Speaking about the situation at the top of the table, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Sky Sports: "We're not talking about winning titles.

"We've come a long way. We shouldn't be considered as title chasers. That's one for you [media]. We've got better as a team - let's see where we end up."

What sort of attitude is this for the manager of utd to have ffs. How much do you need to spend to be title chasers. How on earth is any utd fan confortable with this. :wacko:

cant say he was wrong tbf. what was he gonna say yeah we are gonna win the league while in the midst of throwing away points left and right

way too reliant on individual quality and the defense has been abysmal. another ridiculous goal given up in this match where it was clear big sam wanted to win 1-1

much improved from years past sure but still needs to gel as a true team unit

I think if you say a squad costing a billion quid aren't title chasers, then they'll believe it and play like it. No one would believe him if he said we were going to win the league, but make no mistake, they were challengers mere weeks ago when they were having a happy spell and he'd have been talking about it in private. He's the manager of Manchester United ffs, not Spurs, no matter what he personally believes at any point in a season is irrelevant, Manchester United talk about winning titles. The biggest team in all of England if not the entire world isn't here to make up the numbers.

Look at Klopp yesterday, they've been shite for weeks, were well beaten and the only thing people will remember from the post match interview is "muh var" "muh injuries" "muh new players". Simply because he knows that the only way that pool side will be champions is if they think like champions. That's how you get world class result records out of a team that lets face is, isn't all that.

fair enough so he should just blame var and refs and the weather? not a bad idea he’d actually have merit there what with the sheffield match that had two clear and obvious errors against utd in the post match report, everton scored their goal almost 90+6 with +4 added time, and today’s goal the scorer slaps lindeolf in the face before the header :lol:

Who cares about the numbers, rough estimate on my part, last I saw utds squad cost a total of some £600mill transfer fees, add in the value of academy players, agents fees whatever you fancy it's a fucking expensive squad, easily top 4 in the prem.

And yes, he's better off blaming whatever the hell he likes. Can't keep throwing money at problems Chelsea style and keep getting away with being mediocre. I mean fucking hell, brendan has got Leicester ticking over with the big boys with far less investments, how many Leicester players walk into utds squad man for man. Not many I'd say, maybe 3 at a push.
