Do you think it’s because he thought - right I’ll send the team forward in the second half of the season?

He has of course but you need to ask why he didn’t before? You think it’s because he didn’t know the players he was working with. I’ll say that the players he had were not ready to play that type of football (personnel - Manquillo? and form: Diame, Perez, Ritchie, etc.)

Remember Fergie’s first few months at MU? They nearly fired him.
Correct there TopToon. The directors at Manure were all for replacing Fergie but Bobby Charlton persuaded them to give him time to get the squad in he wanted and get them playing his way.

The rest is history.
