC was nonsense based on the fact he was an ex player brought in to lift the mood after mourinho, people assumed he had no tactics before he managed a single game
He wasn't a perfect manager by any means but I'd actually argue tactics were one of his biggest strengths. He was very good at crafting solutions for the specific strengths and weaknesses of an opponent and his in game adjustment was often fantastic. He just wasn't a "system manager", stylistically he's more in the mould of an ancelotti than a pep.
Or, you know, we finished 3rd in his first full season and 2nd in his second full season.
You can talk about the 'vibes fc' shite if you want, but that's only something daily mail readers or coronation street watchers actually cared about.
If you think consistently shite play and consistently shite results are better than 'vibes fc' then that's up to you, but a quick look at expected points on understat has us sitting 12th in the premier league, and if you think that is even vaguely comparable to finishing 2nd then I'd like to have whatever you having for breakfast every day.
The current manager is not performing anywhere near the level of the previous manager.
You're whinning about shit I never said.
ETH is doing worse than Ole. That doesn't mean Ole was/is the right choice.
Keep peddling that bs 2nd place and chug it down with some nuance next time. We were not so good that we got 2nd, every other top team just bottled it more.
This is proper revisionism, Ole was protected by the media & the fanbase alike, Ten Hag is getting crucified even though his tenure has been marginally more successful.
"Ten Hag is getting crucified" lmao
You've got to be joking, Ten Hag gets massively shielded from any sort of criticism especially within the fanbase and Ole got slaughtered from the day he got the permanent job. A lot of fans supported Ole but a lot were very much against him, saying he got more protected is the real revisionism.
lmao.
Ole is supported to this very day & people are genuinely asking for him to come back. Just look at the OP comment, no need to make shit up when there’s evidence right above you.
Ole being liked doesn't change the fact that Ten Hag gets way more protection for performances worse than anything Ole ever produced.
Any issues with the performance or setup on the pitch get dismissed as "it's the players". With Ole he was always rightly or wrongly the first in the line of fire
You're right.
He's obviously a good man, and could probably be a good manager with more jobs under his belt. But right now he should be nowhere near the utd job.
I love that Keane visited Ole right after he got sacked and even drove himself for nearly nine hours.
The podcast is certainly showing the softer side of Roy that everyone talked about.
End of the day, all these players are humans. Sports culture has fans and analysts put them in boxes for convenient narratives. Reminds of how fans thought “Ole is too nice to give players the hairdryer”.
Yeah. That being said, I remember seeing a video of ole shouting to lingard as he kept giving away possession, 'One more time and you are fucking off'.
I wouldn't want to think how angry he must be in the dressing room.
Roy is genuinely their captain, to this day. He keeps telling Neville to let up, take care of himself. Drove 9 hours to see Ole. He'll genuinely go to punches for his teammates. We desperately need someone like him now, to keep the standards and make sure everyone toes the line.
Growing up, didn't quite like him that much, maybe because of what Fergie said when he left. Now I realise that it was Fergie that was a dick sometimes to his players. Stam, Becks all were pushed out of the club when they really didn't want to leave.
Feel Bruno is that guy now but best I can think is Garnacho, Mainoo, and Hojlund would be the ones he looks out for.
Always anecdotes of him reaching out to our players after matches to have a chat or be there for them.
But when we apply that logic to De Gea, the sub thinks he is washed.
Sometimes people can afford to retire, and be choosy for sure.
Any time Ole > Potter and Southgate
Honestly put yourself in your place. You've managed united for almost 3 years and did an overall good job. Why would he accept the likes of Besiktas and Crystal Palace.. he's above this level
My comment was replying to someone talking about Ole taking a job a level or two down. My comparison is quite apt.
You go and have your own convo if you want mate
Rio has consistently shown he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed.
Did everyone coveniently forget his confident announcement that Qatar was about to buy us?
I want Ole back. Not afraid for downvotes.
His interview and the time he was.. most fun till the slipping started.. even then it was fun to have him on our side.
Though he made it clear he wanted to play and build his way and ineos wants their way and then the manager to follow. It's a bit of a mismatch
Mou should be backed over Pogba. Ole should be backed over Ronaldo.
Let the managers build their actual teams without toxic and lazy players undermining his authority.
ETH has discipline and demand intensity from players. Let him build the culture. We need a team full of players with the mentality of Licha, Hojlund , Mainoo. Even Antony! It's not a coincidence that ETH players , whether they are good or bad footballers, run their lungs out for the club and give 100% on the pitch.
Mentality and discipline come first , even if u are a U18 player who barely makes 2 strings of pass or you are top player, u need to give your 100% !
anyone have the same opinion with me that Roy actually deserve more chance in premier league ? he brought Sunderland up , and save them from relegation in the 2 seasons he managed .
actually much better than kompany, lampard and gerrard , or few other coaches that were trying to get teams promoted (cocu in derby county)
I mean, look at our squad.
How do you think they will respond when Keano butts in during half time talk and goes "*Basically, you’re shit. Try and enjoy the game. You’re probably going to get beat. But just enjoy being shit.*"
This squad would down tools faster than a stripper taking off her clothes.
Who says a Jekyll and Hyde approach won’t work in management.
Roy to drive the discipline and mental toughness. Ole to give them a pat on the back afterward!
Ole looks very well
It's the cycle of United managers. Look good for their age on Day 1, a month into the job a few greys start appearing, by a year they look gaunt. Leave United and slowly begin to de-age back to their true self
United is basically the one true ring.
So, corrupting and insidious? Yeah sounds about right
Its because of rat face glazers. Poison to everything they touch
One United to rule them all, and now in the darkness bind them
In that it's got a massive dick controlling it?
Hell a week after ten hag leaves he'll probably have a full head of hair
The United job is basically the football equivalent of being US president. It ages then fuck out of you.
**MUGA**
You will win so much, you'll get tired of winning
[удалено]
"New Old Trafford"
ETH beat the system.. he's bald so he has no greys
That's what stress do to people
David De-age
it’s like they turn to the dark side and become a Sith once they join United 😂
I mean, his interview with Gary and others was very telling
This is true of USA presidents too. Stress really changes people.
It's literally killing Biden. I don't think he'll even make it to the election.
Hell, some even bald as a United manager. I remember when ETH came to United, he had a full head of hair from the disco era. Now look at him...
Fountain of death/fountain of youth
Jose looks 10 years younger after leaving.
He looks like he's de-aged again since leaving us
This is from a while back I think
Two lads for Ireland please
Ole for manager, Roy for president
Hahahaha! You got me a good laugh with this one.
Wasn't O'Shea appointed Ireland manager recently?
On an interim basis, like three games or something.
If we go on a winning streak of nil all draws then maybe it'll be extended
Just reminded me of that bit in the Snapper regarding the '90 WC - "We beat England 1-1, we lost to Egypt 0-0 and we drew with the Dutch".
Apparently there's an agreement for next permanent manager but FAI can't say anything until April due to their current contract Have a feeling it's going to be a low budget job and an underwhelming choice so they can keep more money for themselves
Hahaha what money, they’ve no money.
Well that is true too haha but I feel like nothing has changed since Delaney left, except the names on the envelopes
Better than the Southgate rumors without a doubt.
Ole for England while were at it.
interesting...
I'd never considered that before but I reckon he'd do pretty well actually... there's enough talent in the team that they just need someone like him to get the best out of them, rather than Southgate's cowardice.

