A thread!
Ole chocked big teams with tactics n blew away others.
His games needs studying especially with McFred.
This was a perfect high-line 424 in pressing collapsed into a compact/aggressive mid block wich gave the opp no time to breathe.
Managers with style < Ole adapting.

Been obvious for a while - it's why idiots like Ten Hag and Amorim (who all pandered to the media) were given more backing and time than Ole, who deserved it infinitely more.

Shea Lacey posted a photo of him and Cunha embracing after the Roma win and wrote:
“Until the very end. Thank you Old Trafford.”
Cunha replied underneath: “It shows how much I believe in you.”
Bruno commented: “My kid.”
Then the younger lads piled in Santos with “Amazing,” Amass with hearts, the Fletcher twins with fire and stars, Dorgu with the heart-eyes.
Nine games without a win. Two down at half-time. A 19-year-old comes on, sets up the winner, and the whole dressing room immediately tells him he belongs.
That’s the bit that actually matters.

Milan lose 2-0 at home to 10-man Ferencváros and sit in the elimination zone of the UEL table with just one win in four games 😳

So he left United because he wasn't getting first team minutes at the age of 15, and is now joining Real Madrid with a star-studded attack where 20-year-old Endrick can't even get minutes?
Very smart decision.

This is Mainoo’s final form btw. Obviously not at the level yet but it’s no wonder Seedorf himself cosigns him heavy just look at the body mechanics and running style
💟 Mattias retweeted
Ole didn’t because , despite what idiots on this app think, he actually knew what a United player’s level should be. He shipped him off on loan.

Once Mainoo starts having more influence in the final third, making those runs into the box and adding goals and assists to his game, I genuinely think he'll have everything to become one of the best midfielders in the world.
💟 Mattias retweeted
One thing I really like about Mainoo since Carrick came in is how much more involved he's become in dictating games.
He's always had the press resistance, composure and ability to glide past players, but now he's adding more aggression without the ball and taking greater responsibility in midfield.
He's starting to look like someone United can genuinely build their midfield around. And he's only 21.

Correct :-)
G Neville/Fletcher right hand side had incredible record
Won 24
Drawn 4
Lost 3
77% win rate

When you think Ronaldo wore 28, and 16, and 17 for his national team, and now the Ronaldo 7 shirt is one of the most notable in history - consider that came from the brand of Best, Robson, Cantona.. crazy to think a club legacy can leave such a global imprint.

Matthijs de Ligt & Leny Yoro should be the first choice defensive pairing for Manchester United the rest of the season. It is time to transition Harry Maguire out as a starter, Lisandro Martinez shouldn't play until he leaves & Ayden Heaven will still play plenty.
It is time.

JJ Gabriel is one of the world's most exciting talents, but moving where Endrick can't get a look in while in search of first team football seems awfully contradictory.
His father will destroy his career trying to milk it for all it's worth, because his own was such a failure.
