Manchester United once placed their faith in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but lacked patience. Now, many fans ask: with the right backing, could Solskjaer have restored the Red Devils to glory?
In the ever-changing world of football, sometimes a single impatient decision can alter the entire history of a club. For Manchester United, the name Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still leaves a lingering sense of regret among supporters.
Solskjaer brought stability after the turbulent years following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement. He built a cohesive style of play, gave opportunities to young talents, and reignited the fighting spirit that defined United. His peak came in the 2020/21 season when United finished as Premier League runners-up and reached the Europa League final.
Yet, instead of giving Solskjaer patience and strong financial backing to shape the squad in his vision, the board “turned their back” after a poor run of results. The dismissal came too quickly, and since then, United have remained stuck in a cycle of instability with new managers who still haven’t sparked a true revival.
Now, fans can’t help but wonder: If the Red Devils had shown more patience and invested properly in Solskjaer, could Manchester United have become a formidable force in Europe again?
Because in football, success isn’t just about a coach’s talent—it also requires trust and time for a project to blossom. And Solskjaer—whose love for United runs deeper than most—perhaps deserved a longer chance to prove it.
