A THREAD:
SIR ALEX FERGUSON'S EARLY RECORD:

Sir Alex Ferguson lost his first game in charge of United and ended in 11th place that season. It also took him 4 years to win his first trophy and 7 years to win his first league title at United. What would have been if he was supposedly sacked
OLE'S WINNING RECORD UPON APPOINTMENT

When Ole took over as caretaker boss, he won his first 8 games in charge in all competitions. No United Manager has EVER achieved this
OLE'S PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD

Only 3 Managers have ever won their first 6 league games in Charge

- Ole Gunnar Solksjaer

Among the Elites
HIS FAMOUS UCL COMEBACK

On March 6th 2019, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer took his Man United side into a Champions league 2nd leg tie at PSG whilst being 2 goals down.

We ended up winning 3-1 and going through to the Quarter finals on Away goals. What are the odds
DEADWOOD

Ole has managed to remove players that weren't ready to play for United (Smalling, Ashley Young, Rojo, Lukaku, Fellaini, Darmian, Herrera and Sanchez)

Goes to show he's a manager who plans to turn the club around, without regards to who doesn't want to be here
SIGNINGS

Ole has made some Marquee signings which have suited United's game play this season.

Harry Maguire (£80m)
Aaron Wan Bissaka (£45m)
Bruno Fernandes (£65m)
Daniel James (£15m)

A Manager that knows what he wants
DOUBLE AGAINST CITY AND CHELSEA

Looking at more records, Ole is the first and only United manager to do the league double over Chelsea and Manchester city in the SAME season.

Our last league doubles against both clubs individually came in 1988 and 2010 respectively.
RECORD AGAINST BIG CLUBS

Ole has an impressive record playing against the other big clubs in England. (Manchester city, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham)

In the 15 games he has played against the clubs listed above, He was Won 9, Drawn 3 and lost only 3. Quite impressive
CLEANSHEET RECORD

Ole's United team has kept the 2nd most clean sheets in all competitions this season, amongst the teams in Europe's top 5 league. (21 Clean sheets)

A Manager with a defensive strong hold
WORKING WITH YOUTH

Ole has worked so well with the young players at United by giving them a chance in the first team and this has payed off

Rashford, Martial and Mctominay are putting up career highs in G/A while Greenwood is having an Excellent First Full Season.
FIRST FULL SEASONS

In Pep's first full season in the Premier league, he ended in 3rd place. In Klopp's first full season in the Premier league, he ended in 4th place.

It's Ole's first full season and he is currently in 5th place with the potential of finishing Higher
OLE'S PULLING POWER

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has proven that he can attract high profile names to Manchester United. Such Pulling power would be key during Transfer windows
He might not have any trophies as Manager at United yet but he's proven that he's capable of being a winner
The truth is, you may not like the Manager but the least you can do is Believe in the Manager. End of Thread
