Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Stats As Manchester United Manager: 1st 100 Matches

Let’s look at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Stats As Manchester United Manager: 1st 100 Matches.

It’s almost 1.5 years now since Man Utd parted ways with Jose Mourinho, and brought in Ole Gunnar as their new manager. 

When Manchester United played against Arsenal on Sunday November 1, Solskjaer clocks 100 games as Man United head coach.

In the beginning, a lot of people wrote off Solskjaer as a clueless coach. 

Nevertheless, the boss went on to achieve milestones after milestones, securing massive victories against big clubs such as ManCity, PSG, and RB Leipzig. He guided United to play 3 semifinals during the 2019/20 season.

Here are some key statistics on Ole’s performance so far.

The Norwegian former Red Devil rose to the mantle of leadership in good fate, guiding the lads through thick and thin. 

In his first full season as manager, Ole took United back to the champions league qualification, placing 3rd on the 2019/20 EPL table.

“I’m surprised – it’s gone really quickly,” explained Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a smile, when informed that Sunday’s match against Arsenal will be his 100th as Manchester United manager.

ManUtd.com reported that the Norwegian club legend became a United caretaker boss back on 19 December 2018 and he memorably began his reign by overseeing an entertaining 5-1 win over former club Cardiff City.

That exciting first result in Wales started a morale-boosting 11-match unbeaten run across all competitions and a stunning Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain soon followed. 

Solskjaer was later unveiled as the club’s permanent manager on 28 March 2019.

In his first full season in charge, 2019/20, Ole led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League and three semi-final appearances in the League Cup, Emirates FA Cup and Europa League. 

Solskjaer is determined to win trophies this campaign and, after an inconsistent start, owing to an extremely short pre-season campaign, his Reds are beginning to find good form and fitness.

In a press conference to preview this Sunday’s league match against Arsenal, Ole looked forward to the challenge and reflected on his 99 matches as manager so far. 

“Arsenal is always going to be difficult because they are a very good team with a very good manager, who’s got some great ideas on how football should be played and I’m looking forward to it,” he said. 

“Of course, I’m surprised it’s 100 – it’s gone really quickly, even though a lot has happened. Let’s hope I can celebrate no.100 with a good performance and a win. I’ve enjoyed it so far.”

Gareth Southgate to Manchester United Doesnt’ Make Sense

Published

on

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time

The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best

The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss

Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.

ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.

People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.

Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.

SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.

How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?

More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.

Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.

It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.

Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track

Published

Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!

Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.

The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy

Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.

Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.

I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.

 

Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.

This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons

The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.

From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
