He'll likely double his wages and will play in proper footy stadiums full of fans instead of half empty athletics stadiums. The league is competitive too, unlike in Italy where Juventus always win it. Edited January 10, 2019 by champers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I go on? He may not join in Jan, but the chances look quite promising for Jan or the summer. Pogba supported him during the racism incident by wearing sweatband with 'NO' inscribed on it the next match. Koulibaly commented on a Pogba instagtam post with the message 'see you soon bro'. So it looks like happening I'm afraid Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, We need one but my take is the owners will not fund Ole and will fund the new manager who comes in, I hope Ole gets the job full-time but I think the board have already chosen a manager but did not expect Ole to do so good.

BangrakBob Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Maybe I should have put an emphasis on January. You all have fair points but you don’t even have a manager. As much as players like money, you’ve got <deleted> all else to offer right now. Prestige, full stadiums....???? you do realise you are talking about the second best centre half in Europe he could get your money elsewhere with a top manager and at a club that could guarantee CL football. Going out against PSG and playing Europa next season probably not a big pull under Ole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's hard to know what their plan is. Whether they are actually open to giving it to Ole, or if they have already decided on a new boss. January isn't the best time to blend a new centre back into the team, but if not we will be kicking ourselves every time Jones / Smalling / Bailly messes up in the second half of the season. I say go for it... a player like Koulibaly must offer some improvement, and although Lindelof has improved a lot we are still good for conceding a goal. Having said that... 2 in 2 clean sheets, and as Ole said, only one goal conceded not from a set piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if there were a reason that would be it. Money would not force a january exit and i also think that a shrewd manager like Carlo Ancellotti would be right on this one.

ChipButty Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Mark Lawrenson reckons Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to fail his first real test as Manchester United manager at Wembley on Sunday. Solskjaer has won his first five matches since taking over at Old Trafford as interim manager following Jose Mourinho's sacking in December. And Lawrenson says it will be interesting to see how the Norwegian reacts to Spurs' approach, which is likely to be vastly different to Cardiff, Huddersfield et al. He says the familiarity of Tottenham under Mauricio Pochettino should see them through, predicting a 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this game from all angles I think I would have to give the edge to United because of one word. Unpredictability. Tottenham have only 5 matches of film to watch heading into the game. As it’s been clearly stated by about 3/4 of the world, United haven’t played any teams of real concern. I think Ole goes into this game with the same but just different enough game plan that will catch Tottenham off guard at first. It’s definitely going to be a heck of a match but I think the unpredictability will allow United to win late on. 3-2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
