He was their short-term solution and managed to get great initial results. They rewarded him with a 3-year contract after that and now they are paying for his inexperience.
But, to be honest, I think Solskjaer is not the problem. He's not a manager for United, but he's managing well with what he's got. Woodward is the big problem there and I'm fascinated that he's still keeping his position.
Long may it continue!
People has been criticizing Woodward for years but he still keeps his position. To be honest, Im not even shocked with the result today. It feels this is kinda classic Manchester United's game where they flop against team like crystal palace in their first game of the season . Crystal Palace now 'seems' like a solid team after getting 2 wins in a row lol !
Meanwhile Arsenal won the game, all today's game ended with favourites to win the game except for Manchester United
@arallmuus I knew we were going to loose this game badly the moment I saw the team sheet, because he played two fringe player’s (Fosu-Mensah and James) instead of starting Greenwood and Van De Beek or Matic. Also in my opinion Solskjaer has surrendered to the board, and he only keeps saying things to keep them in good light, but if Sancho and a defender yet comes then this season can yet be saved.
Those concerns would have intensified on Saturday night just before United's belated start when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Dan James, whose form plummeted in the final third of last season
