O/T:- Solskjaer

And just to throw a spanner in the works, ManUre defeat Villareal 0-2 and qualify for the last 16.

The reality of that though sid is that they were probably all a bit embarrassed that their collective piss poorness had resulted in Ollie losing his job so for once they pulled their finger out. it won't last as the squad has an endemic individuality built in to it that ultimately will take care of itself when they finish 7th and a lot of them get moved on ASAP.

Yeah, against a team that has won only 3 times in La Liga and sits mid table.

When will ManUre get out of the habit of returning to the past as a means of planning for the future? Any prospective manager who is worth his salt will only be put off by the presence at the club of Ronaldo. How will such a one-off fit into anybody's system? At 36, he is far too old to build a team around. Ronaldo is another example of reaching into the past as a formula for the present.
The present squad is a collection of talented individuals who have defied being moulded into a team. Solskjaer had no pedigree at achieving such a feat.
And what happened to the wonderful talent raised in the club's own nursery? It doesn't seem to be as productive these days though Greenwood would be a fantastic player in the hands of a decent coach.
The sad fact is that the club is run by money-grabbing Yanks who have no knowledge of the game or wider footballing vision. For them, ManUre is a business with a great turnover from revenue accrued across the globe. That is where ManUre's real problem lies.
OGS was simply the latest fall guy but his fall will be softened by the wad of cash at the bottom. It really will be interesting to see who bites this bullet.

Sounds perfect for the owners of the club, football to owners is a business, there aim is to make money, how they do this may not be what supporters think is the best thing
In Man utd case the supporters are not happy, they have not won the premier fsince 2013, but the owners are happy as turnover and profits have increased through their global activities
