Great idea! Let's imagine what Mourinho would do with the same squad.
Oh wait, we already saw him do it and they were guaranteed top 4 and won a couple of trophies.
Solksjaer is shit. He was shit and Cardiff and hes shit now. They should be competing with Tottenham, Chelsea and Leicester for 3rd place.

I watched most of the match on BT and was listening to Rio Ferdinands post match analysis. He said the rags had been playing well for the last three or four games but they just couldn't get going today for some reason, which he could quite explain. He implied this result was just a blip, possibly a result of tiredness with the recent heavy schedule. Hopefully soon back to winning ways he suggested.Had to laugh (cringe) at the build up. Pundits banging on about them having their mojo back, coming into form, their away form superb etc.
Jesus wept, they beat partizan with a penalty, drew against the dippers with a goal that would have been chalked off if it was us, beat an abject Norwich in the course of which they were awarded two penalties, and beat Chelsea with a free kick and - you guessed it - a penalty.
They don’t score from a pen or free kick today (that’s the ref banishes to league two for the foreseeable) and, lo and behold, they draw a blank.
Wankers.
ushited were shockingly bad yesterday. Long may it continue.I watched most of the match on BT and was listening to Rio Ferdinands post match analysis.

Firstly, I thought, that's bollocks, surely, because I don't remember them playing well for the last four games. You account above seems much more accurate. And secondly I thought just what is the point in Rio ferdinand talking such bollocks. Why? Nobody believes it. Is it a case of let's pretend the rags are still great? Talk about them challenging for top four but ignore the results and show them last on MOTD so hopefully nobody notices they are actually crap.
See, a few still care! ;-)I remember the days when a Utd loss would've seen 500 posts on this thread in the following 24 hours. Nobody cares about them anymore
Scum!
And that's why they are onto their 4th manager since gpc cowardly retired. It's all about planning which they arent interested in, short term profit.Rubbish. You replace him with basically any manager with the same squad and they'd be able to do little with it. He has Jesse fucking Lingard, some rubbish Brazilian that came through their academy, and 45 year old Juan Mata as their attacking midfield options. No manager worth anything could do a job with that kind of 'talent'. As for beating Bournemouth, they were in the top half before this round so not exactly complete mugs.
I'm not saying he's a good manager - he probably isn't at the higher level he's at now. But replacing him with someone else without first addressing the number of deep issue they have in their squad, as a part of a wider structural issue at their club, will do nothing.
I watched it on Canal+ and thought just the same. Cheating c**t. Least he didn't get away with it this time.They still tried for the pens! Martial looked like The ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald had just shot him from the top of the Bournemouth Main Stand the way he went down!
