The table doesn't point to anything. Anyone who followed proceedings that time will know that Mou prioritized the UEL because he couldn't risk fighting on a fronts and losing out ultimately...


patrickmuf:
The league and UEL...

He drew too many games (15 in total). He wasn’t going to make top 4.

In April, Mourinho said he would prioritize Turopa league over top 4. We’d just beaten Burnley 2-0 and There was still enough games to get into top 4.

But results hadn’t been good and we had upcoming games against City, Arsenal and Tottenham (all which he lost, cept for draw vs City) so he decided to prioritize Yuropa.

We were never on course for a top 4 finish. Mou took a bet on the easiest route based on the current situation and he was lucky enough to clinch the Yuropa. Don’t make it seem as if he prioritized a trophy and let go of top 4. Top 4 wasn’t within his grasp in the first place.

Top 5 seasons under SAF? You know them already, so no need...

Which one is yeye trophies? When they list trophies won by clubs, do they exclude the community shield, Caraboa Cup, FA Cup and UEL? It may not be as prestigious (The FA Cup is though) but certainly it's a trophy...

As I replied handele.x, this is Manchester United, we hold our coaches to high standards. Semi final appearances is nothing to be proud of and it doesn't in any way placate the fans. Nothing beats winning trophies...
Don't know what is so hard to grasp about the bolded.

We had Fergie who set those high bars. Anyone who didn't meet up was cast aside.
Ole Gonna Bottle should have been sacked long ago.
He's underwhelming underperformed and has come NOWHERE near those standards.

I don’t.

You should just list SAF’s top 5 seasons and the semi finals he bottled instead of beating about the bush.

Lwkm wan kee me shaa, we are Manchester United, we don't want mediocrity grin
We should be fighting for the top trophies...

Close to a decade now, we've managed 2nd once in the EPL, if Ole manages and finishes 2nd this term, it'll only be a 2nd time in close to ten yrs.

What of the CL, we managed 2 QF appearances, one under Moyes and one under Ole. We never smell semis close to a decade now.

What of domestic cups, we managed 1FA cup and 1 Carabao Cup respectively in over 8yrs. How many times have we made the semis in the last 8yrs in those?

Kudos to Mourinho for winning Europa but that's our biggest trophy since Fergie retired. So much for a club of our status.

But Ole is the beginning and the ending of our problems as a club.

Hmmm.

It’s interesting when you put it this way.

Almighty Man Utd that hasn’t been in a title race for a decade , except the current season, which some term the worst!

No at all, but there are underlying issues why all these keep reoccurring, Ole is not the primary cause.

They can’t go back to De Gea because he’s a foreigner and British interest must come first.

If the replacement isn’t better than the original, why is it a replacement in the first place?

The way Henderson made himself look so small for the 4th goal tells me he’s not ready yet for the big leagues.

He was practically begging Salah to put the ball into the far post.

It was so amateurish. I have seen Sunday league goalkeepers with better positional sense.

My gee forget Keane.

Someone who bolted out of the Ireland camp in Japan over Sushi and hotel spa services at Irekands first world cup in a generation is the one telling United what to do.
He was a great captain for us but his choices are the reason he ended up booted out of the club unceremoniously.
Of course he does have his points as per criticism but he will always be bitter towards United in his analysis.

They shunted Henderson into the #1 goalie position on nothing but pure emotional blackmail at the beginning of the season when it was clear both couldn't be #1.De Gea beats Henderson even if he's asleep on the goal line while the game goes on.

The injuries forced him to prioritize Europa. United had too many injuries around April and it was almost impossible to give it all in the league and in Europa at the same time.

If United weren’t in Europa that year, Mourinho would have made top 4 but the injuries were becoming ridiculous.

Ole isn't fit to be United manager even in his wettest dream.

Because other high profile managers failed before him is not an excuse or reason to keep him indefinitely in his so called rebuilding.
Especially one where he doesn't appear to have an idea of where and how his side is progressing
Especially when you see how many infantile and juvenile blunders he has made in nearly 3 years at the helm.
Blowing chances to move the club forward on the pitch.

Look at the comical defending yesterday and ask what he's been doing in the training ground.

Well credit to an unfit manager that has managed to secure top 4 finishes in consecutive seasons that the other high profile managers b4 him couldn't. He could even add a trophy to it who knows.

It’s the pressure from fans and British press. They all want Utd to preserve her DNA. Hire a British manager, give him enough time so we can see long term success. They have forgotten that football is not the same again (like in the 80s and 90s).
If they want success they shouldn't blow to media pressure and all. United is too concerned about PR and how they look in the media than actual success.

Well continue to screw their finances. They will screw the club for you. Where will they get funds to buy players and run the club? Meanwhile, if you think that they will sell for peanuts, you are on your own.
That's the only way to hurt them besides the Glazers aren't interested in selling the club.

At least he was truthful and he knew winning the uel qualifies him for the UCL ..unlike ole gollum when we were 14 pts behind, decides we are in the title race.

What is top 4 finish without titles? Didn't we used to mock Arsenal for that approach?

The sad thing as at today utd fans see top 4 as gold and feel there should be no reason to blame the manager. Today's reality, man utd is not big team anymore

He noted that they were still enough games to make top 4 why is true but Mou prioritized the UEL, everything was carefully plotted and he achieved his aim. If we didn't have the UEL route, he would have fought for top 4 and I am quite sure the probability of us making it would have been higher...
