Oles happening.
06 Jan 2026 17:47:56
The scenes on here if that happens…hard hats at the ready ?.
06 Jan 2026 18:06:33
I'll be sick.
06 Jan 2026 18:13:20
Absolutely desperate, at least neville and his chums will be happy, won't hear a peep out of them for the rest of the season, I can see it now, we beat city and arsenal and rio will be wailing for him to have it full time, unbelievabley funny.
06 Jan 2026 18:20:12
Maybe wilcox is on some sort of sabotage job.
06 Jan 2026 18:28:39
Jeez…. At least we have form for getting personnel back after we get rid of them.
06 Jan 2026 18:35:13
Probably fits Nevilles idea of "Utd Dna", whatever the f that is! Genuinely embarrassing when they say this.
06 Jan 2026 18:57:37
If its Ole again, then that's the final nail in the coffin.
06 Jan 2026 19:51:33
Must have fell into a time machine and gone all the way back to 2018 man utd manager gets sacked after outburst at board ole Gunnar solsjaer. Steadys the sip .

Groundhog Day.

Ole is a good man, loves the club and will stabilise the mood. It will be a 5 months max.
Some very disappointing comments here. Ole deserves better and respect.
06 Jan 2026 20:24:54
Ole is to sir Jim as Martin is to wee dermott up in Glasgow. I’d much rather carrick be brought in as I thought he did ok at boro and for a few months then why not.
07 Jan 2026 02:19:45
I’d take Ole and Keane until the end of the season. Fairly confident they’d have us finishing in the top four.
07 Jan 2026 08:55:27
I dot dislike Ole, but let's be honest, he did not push the club forward, at all. May E he didn't send them backwards either, but we have some very big years ahead and he is not the guy, never will be. He is a yes man. A spineless yes man. A puppet, as it were.

A few thoughts re: Ole, I think there was a perception last time that he pretty much let the players do what they wanted at training - probably over-simplifying things but it seems there wasn't as much structure to the sessions behind the scenes. Maybe that's why he was so popular with the players. How much of that contributed to the 'player power' culture, with Rash/Lingard/Sancho all in full flight in that period.
That being said, I doubt there's been a more popular United manager in recent years, and I'd say that the Ole era first time round was vastly more enjoyable to watch than any other for the past 13-14 years, even the final Fergie season.
I'm not overly against Ole as caretaker, but for christs sake no matter what kind of run if any we go on, no knee-jerk contracts before the board have sat down at the end of the season and discussed properly.

I still don't understand the negativity about Ole's managerial tenure. Especially as we've visibly gone downhill since he was fired.
Ole had a clear deficiency tactically, particularly regarding making changes mid-match, but I always felt this was something which he could learn, and he did make some improvement in this area during his time with us, albeit not by a lot.
However, he also had players giving their all, gave us some of our best league finishes since SAF (certainly better than we've had since he left), a fairly decent win percentage, and IMO at least, the most entertaining football we've played since SAF.
Obviously that last part is subjective, and "entertaining" is not necessarily the same as "good", but we scored a lot of goals, and even the losses tended not to be boring.
I'm not saying I want him back, but I don't understand the negativity.

Carrick didn't do well at boro. His training methods were questionable and I'm sure it was a case of jobs for the boys aswell. He simply has got what it takes to be an interim manager at Utd.
The same goes for OGS. Maguire was exceptionally poor under OGS. He simply doesn't suit a 4 at the back formation. Whenever teams played pressing football against Utd, they simply buckled. Let's not forget that Ralf Rangnick said that they were not fit enough when he took over.
Let's not fall back into bad habits and employ previous managers. They need to employ an interim whonplay football similar to the next manager that comes in. A bump less changeover must happen.
07 Jan 2026 11:18:16
I am shaking my head at so many of the comments. Amorim took a poisonous player centric culture that had built up under several managers. As much and all as I admire Ole, he was one of those. I don't understand at all why we're going straight away for interim managers rather than trying to get a manager in right now.
If we cannot get those managers then fine, but not even trying seems crazy. Surely it doesn't take 6 months to evaluate who is a good coach or not.

Don red. For our lot it probably does. Their end of season review of eth took about 6 weeks. ?♂️.
07 Jan 2026 13:16:32
DonRed,
I'd imagine that the club are potentially looking at Glasner, Tuchel, Iriaola whose contracts expire this summer. to save money and give them time to have a full pre season.
There was talk that Enrique is ready for a new challenge etc. He would be by first pick, but he was to leave PSG, he will likely end up at City. They fit like a glove.
07 Jan 2026 13:44:53
Mad Hatter, the potential cost from a lower league position is likely to be much higher than the cost to get Glasner or Iraola now. As for Enrique, unless he has clearly indicated that he wants to come to us then waiting for him seems like a fools errand.
07 Jan 2026 15:02:43
DonRed,
I would happily go for Glasner or Iraola now.
07 Jan 2026 17:41:33
Get Glasner now, don't wait. Grease the wheels of Guehi, Munoz and Wharton on the way out.
It seems so simple, yet we will buckle to the OGS 2.0 a d we will be here again in a year or two when he gets found out for being tactically inept. I would say he is only good at being a people person and not upsetting anyone, hence the player power debacle.
We need a leader, he is not a leader.
There is a video of him talking about Keane, you can see he is just in awe of him, but you can also see that he is incapable of relocating that trait.
Again, I don't dislike the guy, I was a teenager when he scored against Munich and recall dancing around like a madman. But not once did I dance around when he was manager, because he is not a manager, he relied too heavily on the say so of Fergie at the time.
