If Ole ain't gone in the next couple of days the FA surely need to investigate whether Liverpool have planted staff into the United executive team.

The MEN reporting Ole has finally been sacked.

Shame, it's been a fun few weeks.

Big Sam in there until the end of the season. Fergie will sort it. Steady the ship

I honestly dont think any other Premier League side would hire Ole. If he’s not gone in the morning I’ll be baffled.

I’d rather have Mowbray to be honest. Appointing Solksjaer in the first place was a really odd decision.

[RoverDom]

In his defence until this season he's done the best job at utd since fergie left. 3rd and 2nd place in the last two seasons. Then he got given a squad which should push on and he just looked incapable of taking them to the next level and now the wheels have come off.

I'd like Mowbray to be honest.

He’s made some really strange signings.

[K-Hod]

I feel a bit sorry for Solskjaer in some ways, as he’s been so painfully out of his depth this season.

But then, continuing to select Fred and McTominay and not use Van De Beek at all was baffling. Then Van De Beek scored yesterday, four minutes after coming on.

The number of red cards suggests a discipline problem, particularly Maguire yesterday (the fact it was two bookings in under ten minutes, I’ve not seen it yet).

It’s a big mess that needs to be sorted out in reality and I’ve no idea what manager they could or should go for now!

Remind me? I've lost track of their comings and goings. I was under the impression he'd largely built a decent squad. Using that squad effectively (leaving van de beck and sancho out for example) is a different question mind but the 25 is good isn't it?

That’s the problem, individually lots of them are good but he hasn’t created a team.

Key part from that statement that Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season. 

So they are waiting for someone till the summer like Pochettino from PSG or Ten Hag from Ajax. So want an interim manager but who available.

After the mess Manchester United was in morale wise then needed someone like him. 

But the failing to signed a top class defensive midfielder cost him and the team. Don't ever think his summer transfer plan include signing Ronaldo tbh. Also why sign Sancho and not use him until yesterday. 

[booth]

I wonder if Mowbray will be applying.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I wonder who’s next for the hot seat ? There’s no real stand out candidates that I can see.

I get the impression they only signed Ronaldo to stop him going to City. They didn’t need him the way Cavani was playing.

Well they want an interim manager for the season but I don't see a obviously choice for that. Maybe Blanc or Valverde. 

I suspect that they move a Maurico Pochettino from PSG or Ajax Erik Ten Hag

Don't ever think he was going to City. Not a Pep type player. Can't press from the front like City do

Well I thought that also but the daily papers were full of the City- Ronaldo talk.

Z Z being talked up for the job according to the BBC.

Ole sacked. A terrible appointment. Was never going to work. Totally ill-equipped to do that job. Plus the added fact he was a club legend meant they’d drag on far too long with him which of course they duly did.

[DE.]

Solskjaer overachieved relative to his experience and ability up until this season. Defeat in the Europa League final triggered a downward spiral he's been unable to halt. Ronaldo has provided some temporary relief but has also completely altered Solskjaer's original vision of how he wanted his team to play. He either wasn't strong enough to voice his opposition to the signing or simply never had enough power for his opinion to make a difference anyway. 

From Utd's point of view I don't think he should ever have been given the job permanently. A stronger boardroom would have ignored fan sentiment after the successful caretaker run, thanked Ole for his contribution and hired a manager that conformed to the club's vision of where they saw themselves going forward. I doubt United ever really had a clear vision, though, so appointing Ole was the easiest option
