Roy said back in 2019: "These are the same players that threw Mourinho under the bus and they will exactly the same to Ole". Roy knew all along what would happen.

Jose mourinho explaining the difference between united and Liverpool a day before getting sacked

"Robertson is fantastic. I'm still tired from watching him run. Then . Mane. Salah. Keita They are physical players. On the top of that they are good players technically I also have good players technically in my team but we don't have many players with that level of intensity so when the game is high level of intensity for us it becomes difficult.
Then united has a massive problem with football identity since 5 years. For example You can compare my porto team with Liverpool. It's basically the same identity. It was my best team in defensive transition we lose the ball we BITE like mad dogs and we recover the ball after 2 seconds.
In inter milan I had my best team in a defensive low block.
In real madrid I had my best team in direct counter attack with young ozil. Young di maria. Young Ronaldo and young benzema we killed everybody in offensive transition so players make team play in different ways but at united it's very difficult to get any specific system through to some people and that's a mentality problem "

One thing Rangnick will definitely do is get them working extremely hard to increase their fitness levels which were shocking under Ole.

United have a brilliant squad on paper. But football isn’t played on paper. Keane is correct, United lack characters, hunger, leadership, mental strength when it’s going against you. Without the ball they are awful. With the ball they can’t keep it, dominate or dictate play from midfield. They have relied on an individual like Ronaldo to dig them out. No pattern of play. No collective with or without the ball.

Finally a manager who has a clear game plan & vision, please give him a chance. Those statistics are very very impressive.

I feel like Keane holds back a lot of what he wants to really say.

A lot of United players will be in trouble with Rangnick. Looking forward to it honestly.

Had to stop himself saying the top 3 a "brilliantly coached" first of all.... blaming players work ethic is lazy. Top coaches will drill their players to work hard, and if they don't those players don't make it. Roy and Gary will never say it how it was regarding Ole and his coaches. Scholes is the only one speaking truth!

I speak for everybody when i say " I m here for Roy Keane "

Jimmy is correct. We've got to stick with it. It's most likely going to be painful in the beginning but we've got to stick with it because it's a clear plan, an ethos. These things generally aren't implemented overnight.

Problem is Keane and Neville looked at the Ole situation through rose tinted glasses. He was their mate first and Manchester United manager second. If it was anyone else they would have thrown him under the bus a long time ago.

The players didn’t work hard under Lampard, the same players worked hard under Tuchel… it’s not the players, it’s the manager who gets his team to work hard.

[neilg]

One of the main problems with united is we don't ever get rid of anyone deemed surplus to requirements, so the players that aren't performing know they can probably outlast the manager and just carry on doing what they want.

[skidanreal]

Those stats per game are shocking, it proves that Ole was just too nice, and last guys finish last, that's why he got relegated with Cardiff.

[Pressplayboy]

I love how rangnick thinks very highly on situations and how they react to them. Those “situations” are the little battles you have to win in these games to ultimately come out on top.

If it’s always the players fault and never the managers fault like these clowns are claiming then why are clubs even hiring managers and coaches in the first place?
