Let’s begin with a classic.
"Ole's at the wheel, man -- he's doing his thing. Man United are back!"

Hargreaves on Ole’s interim tenure. His opinion based on 10 football matches btw.
'I think it's his job. The reason it hasn't been given to him already is probably because they want to wait until the season finishes. Pogba looks like one of the best players in the world.'

Scholes After the 0-2 defeat vs Burnley
“That performance tonight might do him a favour in the transfer market. It might spur the club on to spend that few extra million on the players”
Surely the squad was enough to beat Burnley, even without Bruno.

Rio on recent results (Jan 2020)
“I will give him a bit of backing in one sense, he has a lot of injuries to big players.”
Shamelessly blaming injuries for poor results.

Phil Neville asking for time based on energy and youth
“There’s bits I see from them that I think, ‘They’re heading in the right direction’. The youth side, the energy around the place. It’s just that lack of quality. It’s a massive concern. I think they’ve got to stick with him”

Roy Keane blaming the club for transfers, after Ole publicly stated he was in charge of the coming and goings. Which one is it?
“I’ll make the point, the recruitment wasn’t up to it. That can’t be down to Ole, who’s bringing in the players? Your guess is as good as mine.”

One specially terrible from Fletcher 
“I think there is a change in the culture behind the scenes which is hard for fans to realise. I think he’s the right man for the job. It’s an audition for the players on whether they are going to be a part of Solskjaer’s Manchester United”

Ryan Giggs blaming transfers and recommending terrible players as per
“He’s probably a couple of players short in actually changing that way of playing. They are missing a Grealish, a Maddison, a player like that really that could unlock the door.”

Peter Schmeichel comparing Pep’s arrival to Ole, embarrassing.
“He has changed that team a lot and it has taken him time to get to that point. Now, Ole’s starting point was nowhere near what Guardiola came into Manchester City with.”

Bryan Robson exposing his mental illness
“Is Ole safe? They said they would give him time. The good thing with Ole is that the fans are right behind him as well. I believe three years is the time when you make the decision on whether your manager is doing well.”

Neville blames the owners but not his pal for signing terrible players
“I can’t change the ownership of United, no one can. I’m struggling to understand why the ownership have persisted in trusting that management team to oversee the building of a team”

Rio covering up for Ole
‘People will criticise the manager ‘cos he’s the one who picks the team but there’s nothing the manager can do about a goalkeeping error like the one from De Gea”

Rio on Poch rumours.
“It’s a bit disrespectful on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, if I’m honest.
A bit odd considering he was part of the witch hunt asking for Jose’s head

Scholes on Ole’s decision to leave Fred resulting in a red card vs PSG.
‘I can understand why Ole hasn’t taken Fred off,’ Scholes told BT Sport. ‘The last 35 minutes of that first half, United were excellent.”

The ginger blaming DDG for that RBL goal instead of Maguire (one of Ole’s signings) or his pathetic tactics
"He bottles it. He's scared of getting himself hurt. As a goalkeeper make yourself as big as possible. He actually makes himself smaller."

Rio asking for consistency after +100 games with Ole in charge. 
'I think Manchester United need to have a plan, a strategy of playing consistently, so that players can start to build relationships based off of memory.’

Gary Glazer praising desire over ability.
"Are they the best group of United players that have been here in the last eight years? No, not for a talent. But they're a far easier group to like because they want to be here."

Keane already making excuses for Ole’s eventual sacking:
"Ole will lose his job working with these players - that's what is going to happen."

Rio covering up for Ole, blaming players. I thought the manager had to improve players and it was his fault if they didn’t perform.
“It’s not just about Ole on the sidelines, or Mike Phelan or Michael Carrick talking on the sidelines, but sometimes you need a player,”

Peter Schmeichel begging the club not to sack his pal 
‘Do we have progress at the club? I think yes” “I think there are still issues with players who were there when Ole arrived and it’s going to take time to get all of them out of the club.” 1/2
‘Do we have progress at the club? I think yes” “I think there are still issues with players who were there when Ole arrived and it’s going to take time to get all of them out of the club.” 1/2
“Let’s get a good run in the Europa League and get these young players more experience and then see where it takes us next year. But I see no point in changing the coach.” 2/2
Scholes would rather blame Brexit than Ole 
‘The players look like their minds were elsewhere tonight. Maybe it’s the whole uncertainty over Brexit? The customs union, the ‘Back Stop’. It’s keeping me awake at night anyway. That’s for sure’.

Finally, the Neville brothers claiming there’s “an awful narrative where the minute United lose a game it seems like a disaster” and Ole’s victim of a “witch-hunt” that will get him sacked. Not his dreadful performances or lack of trophies but an agenda. https://twitter.com/5liveSport/status/1336439160903753735?s=20