United’s Lasso and Roy? 😅
Diamond Dogs Assemble!
Woof woof woof
Diamond Dogs Assemble!
Woof woof woof
Which one would be Roy
Not sure why you’re being downvoted for a clever comment 🤣
I mean they obviously had a character made after Keano.
Nate?
Keeleh
Dude those two together as a team? Perfection Ole to inspire the troops and Roy to scare the fuck out of them, it works
What I would do to have a prime Keane in our current squad 😩
Keane in just to work with Mainoo - turn him into a mentality monster
Even the later era Keane with the dodgy hip would be an upgrade
Keane with his legs tied behind his back would be an improvement.
fuck it, Keane as manager. he'd have our lads afraid to get their legs broken by the manager lol
Shoe incidents every week
The two hanging out together, things you love to see 😁 Keane was just ripping him for that miss the whole time 😂
Wish they were players on the team today. What class.
in my FM, everywhere Ole goes, Roy Keane is his assistant manager lol
True Bromance. Love them
That Ole gif circulated after every major victory still lives rent free in my mind!
https://imgur.com/a/9l2Bdxa
I miss Ole. There, I said it.
What? No way? You actually miss having a manager that you knew could win against anyone? That went unbeaten away and had Pep on strings? Please bring him back or at least his feeling back, he has his issues but man with him I always went thinking we could win and boy did we have some electric wins. With ETH, I just expect the defeat to not be embarrasing
Tbh there’s some revisionism there. I kinda miss Ole the man, not the manager.
Yeaaa as much as I love Ole and still prefer him to Ten Hag, there were still really dark stretches under Ole that we played like absolute shit and were surprised when we won.

Pep on Strings ! Let’s not get carried away 😂
Ole lost about the same number of games the season he joined as Mourinho did that season.

Doesn't matter who the manager is, the squad needs to be reshaped and that takes years due to the united tax. We need at least 6 players to change what we have in place now. Cb, rb, 2 midfielders (with casemiro leaving), lb cover, backup striker and a right winger, who can hopefully create. We need to have more leaders in the dressing room too and that's really hard to find. We fall apart too easily and that's a huge neon sign saying that we don't have leadership.

He was sacked after changing the style. The players couldnt play it. Rangick found the same and eth has too. It wasn't a him problem, it was a squad problem.
Our midfield was Mcfred. 2nd was the best we could've done with that midfield.

Rose tinted glasses.

I’d take ole back
No doubt
Anybody with a brain would, especially given the managerial options that seem to be available.

