You have to think as a football fan first. If it was another manager at a different team, who produced the results OGS has so far, playing the same fixtures, would you want him permanent or wait until more tests? I.e the run of fixtures we have in feb/March.
Bare in mind now even though we have bounced back somewhat, we have only had two testing games. Spurs and Arsenal (well maybe not so much arsenal haha) but they are the only top 6 we have played since OGS took over. Let's see how we do against PSG/City/Liverpool/Chelsea, all in the space of 2 months or so. We might not win them all, but if we do bag a couple of victories, or even draws in the away games, we can then see where the team is really at and where OGS has took them, and where he can take them. It's too soon to jump to decisions just because we are doing better than we have done for a while. It's effing exciting to watch now and OGS has brought back the United way, which is a massive boost. You've also got to look at the backroom staff that OGS would thrive from himself. Phelan and Carrick would be a tremendous permanent addition as they also know United through and through. Let's see where we are at come April and then a correct decision could be made. |

Third consecutive away clean sheet too. Not too shabby. If you had told people when he took over that we'd win 9 of our first 10 games, including away wins at Spurs and Arsenal, they'd have called you insane. |

I posted a couple of games back that I genuinely don't think even the club thought he would be this good. They obviously thought borrow Ole and then get Poch. Would take a brave club to send him packing if he carries on the way he is... If we beat PSG he will get it. |

If they dont give ole the job now the board will be inviting more pressure on themselves and the new manager.
If the club has a bad start or is absolutely £#%&!ed by next Christmas the narrative will be " why didnt they hire ole?, why change a happy dressing room playing attacking football??" Unless something disastrous occurs, he has sort of forced their hand. And solskjaer has won it (the job) |

People keep saying we'll learn more about him in the next few weeks. I think the main we'll see is what we already know: the limitations of the squad and that the fixtures are £#%&!ing though. He's setting us up to do as well as we can with this group and I'm sure he'll continue to do that. Where that gets us and what constitutes a success over the next few weeks, I haven't a clue. |

Fred, The Scottish Player, sanchez, dalot will need to step up when they are selected. The club has one left back, who everyweek makes me less convinced of his abilities. The club has no rb. If ole pulls it off and gets top 4 and has a decent cup run, i would be pissed if pochettino gets it. |

Can't be deciding to go for Poch once the season has finished. |

The issue he has is that some of the next few fixtures require a pragmatic approach, and he's come in with the chest thumping we're Man United, we attack style, which has worked so far. I'm not sure he will want to temper that approach v PSG and Liverpool, whereas Fergie would've done, and Mourinho definitely would.
I hope he does, because it'll show some versatility and a willingness to adapt, even if he gets a bit of stick about it in the press afterwards. Agree now that barring a massive catastrophe this month not giving it to him would invite massive pressure on the next guy and the board. Woodward has kept his head down and isnt getting the stick he was getting 6-8 weeks ago so he'll go for the easy option. Which means Solskjaer is learning on the job and will get it wrong sometimes. But he's got tons of supporter goodwill, and he's got Mickey Shorts and Ant and Dec behind him. Confident that if we accept the odd stinker, he'll do a good job all told. |

I think Ole has been better tactically than he's been given credit for. He got it spot on at Spurs, killed the game with good changes at Arsenal and Newcastle. And we saw the game out fairly well today. His reign so far has been boiled down by many as simply telling them to go out and play. Like he's some ex player and not an actual football manager with ten years experience. I think that suits him though and he's happy to have that side of things played down. |
