@@NotReallyTho_ What did 2nd and 3rd get us? You should rephrase your question to, "our rivals enjoyed us winning nothing under Ole?" Yes, our rivals did enjoy that. You obviously didn't live through the glory years if you were happy with 2nd and 3rd.

@@kevinconway2965 @kevinconway2965 it got us into Champions league which got us more money and could help attract better players, dont think we could've signed Sancho or Varane in the Europa League. Not Ole's Fault that all of our players except for our goalkeeper scored a penalty in the europa league final, Also our main starting front 3 under Ole was Rashford, Martial/Cavani and Greenwood, now if you were to drop those players who would you put in the starting lineup? and who ever it is I bet they wouldn't get us into the top 4. Now you may not know this but this club is a shambles behind the scenes. No manager is going to come into this club and win a title in the first 2 years and if you go back and look at the trophies we've won since SAF retired we had an easy run in all of them. Ole had to play against teams like Roma and AC Milan, Mourinho played against teams like Celta Vigo and Anderlecht, I know we played Ajax in the final but that Ajax team wasnt even that good. If im not happy finishing 2nd or 3rd then im not gonna be happy finishing 5th or 6th am I because they're the only other places we've really finished the last 8 years. And lastly I did live through the glory days I'm just not ungrateful. Hating a club legends period as manager isn't gonna bring us a title, the other managers we've had are hardly better than him.
I love how loyal Ole always was with his players, and never blamed them in public, even though he had plenty of reason to. An honest man and club legend. He’s name will always be respected.
I loved him as a manager and was heartbroken when he left. He made me smile again. I knew he won't win us the league, but i would love to have manager like him.

He could've won the league with decent owners. If ten hag ever chooses to leave (hopefully after being successful), I'd 100% have ole back.
Cannot help but love Ole. Always a club legend

I would do anything to bring ole back to united. He was a truly special manager. Under him we allways had hope of coming back after hoing down.

The only reason we didnt win that Euro final, was because DeGea didnt score on his penalty! Talk about fine margins!
He was a good manager. I think signing Cristiano changed a big part of his Man United.
Excellent questions, well done!
One thing Ole had was good at was when we played badly first time against a low-level team in a two-legged match, he boldly say afterwatds that "we will fix it next leg" and they always do. ❤
Awesome interview with better questions than what we seen in the press conferences daily.

My favorite player ever for Man Utd! and now a great young manager!
You can still see the Manchester United Manager in him. Although he doesn't manage the club now, he is someone who will always be the perfect fit for us no matter the situation. I can attest to the dream he had, I'm happy with what he's delivered with United under such difficult circumstances.
Legend 🙏🏽
He has a great personality❤...Man united has not been quality above the standard he set.. returning to united is the best way forward boss OGS🎉

United management should bring back Ole as an assistant coach. He wasn't bad. Players are bad.
Wow Ole.
Love you OGS
Always loved Ole on the wheel , but sticking with Maguire when he was out of form , that took his Job , we used to concede like boyyy, anyway all the best out here Olegend
Ole is such a gentleman, deserves a role at United behind the scenes! Fantastic he came to India, United need to do a full Indian pre-season tour
Legend ole
I loved him so much as a player and coach. He got into a rotten structure at ManU
Ole certainly has got project in his mind, he could have benefitted our team to reach where it belongs with the current takeover and appointment of new people like it is currently.
I can't be the only one thinking post Fergie. Jose followed by Ole are the two closest manager that came to winning the EPL. I'll rank Ole above ETH till it's proved other wise.
I'm SHOCKEDat united hierarchy,its nothing 2do wit liking OLE fans who keep saying that crap..ole is a great man manager top players just want 2 work with him they say he has extreme high potential..people who understand the top level game knows behind scenes united won't find another manager who will die for club and never stop..ole will just get better standing with that world class staff needed players fear him in dressing room
40 plus years fan the OLE years got hamperd by lockdown
What’s gollum doing in India
Most attacking football since SAF retired
He is legitimate so easy to hate!! He made his name from a goal late in the final and is happy to take the attention off Sheringham who was the real hero

Before he took the managerial role and the press made him a meme, I honestly can't think of a single player so unanimously adored by a club. He went from the first player to speak out about the takeover to a supposed glazer puppet. There's a reason 70k rocked up to his testimonial, the man bleeds united.

He's so needy and cheesy "if someone wants that guy call me" and he's not joking either! This is a manager that made Maguire captain and played Pogba and fred
Why is he calling him "sir alex" and lying about him! Ferguson wasnt tgere at training when ole started playing for us
High press is his style??😂 Good to know.
Really Really strange how the wheels fell of at United. Too many chiefs & not enough indians?? (No pun intended)
This sounded like Ole trying to get a job lol😂

Ole are you dreaming, during your tenure in man. Utd how many trophys did you win, now you say man. Utd can win anyone. Don't bullshit.
Such a sad interviewer. You can't ask what your style is and say, "people talk about Pep and Jurgen Klopp". This means that you haven't' done your homework and are only going by what is being said in social media.
If he was better at speaking to the press and not such a suck up and if got rid of scum like Pogba, Lingard,and all that trash he could of been good. But I think he wanted to be different to Ferguson as he resented Ferguson
Such a weakling! It's crazy that our super sub became manager and Roy Keane wasn't! Keane was meant to take over after Ferguson but that Portuguese coach took over! Keane was what those plum players needed! Weaklings!
Bloody hell he is so easy to hate with his falseness and fakness! I don't know why he can't be real! He's always trying to sell himself and always lying! He never played high press