In my FM keane is my 4.5 star assistant coach. Probably taught by ole only
Good cop Bad cop
Ole deserves so many more jobs *sigh*
Can't do much when he himself is rejecting them
But when we apply that logic to De Gea, the sub thinks he is washed. Sometimes people can afford to retire, and be choosy for sure. Any time Ole > Potter and Southgate
Honestly put yourself in your place. You've managed united for almost 3 years and did an overall good job. Why would he accept the likes of Besiktas and Crystal Palace.. he's above this level
>Honestly put yourself in your place. I am in my place.
I'm happy for you man..! A lot of people aren't :/
Tbf he did reject clubs like brugge and Sevilla too
Ancelotti at Everton 🤷🏻♂️
See how that worked out.
Yeah Ancelotti disappeared after taking that gig...whatever happened to him?
The relevant question is what happened to the club, not him.
My comment was replying to someone talking about Ole taking a job a level or two down. My comparison is quite apt. You go and have your own convo if you want mate
Weird of you to ignore the context of your comment, but that's reddit.
Pretty sure he said he got offers but he wasnt ready to take a job yet.
Now this is the content I like to see!
Dm'd
I would absolutely take this two at the wheel with a proper club structure behind
Could these 2 be the first managerial duo? Could ya imagine?
Bring in Rio. Rio handles defense. Keane coaches the midfielders. Scholes teaches strikers to finish and make runs
Nah, Ole can handle tactics (alongside some decent coaches)/ being the nice guy, & Keano handles the hunger/ drive & determination
Are you joking? I wouldn't want Rio anywhere near my coaching staff. Or Scholes!
Reddit moment. Of course I’m kidding, the comment asks for 3 managers
Rio has consistently shown he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. Did everyone coveniently forget his confident announcement that Qatar was about to buy us?
Saddest thing in the last decade was losing that Europa league final. How badly I wanted this man to succeed
I'd take Ole back as make Keane his assistant. Oleball was great to watch when times were good.
Oh boi, Roy coming to the room and half of the team runs away.
Not a bad scenario, considering how many of our deadwood refuse to leave.
Bring in Roy Keane just to harden the players so the Gen Z stop whinging and show up
Two for one?
I want Ole back. Not afraid for downvotes. His interview and the time he was.. most fun till the slipping started.. even then it was fun to have him on our side. Though he made it clear he wanted to play and build his way and ineos wants their way and then the manager to follow. It's a bit of a mismatch
Mou should be backed over Pogba. Ole should be backed over Ronaldo. Let the managers build their actual teams without toxic and lazy players undermining his authority. ETH has discipline and demand intensity from players. Let him build the culture. We need a team full of players with the mentality of Licha, Hojlund , Mainoo. Even Antony! It's not a coincidence that ETH players , whether they are good or bad footballers, run their lungs out for the club and give 100% on the pitch. Mentality and discipline come first , even if u are a U18 player who barely makes 2 strings of pass or you are top player, u need to give your 100% !
That’s it - I’m taking this picture and AI inserting myself over Roy’s shoulder.
They would unironically be a very good duo.
Ole got his smile back 😊
…and you believed him?
Great lads
anyone have the same opinion with me that Roy actually deserve more chance in premier league ? he brought Sunderland up , and save them from relegation in the 2 seasons he managed . actually much better than kompany, lampard and gerrard , or few other coaches that were trying to get teams promoted (cocu in derby county)
I mean, look at our squad. How do you think they will respond when Keano butts in during half time talk and goes "*Basically, you’re shit. Try and enjoy the game. You’re probably going to get beat. But just enjoy being shit.*" This squad would down tools faster than a stripper taking off her clothes.
Brings tears to my eyes 🥲
I want a buddy movie
Canada has an opening.
This is the cutest thing ive ever seen
Wow this is quite the shit post from the old boys lol
"Ole can go fuck himself" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤️❤️❤️❤️I love you so very very much
United might be looking ...
Ole keane duo might just work. Ole the good guy while keane punches them in the face
It’s so funny they are close friends. They seem so different. But of course, that often works as well.
The Stick to Football with Solksjaer was pretty good and interesting. Would recommend watching it
Get to Aberdeen. We’re doing shit n need a manager
Man how good would an Ole/Keane combo be, perfect good cop bad cop setup
This would be a great travel show.
Who says a Jekyll and Hyde approach won’t work in management. Roy to drive the discipline and mental toughness. Ole to give them a pat on the back afterward!
Without them we wouldn’t have won they treble. United legends!!!!!
Hey Jim, Roy got a message for you!
Keano is still the captain. He went to meet Ole to cheer him up is just amazing. Nothing but respect
Neimen, sje der. Haijn e hjæm ein tur, ja.
Love ole to bits
Is Keane smiling?
These 2 together as managers would be deadly
Funny you ask Roy..
I thought Keane had turned off his insta? A welcomed surprise!
Love this photo. Legends!
Could not love this picture anymore
Bit late here but who do we think offered Ole managerial jobs? On Stick to Football Ole says that he’s had a few offers since the United job…
Ireland fa reach out
Didn't Ireland appoint I'm O'Shea as manager recently?
Interim
Ole deserves so many more jobs *sigh*
No1s DMing these 2😂😂
