Don't get me wrong. I've never believed Ole was good enough. Very few managers are that lucky to swap Norwegian football for Europe's big Six, let alone the Premier League. The moment he got these guys in, that was when he lost it.

Michael Carrick?
He began his coaching badges as Mourinho's assistant. A retirement gift by the United board cos he spent almost a decade as a great servant of the club. If he was good enough, probably would have been alongside José at Spurs.

These are the guys who coach a team that's got players who have won the World Cup, players who have torn it in the Champions League before.
Imagine Edinson Cavani and Donny Van de Beek walking into Carrington, what do you think went tru their minds when they saw these lot?

Every single person that helped Solskjaer relegate Cardiff in 2014 is a Manchester United staff now.

If you're not good enough as a manager. You know that you're not. You get people who have done solid things elsewhere. Sir Alex got in Carlos Quieroz who managed Real Madrid previously if I'm not mistaken as his assistant

José Mourinho had been with Rui Faria, Silvono Luoro since his days at Porto. After United, he felt they weren't contributing enough. Faria left though, before Woodward sacked him, but he didn't take any to Spurs. He got men with fresh ideas in.
Joao Sacramento became his assistant. Snapped him up from Lille. Previously he was the assistant manager to Marcelo Bielsa and Christoph Galtier for 95 games in that exciting Lille side that pushed PSG in Ligue un.
31 years old too.
