United's win rate under Solskjaer as permanent manager. 3 wins in 14 games. Still early days, but...
Why do people think this? Hes not calling those shots...I do think he’s doing the right thing in clearing the decks but I think he’s put way to much faith in the youth.

Then Ole takes blame for a bad summer where we didn't add anywhere near enough.We don’t know who’s calling the shots we have to assume it’s the manager who’s telling Woodward who to buy and sell that’s how it works here. Woodward might go and make the deal to buy or sell with other clubs but it’s Ole who’s shaping the squad.
On the flip side is the right kind of player isn’t available then should we buy for the sake of buying? If the first targets don’t want to come or the clubs won’t sell then that’s not really the managers fault. Granted you should have a plan b but he seems to have a faith in youth so this is the hand we’ve been dealt. It’s not great that we didn’t add much attacking wise but our signings look bang on right now - just hasn’t been enough of them.Then Ole takes blame for a bad summer where we didn't add anywhere near enough.

Call me cruel here but, the guys in charge of appointing Ole did so because the results couldn't be argued with.That’s why he was an interim the club should have stuck to the plan and judged him on 6 months not 6 weeks but they panicked and decided he was the man.
I think the results will be bad but I do think he’s doing the right thing in clearing the decks but I think he’s put way to much faith in the youth.
He should have got more players in this summer reinforcements were needed in midfield and attack.

They appointed him in perfect timing as getting another manager in was more work and more money, and they have the reassurance that fans wont turn on him if results start going south - which they inevitably will do, and only time will tell who turns on the manager, I think a few already have.
I would argue that this team needs to add players to get us back to top 4 and then players at the next level to push for the title eventually.On the flip side is the right kind of player isn’t available then should we buy for the sake of buying?

Simply not good enough. That's without doubt relegation form.17 points in 15 games since he was appointed permanent manager.
Spot on. People talk about giving Ole time just like they did every previous manager after Fergie. You don't give time to the wrong man and so far Ole has done nothing to suggest he's the right man.Time given to the right person is vital time given to the wrong person could be a disaster.
People say Klopp & Pep had time before they delivered which is true but things didn't exactly get worse before they got better and there was obvious signs of what they wanted to do.
Why would any United fan be happy? The results are dire, the performances are dross and it's much the same from last year.I was talking to an Arsenal season ticket holder yesterday about this and he was shocked to hear people were calling for Ole’s Head. Though was very much a part of the Wenger In crowd. He said looking on he’d assumed United fans would be happy with the signings made this summer and feel a sense the club was starting to get back to itself and that he thought it was obvious it wasn’t going to be an overnight transition in to a great side again.
Had the Arsenal fan seen any of United’s performances?

There are no positives on a team who sit 10th in the table and deservedly so. A team that plays dull dross football. This team, this club deserve zero credit.There are certainly a few positives to take. Our 3 signings from the summer all look very impressive. The club looked to have changed mentalities towards transfers. They allowed players that don’t have the club ethos to move on and cut their losses. But we’ve all always said a manager needs 3/4 transfer windows to stamp their mark on a squad that is short of quality.
