Bring back soccer am
OGS over performed during his tenure similar to how Ferguson did towards the end of his career & people overrate that for both of them, the reality is both were lucky to get the results they did in those respective times. For Fergie the Moyes tenure showed how badly he handled the situation & how badly things were left for the next person. For OGS, his final year was showing the team’s true “colors” & they were playing to their actual limits rather than the “2nd place finish” that he was lucky to achieve.
This is the first time I could not bear to complete an episode and I refuse to watch the other one.
Nice 👏👏. United spend 600 million to win the carabao cup 😂😂
Mourinho almost made me stop watching football all together. The toxic one sucked all joy out of the club.
“Ten Hags first season was excellent” United fans really have lowered their ambition, they should be content with top 4 and a trophy but not happy and they are happy with that. In my opinion they need to keep buying young players and keep rolling the dice with managers until someone who can win them a league or UCL comes in. Like right now Tuchel is available, he might not win u a league hell he could even be sacked by next christmas but if u get top 4 and win a UCL or go far in it it’ll be an improvement. It’s worth the risk cus Ten Hag will never win a league or UCL at United i bet my life on that
Ask united fans if they’d rather win the FA cup and finish 8th or finish 2nd, domestic cups mean very little nowadays sadly especially to these top teams
the Ralf appointment was the weirdest one for me, i thought when he came in the plan was for him to identify the problems first hand as manager then they’d bring in a new manager and Ralf would move players on and get players in they needed then they parted ways at the end of the season😭 he was never gonna be a good manager but long term keeping him could’ve been better
Bruh, Solskjaers style of football was awful.
Mourinho was more successful at United, but still an awful style of football
Show them what Rangnick did in Austria. Now Austria is very strong top 10 Europe teams
SIR ALEX FERGUSON & JOSE MOURINHO & OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER & ERIK TEN HAG & DAVID MOYES
'We all know it wasn't a title winning squad he inherited' Squad he inherited won the league season before
Not a united fan but how can you blame Ten hag for the signings from the first summer and then say its nothing to do with him with the next summers signings? Makes no sense, ten hag didn't sign off £80 million on antony, he didn't negotiate that deal so how is that on him
Horrific that they have Ole so low. He was definately the best. Never been more excited post Sir Alex era. Had us playing exciting football again.
Proving once again that sky sports is the man united channel 😂😂
woooow copying pitch side xD
Number 1 thing should be trophies. Arsenal fans need to remember this.
Ten Haag is rubbish but won more trophies than Arteta and been more successful given his champions league record. 2 seasons, 1 UCL qualification. Arteta 6 seasons 2 qualifications.
These guys are absolute PRATS
1. Jose Mourinho. The best manager we had in terms of success. 2 trophies in his first year and finished 2nd the following year and a FA Cup final to boot. Unfortunately his 3rd season meltdown was around the corner and it was no exceptions.
2. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Could have easily been #1 had he won the Europa League final. Silverware had eluded him after multiple semi finals and a final. Back to back top 3 finishes and we were scoring goals for fun and had moments. His limitations as a manager was well documented and it showed near the end of the season we've finished 2nd place. His downfall came after losing to Villarreal in the Europa League final and signing Ronaldo sped up his demise and his fate was sealed after losing to Watford.
3. Erik Ten Hag aka Dr Robotnik. The only reason he's above LVG and Moyes is because of winning the FA Cup and League Cup. Other than that, he played a role in our worst ever season with an 8th place finish with a negative goal difference. Still not good enough to be above Ole and Mourinho.
4. Louis Van Gaal. A FA Cup win is what kept him above Moyes. LVG sold most of our attacking players like Kagawa, Hernandez, Van Persie, Zaha, Nani, Di Maria and completely stripped the squad to bring in dross players like Memphis, Schneiderlin, Rojo, a passed it Schweinsteiger, Darmian, Falcao and his football was so boring that you have more joy watching paint dry. He's the only manager to have a proper structure but his broken football philosophy was so predictable he refused to tweek it and his fate was sealed after failing to finish in the top 4.
5. David Moyes. Easily our worst manager by far and was out of his depth. Should have never been hired in the first place. Moyes was decent for Everton and West Ham but Manchester United was a step too far.
