I am more than happy and we were in the 14th place last October! Also, I think Ole has done a great job to turn things round and get the right players in like Bruno Fernandes. Give him some funds to strengthen up the squad this summer and fight for the title in the next season.
Not sure where else to put this but I've had the following happen in my FIFA game
August 2019, summer transfer window, Atletico sell Griezmann to Bayern for £115m. January 2020, Bayern sell Griezmann on to Manchester City for £100m. August 2020, Manchester City sell Griezmann back to Atletico... for £59.5m.
Check out my YouTube channel! One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Champions League here we come.
I'm seeing this sentiment in a lot of places. Like Ole wasn't responsible for you being in 14th in the first place. Also there can't be many bigger spenders than United since the end of 18/19 season so the calls to 'give him some funds' seem a bit deluded.
No doubt it'll be the owners and Woodward's fault when they go on a bad run next season too.

I think something similar is about to happen in the real world....
According to this site since the end of 18/19 Man Utd have a net spend of about £122m. Now, whilst that is a lot of money, we recently established that net spend is unimportant. If you look at the arrivals during this period it looks good like good business, aside perhaps from being held to ransom over Maguire.

It's not important but in the same time period Liverpool spent £7m and won the premier league.

So that's one season then? That's quite a lot really.
Someone posted this in the comments section on the guardian website after yesterday's game.
'The guy took a club that Mourinho left in meltdown, with players like Pogba, Shaw, Fred, Martial ostracised and a huge unbalanced squad. In one full season as permanent manager he has weeded out a whole host of players, bought in only three replacements initially, then one in January, returned a certain recognisable style and drive to the team, successfully introduced young players, and with his 'keeper having a mare of a season, Pogba missing most of it, Martial missing two months then Rashford missing, when we were already short of strikers, OGS still got to two domestic cup semifinals and still in the UEFA, having claimed third place in the League.'
Pretty much sums up my feeling towards Solskaer. No one is getting carried away but he's clearly made progress this season after a poor first half of it.
United are still two or three transfer windows away from breathing down the necks of city and Liverpool. That's if they buy well. They are on an upward curve though.
After we lost 2-0 to Burnley no one would have given us a chance of finishing third. Credit where credit is due. The opinions of pessimistic reds and trolling Pool fans notwithstanding - its been a very good second half to the season for us.

It is a lot, but it's been invested well. Man Utd's first XI and squad as a whole has needed major surgery basically since Fergie retired.
