Leggy - since you think he's inexperienced at "this level" because he "rushed players back" - do you think 12 months managing a premier league team would somehow wisen him up to the fact that you quite often can't rush injured players back?

Or do you think, given Ole has spent several years managing professional senior sides, there's perhaps a scenario or piece of information in the decision making process that you've not yet thought about as to why he would choose to play those players?

Further who do you think would recognise when it's right to return players from injury better - Ole Gunnar, Mike Phelan, and Michael Carrick, or Manchester Evening News?

This idea that he's inexperienced is just English media hogwash. If it was up to the press Pep Guardiola never would have been given a chance a Barcelona right at the start of his career.

The best example of this is Real Madrid, who despite appointing very experienced managers have gone back to the ex-player whose first gig was at the club itself. Turns out things like culture and footballing values are more important that a bumper CV.

It is not my opinion that he is inexperienced at this level, it is a fact. How many weeks has he been an EPL manager? MU is slightly different than some Norwegian club.I  mentioned the fans comments in the MEN, not the newspaper. I'm not anti Ole but I'm also not fawning over him like the media.