Ten Haag has set about 40 Man U records, including lowest ever PL league position (8th), lowest ever PL goal difference (-1), first time ever with a minus GD, Most defeats before Xmas since 1930 (13), most defeats in a PL league season (14), Finished bottom of the Champions League with Copenhagen in it, Lowest Champions League points tally ever, First team to allow Galatasaray to win on English soil in 117 years, Manchester United hadn't gone 4 games in a row without scoring in the PL until Ten Haag, He set another new record last week being the first ever Man U manager to lose by 3 goals in 3 PL gams in the last 12 months. Long may his success continue
Rory 🤦🏻♂️🤡

2. Ole
3. Ralph
4. Jose
Ole got us playing exciting football and created some of the most exciting viewing experiences as a fan, I’d definitely put him over LVG and Moyes
Ole is so underrated, I would have him back under our new structure 100%! Ronaldo came in (which was a board decision) and upset his style of play and the apple cart.
JM all the way
always man united related ffs
Wow..rory made sense?
These two clowns contradicting themselves all the way through…..a terrible watch.
Ole 1 imo
The take on Ole by both guests is completely bad. Just trophy based deductions. Doesn't look like they watched the matches. Van Gaal's time at United was way worse than Ole. Call Ten Hag rubbish but put him in second! What!?
This was honestly so bad. Patronising, uninformed (at times weird) twaddle. Fair play to Joe for his patience.
Yet you place him second. 🤣🤣🤣
I love how everyone borrows ech other's arguments to suit their own. To the point that it becomes very inconsistent in terms of judgement and valuation. Typical of these Youtuber-part time Sky opinions.
Lvg as manager was the worst time of my life…watching United play became a chore.
Rory shut up. It’s nothing to do with love for ole. Your disrespect saying your opinion doesn’t count bc of your love for ole. Nonsense
This panel should've been made up of Man Utd fans, these two clearly didn't know how to judge any of our managers. United fans were the ones watching these managers week in week out. Rory comparing Ole to Lampard? Ole was closer to Arteta than he was to Lampard
Those aren’t even United fans. Don’t talk about red tinted specs when you wear the specs mate. We watched every minute of Man Utd football since fergie has left. You have not. We are telling you we were best under ole. End of.
1. Ole

5. David
David de gea missed penalty at that for ole. He definitely does not deserve to 4th/5th no way.
Rory is just a massive bellend
Meanwhile Rory turning up in shorts 😂
1. Ten Hag
2. Ole Gunnar
3. Mourinho
4. Van Gaal
5. Ralf Ragnick
I can explain my reason:
Ralf was appointed for 6 months or so and did what he was appointed for. Pointing out the loopholes of the club and the squad. He offered solutions but we all know they were needed to carry out by a more experienced coach.
Van Gaal stabilized the club but United is not a 43 goals a season type of club. Failed with many important signings. The squad at his time still had players who could win titles but he could not get the best out of them. Yes, he could have been given more time after the FA cup win but he did not have it because his style of football did not reflect the club.
Mourinho is probably more dearly rated now than when he was our coach. He gave us 2 trophies, EFL cup and Europa League. But again, losing the dressing room and throwing players under the bus is typical of him when he starts losing. His defensive style of football again did not reflect the club philosophy (which is why I think his recruitment was a mistake in the first place. The owners did not know what type of football they expected out of the club). His boring display over a 3-1 loss to Liverpool at the back of many lacklustre losses cost him his job
Ole brought the identity of the team back. It was the first time and probably the only time the team played to its philosophy of direct attacking football. His away record is tremendous, finished in Champions League spots in both the seasons, 2nd and 3rd. Managed the club through a broken structure and never got the transfers he wanted, spending 2 years to bring in Sancho, never got a DM, wanted Haaland but did not get him. Was one penalty away from a trophy. The team did not look beatable on any day by any of the top 6 teams.
Ten Hag has taken the long route of rebuilding the team. He also has a decent share of misjudgment like bringing in Antony but the money is the failure of transfer negotiation, not him. He got us couple of trophies, the only other manager to do so after Mourinho. The difference being the style of football is yet not as boring as it was under Mourinho. The team is transitioning with a lot changing at the background. The manager can be given 1 more year (this season) to prove his metal and to declare if he indeed is the best manager post Fergie. He is just in the top spot because he has just met the stature of the other managers and have the potential to go one step further. But can he take that step, only time will tell.
Serious questions
1.Who are these people?
2. What footballing credentials do they have?
United played the best football under Ole it dont matter about trophies for me.
🤣🤣
Necessarily the G.O.A.T Manager must be Me right now, am just kidding not messing the World sport
Year 2,, where would Alex Ferguson sit on this list. People forget it took him 6 years to win the league. We finished 13th in the league during that period…
Everyone needs more time than any of these guys have had
