If Pochettino came in and got Manchester United 3rd with two of his frontmen missing through injury, an 18 year old leading the line, Pogba missing for half the season, no midfield and a board with the competence of a wet dishcloth you’d all be calling him a top manager. Fact.

This argument goes around and around but if you are going to rightly praise Mourinho for getting United 2nd to City you’ve got to praise Solskjaer for having us 3rd with the same limitations and squeezing the absolute maximum he could out of what he had. Anything less is wrong.

I’m entirely sick of the narrative against Solskjaer. Within anyone’s rights to criticise him for performance v Spurs - he’s the manager and ultimately responsible but to rewrite the job he has done is irresponsible, lazy and downright inaccurate.

So we haven’t started the season very well and performances have been pretty lethargic and poor. And? He gets three league games and you all jump on it as your opportunity to sack him? I’m sorry, but that’s pathetic.

I’m excited to see Telles bursting down the wing and for the experience Cavani can bring to our young forward line, to see what Pellistri is all about, to see how we sort out defence and what role Shaw will now play, to see Pogba hit form and the energy of vdb and fernandes.

I’m excited to see how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sorts Manchester United out and how (yet again) he rises to the challenge of proving the whole damn lot of you wrong
