Nobody Expected Ole To Fix Manchester United Overnight – Ferdinand

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has said he does not feel the club would be naive enough to think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can make United great again overnight.

He feels those in charge of the club will do all they can to give the manager from Norway time to turn things around.

Manchester United are experiencing their worst start to a season in 30 years and go into the international break having won just twice this season, sitting in 12th place and just two points above the relegation zone.

It is not the kind of result Ole or the fans want, but Ferdinand believes the manager will eventually get things right.

His words, “There’s no way the club would have thought this would be rosy straight away, they’re not naive enough to think that it was going to be a situation where he just changes it overnight,”

“This is definitely something where there is going to be early pain, there is going to be a situation where the results are not going to go our way, especially with the new recruitment that they’ve started to go with younger players.

“That’s why I don’t see there being a change straight away, I’d be very surprised if I wake up, open a paper or an app and see that he has gone so quickly.”

“They’ve got some good young ones, I don’t think they expected what they have got from Daniel James so early, he’s been very good and probably their most influential so far,”

“What does that say about the squad? When you’re buying someone from Swansea who was probably brought as someone who could flourish at a later date, who has now been forced into the forefront as the main man in the team at the moment.

“That says where United are at this minute and I think time is something that is needed. It’s not afforded to too many people in the game at the moment.

“Ole probably needs another window to get more people in, shuffle the pack and get more out, then you can really start to judge him on that.”
