I have been observing these boards over the last few days and note that several posters on here fancy Bruno as the best player in the EPL. Before I get onto that (and why I entirely disagree), I wanted to talk about how underrated Solskjaer is as a manager.
The lesser educated dismiss him as someone on work experience and a P.E teacher, but that's just blatantly not true. How can someone who isn't good enough suddenly find his team 1 win away from being in a title race, as well as top of the group in Europe?
We all need to remember that Ole took over a broken club, a club that were not UNITED at all. Dressing room rifts, fans disengaged and board room politics were just some of the issues he faced 2 years ago. Fast forward to present day, things look up for United and that could even be an understatement!
It is often said that great managers improve their players. That's true with the likes of Guardiola, Klopp and even Mourinho. But why is it so forbidden to say the same about Solksjaer? The proof is in the pudding, right? Well if that's the case I say: Bruno, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford, McTominay, Fred, Shaw, AWB and even Matic have improved hugely since his arrival. Yet he isn't given any credit as a manager at all. Why? I think, in terms of improving players, Ole is up there with Pep + co already.
Onto Bruno Fernandes. Now and again in this world, thunder and lightning forge together into one unstoppable force; sometimes a manager and player work like magic. Like Morrissey and Marr, Ole and Bruno are a real force together. There's no doubt that United have probably been one of Europe's better sides since his arrival but only the player is credited. Why? Bruno was a good player in Lisbon, but since Ole has worked with him he's become elite. Teams are terrified of facing United once again, because of the work Ole has done in the last 2 years.
Is Bruno the best player in the league? He might've been if he signed for Spurs. But since he started working with Ole, he's been on a different type of path. A path for those who are greater than great. For me Bruno isn't JUST the best player in the league, he's the best player in the world on current form. Name someone better based on the last 3 months. I dare you.
Underrated Ole?

We all enjoy Utd playing well. If only it could happen more often.

Ole totally inept today. Helpless as he failed to stop United dropping out of the top 4.

I thought they were playing Wolves? Didn't Burnley play the acceptable face of Liverpool yesterday?

OGS after losing to Liverpool away has us win 10 and draw 2 of last 12 away league games. It is more crazy as our away record after we beat PSG with that last minute penalty went to relegation level despite dominating.

Bruno is a good player but way down the list of best midfielders in the league let alone best players

Who’s better? I’m genuinely intrigued.
He’s at worst the 2nd best AM in the league.
