Interesting read from the so many articles out there on Ole's appointment ...

What will Solskjaer do differently to Mourinho?
First and foremost, the former Cardiff manager has, especially in recent times, adopted a recognised and consistent 4-3-3 formation whilst with his current side Molde and to some effect. Whereas Mourinho appeared to just be sending his team out with no clear instruction or formation, with his players all over the place at times, Solskjaer is at least consistent in his plans.

You may argue that the Eliteserien – the top-flight in Norway – is not comparable to that of the Premier League, but his achievements there are impressive and he could easily give this United team, who are on their knees, a much needed lift – it should be noted that he led his Molde side to the top of their Europa League group in 2015 ahead of Ajax, Fenerbahce and Celtic.

A 4-3-3 system would allow Paul Pogba and Juan Mata to enter the fold once again and play to their full potential, whilst Anthony Martial would benefit greatly from a consistent run out on the left-wing under a manager who won’t demand too much of him defensively – however, one player would benefit more than most…

A temporary stint in the Old Trafford dugout for a United goalscoring legend may be just what Romelu Lukaku needs to become an elite striker in Manchester.

You could argue that Solskjaer’s record at Cardiff was woeful, as he oversaw a swift return to the Championship with no real fighting display on show, but his return to Molde has seen his side record some impressive stats.

The 45-year-old’s team have scored 63 goals in 30 league games in the season just gone, as the Norwegian League finished at the end of November, and 17 in their eight Europa League games. Most impressively, however, is the manager’s effect on 18-year-old striking sensation Erling Braut Håland.

The 18-year-old scored 16 goals in the aforementioned season , including four in five games in Europe, and his boss’ past successes as a predatory poacher are undoubtedly a huge factor in his influential schooling under Solskjaer.

If Solskjaer can do this with a teenager, then surely he must be able to coax some goals out of misfiring forward Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian international has just six goals this season and has been a source of ridicule for most people thanks to his abhorrent first touch, squandered opportunities and causing his own side’s attacks to break down.

Solskjaer managed to score a phenomenal 126 goals in 366 games for the Red Devils over the course of a ten-year period – even if he is only at Old Trafford until the end of the season, if he can teach the 25-year-old about clever movement in the box and how to get in the right areas given how good he was at it, then it would be a move worth making for Manchester United.

Dare not say whether he will still get a permanent contract even if he reach the targets set my the board.

Most pressing need now is for Ole to find the right balance for the team as we still have some world class players.
This is what i believed was missing. Build up the player's confidence is another urgent need.

Good to hear that Mike Phelan will be assisting Ole while still being the director of football for thr Mariners in Australia.
Mike was previously assistant to SAF.
Good to see these experienced ppl and former players back together in the coaching dept supporting Ole in his short contract till end of the season

The main difference between Mou and Ole is Mou was never a top player while Ole played 10 seasons with United.

Hopefully our strikers now can learn from one of the best poachers in the game, especially Lukaku who is really woeful in the Liverpool game. He cannot control the ball in his first touch and overall contribution in the game was a yellow card for that foul on Keita.

I think the toxic mood in the dressing room is immediately lifted upon the appointment of Ole.

Hopefully we can gather the points needed to climb to the 4th spot, and also the 2 leg game against PSG to come.

Hopefully they'll get it right n appoint 'football people' for the post.

Let's get David Gill back

Good to hear Ole said he wants the players to express themselves.
Looking firward to see how he will get the best out of his players, esp strikers would learn from the legend, to provide his advice to the forward line

loveikan · 20-12-2018, 02:39 PM

Lingard is the first player to thank JM.
Good mgr but certain things just cannot work out this season.

Anyway, with Ole in charge, it is a time for Martial, Rashford Lukaku and Sanchez,......maybe Mata to express themselves freely on the pitch.

For Pogba, he has to control his antics and pull up his socks

Can u accept United playing attacking football but win nothing for 5 years or more ?
