We should have been 3-0 at half time. 

Players are buggered. Manager has no options.

I'll start this off by saying that the whole problem with United at the minute is the ownership. They're only interested in their dividends, and as long as Ed gets that for them then they are wiping their arses with Man U branded toilet paper.

Ole is neither the problem nor the solution to what is going on.

However.....

Ole has not, overall, made the most of the situation. You say he has no options, but he rushed Pogba back who got an injury. He didn't rest Rashford, who picked up an injury. He kept McTominay on the field while he was injured. He hasn't trusted the likes of Garner, Gomes, Levitt, Ramazani, etc, which would have a) bulked the squad out, and b) either prevented or minimised the impact of the injuries. 

Some sensible comments at last.

Because you didn't make them? ;).

But not really...

Ole has not held back playing youth, why would he hold back playing the ones Rusty listed? For starters, Garner and Levitt have both been injured. Gomes won't sign a contract and at this stage obviously isn't that good. (Sure he'll improve, but unless he is literally going to change games for us he isn't worth developing)

Pogba and Rashford situation, definitely not great. But hindsight is everything. If he takes it slower on, say, Pogba's return and performances are still sharke then fans will be on his back as well.

You guys are asking for the impossible and ignoring Ole's positives. Like actually some semblance of a plan to actually turn the club in the right direction.

You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think other managers could do better with this team. Pep and Klopp wouldn't have a chance with the current squad.
