hello ed, just a quick question, do you think with the recent investment the board would be satisfied with ole if united only manage to get a champions league spot this season? surely this season has to be make or break for him considering the squad at his disposal, thank you for answering.

{Ed002's Note - Expectations will be high and the expectation will be that the club should be challenging to win.}

I think it depends on how the season pans out.

If the club challenge for the title until the last few games of the season but finish 4th only 4 points off of top spot then I think that's a really good challenge.

If by February we are 12 points off of top spot and then sneak 4th place in the last week or so of the season then that's not really good enough.

In both situations we finish 4th, but the context changes everything.

Rightly so too ed002. We need to be challenging. It ok not to win but its not ok for united to be as submissive and negative as we have been under him so far and such a long way from Challenging.

I hope ole gets braver now I often felt over the last few year we were a bit outgunned by some other sides so we would sit back and use counter attack .
Sancho, bruno, pogba and rashford creating for ronaldo looks a match for anyone now, we should be able to use both flanks now and be able to break down teams sitting back.

Ole has the tools now, city have faced teams defending for their lives for a few year now and had very little trouble dealing with it.
A midfielder wouldn't go amiss but surely with our attacking players our focus should be on attacking football now.
