Conte such an odd fit for that squad. Zidane dont want it. Ten Hag aint leaving mid season.

How do we think Conte lines up with his 352?

DDG
Lindelof - Varane - McGuire
AWB - McTom - DVB - Pogba - Telles
Rashford - Ronaldo

Pretty close except for Telles and Shaw. Most likely Bruno over VDB

#mufc players kept behind longer than usual at Old Trafford after Liverpool defeat. Senior figures mulling over whether to dismiss Solskjaer and players baffled by his selections. Conte is open to taking United manager’s role

Bruno in the Pirlo role? cant see that.

We're basically continuing the cycle of mistakes by picking up Conte.

#mufc have chosen Antonio Conte. First contacts have already been made. Conte has already given his willingness to join United. Conte is convinced he can do well with the team available right away #mulive [@DiMarzio]

Have you seen Bruno's pass completion? No thank you.

I’m not saying in terms of roles I meant personnel!

Solskjær fears his time in charge may be coming to an end. Following a day of deafening silence at #mufc, sources emerged to offer him lukewarm support more than 24 hours after the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool #mulive [@ChrisWheelerDM]

Sources have stressed the need to pull together and move on from the loss to Liverpool, adding that there is nothing to say Solskjær won't still be in charge when United play Tottenham on Saturday #mulive [@ChrisWheelerDM]

He used the 4-3-3 at Juventus and 343 at Chelsea and was known there for altering his formations to fit his players’ skill set.

The myth that Conte is stuck to a single formation like Prometheus to his rock needs to stop.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under huge pressure. Stark assessments with squad expected at Carrington today in planning for Spurs game. Major issues over players losing faith. Antonio Conte wants #MUFC job. More board meetings today. Full details @TheAthleticUK

Solskjaer told he’s safe for now but Manchester United’s squad is confused and divided

‘Confused and divided’’ ….. They all want to grow a pair and take responsibility for their own ineptitude.

If they can’t stand up and sort things out for themselves on the pitch, regardless of the divvy on the sidelines, then they shouldn’t be at Utd. Simple as.

Maguire for one should be stripped of the captaincy. His response after the game was about as cringe as I’ve ever seen. A 5-year-old would have shown more leadership and taken more responsibility.

The culture is abysmal and that starts from yourself as much as anything. Solkjaers just enabled it as he’s a soft **** ‘yes’ man. And the players gave disgracefully taken advantage. Now they are swerving responsibility to hang him out to dry.

Solksjaers a convenience to hide behind.

The players should be looking HARD in the mirror at themselves after Sunday's historical humiliation.

@Legend Incredible

I realise your complete misunderstanding over Edwards and recruitment now.

He’s been at the club a decade in differing roles. (Time flys. I hadn’t realised it had been so long.). But he didn’t get the SD gig to be able to implement the top notch system he was at the forefront of devising we use until 2016 as part of the whole club structure and ownership ethos completely changing after they went all in on Klopp.

Ouch!!

" Solskjaer asked his team for their thoughts on the issues causing United to leak chances week after week. More than one concluded that the answer was the man posing the question."

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Suffer the most humiliating defeat in Utd's history to your bitterest rivals ..... No worries Ole mate. As you were.

This is your club in 2021 under the Glazers boys. A complete and utter laughing stock.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expected to stay at Man Utd despite 5-0 Liverpool defeat

Solskjaer called the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool his darkest day as Manchester United manager; the immediate focus is now on improving, though some players doubt he can deliver success at Old Trafford; Uniteds next match at Tottenham is live on Sky Sports on Saturday - kick-off 5.30pm

He will be gone by after the City match

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Next seasons City match?

@samuelluckhurst
Still no outright clarity from #mufc on manager's future. As it stands, Solskjaer expected at Carrington today. Some players have already arrived. Not a good look that the co-chairman has been busy trying to buy a cricket club in Dubai while the house is on fire in Manchester.
