1. Mourinho 2. LVG 3. Ole 4. Ragnick 5. Moyes

Jose > Ole > LVG > Moyes > Rangnick (not necessarily Ralf's fault). To be fair all of these managers got massively undermined by the board.

Utd won the 99 CL on a flick of the foot, the 2008 CL on a penalty kick. That absolutely changes the way Utd were seen, those small moments make careers and break careers. So to try and downplay it doesn't really make sense.

Ole was my favourite but Jose is the best.

Fun part is, if you take the best parts from Mourinho, OGS and LVG you have a perfect manager. LVG had a clear system and developed youth, OGS was great at chemistry and unity of the club, and Mourinho had the winning mentality and title experience.

Jose Mourinho. 2 trophies, highest points tally post Fergie, told you all about certain players and issues behind the scenes at the club. Got thrown under the bus by the club and fans.

If Ole has been the best manager since Fergie, then you lot should stop blaming the Glazers for not investing to win trophies.

No way they’ve put ole above mourinho 🤦‍♂️

Ole did a lot right. Gave us some of the best football since SAF. Too bad it didn't work out. Always a legend though.

Disrespect jose gets is unreal

How can you say that Ole, who didn't win a single trophy, didn't develop a single player, and left us an embarrasment, is the greatest manager since Alex Ferguson?

The three answers given for Jose could pretty well sum up his three seasons

Fair play to Jay for being the only one with common sense here. It comes as no surprise whatsoever that Ste and Joe went with Ole. The manager who won fuckawl. The manager who spent 150m on Harry Maguire, Wan Bissaka and Dan James. The manager who went years without signing a fucking central midfielder and was happy with Mcfred. The manager who embaressed United 5-0 at home to Liverpool and was smiling in the post match interview afterwards. Let it go lads

Jose by far, and now is being proven right about multiple things.

Mourihnio as disaster is a horror take most trophies respext back on the club for a period of time you can talk abou expectation but the team we had was still inferior compared to city

Jose was the best out of them hands down

Ole Paddock at it again, best since Fergie. Someone label this a comedy channel please.

Lol no prizes for guessing who’s coming first here 😂 even though Jose is the obvious answer

I'd say 'Diasaster' is taking us to 11th and 13th two seasons in a row, after 4 seasons in charge. But of course a cup final then happened...

So your telling you have put a guy that signed Harry maguire and wan bissaka and got us battered 5-0 by our biggest rivals top but a person who won us 3 trophies in restored pride Lmaaooo that’s just blatant stupidity

How the hell is a guy who only managed Molde before United and also proved he was out of his depth, not out of his depth?

Ole and Jose were both sold out by sections of their players and it ultimately cost both of them their jobs. Whilst both situations were a disgrace on the part of the players, the key difference was that Jose was publicly calling them out in the media whereas Ole protected them, perhaps naively at times. The betrayal of Ole was a far bigger disgrace on the part of the players.

Mourinho had the best results Van Gaal had the vision and actually coached us Ole brought the unity and the memories briefly Overall the only one I regret giving up on was LvG. I felt the club misunderstood him. Teaching the players how to control and manage a game in possession would always have some teething problems. Especially with so many injuries.

Ole did his best playing on the counter with no fans in the ground, once he got found out it was over, no plan B.

Ste definitely has something against Jose

Jose brought a bounce back to Old Trafford. The atmosphere inside the stadium was lifted because of Jose. Walking in singing woke up this morning feeling fine and then on the run up to Stockholm singing thousands of reds. It ended badly but he definitely brought some good times.

Permanent mangers ranked imo - Jose - LVG - Ole - Moyes

Greatest since Fergie and never won a single trophy, bottled semi finals and finals, bought some of the worst players that are still at the club to this day and set us back years...... these lot are mad

The Truth is if Ole name was Rodger Bennett for example and had no association to the history of Manchester United then the panel would say he was a disaster, and because of this bias this is the reason the club is going down. Listen to what Zlatan said in his recent interview with Gabe Marcotti on ESPN

When Rooney started his career, A LOT of people thought he would make a good midfielder as he got older. How can you call it a strange decision from LVG?

With LVG he played a decent game until that 5-3 loss to Leicester. He tried to make the team more defensively solid. I agree with Ste, I'd have liked to see a 3rd season to see if he tried to build on the defensive base he built.

The absolute bias by ste. Jose won against juve not playing the united way, ole won the same way against psg and best thing since sliced bread! No one has come even close to 85 points since 😂

1. Mourinho - Board never backed him. 2. Van Gaal - Board never backed him. His style wasn't the most exciting, but was the best after JM. 3. Rangnick - Was never brought in for managerial record, was left with the worst toxic squad to deal with. He needs to have power to make changes behind the scenes. . . . . 4. Moyes - Never Should have been appointed. No experience with a big team, style of football did not fit team left by SAF. . . . . 5.Ole - Never should have been given permanent role, with his only experience getting Cardiff relegated. Completely out of his depth and created the most toxic squad the club has ever had, will take a long time to clear up. Worst signings of all time.

Ste actually said Jose always wins league titles when he's backed properly which is true. But the board refused to sign any centre backs or full backs that he wanted after finishing second

David Moyes brought a mid table mentality with him to United and that didn't go well. Ferdinand talked about the video meetings Moyes would have in which he spent time showing how to stop the other team. Ferdinand said at United they didn't worry about the other teams they let the other teams worry about them. LVG needed more time and better veteran players. He was always willing to give youth a chance and he brought a possession style to United. Attack, Attack, Attack was never part of his philosophy of football. Jose was Moyes with a better mentality. His style was/is always to disrupt the other team and nick a goal or two. He would prefer winning 1-0 than 5-4. If he had star players he relied on their quality to score but he had no clue about offensive football and that was an assessment from some of his former players like Hazard. OGS was the best of the lot because he understood the culture and the philosophy of Manchester United. He set the tempo at the club and by all accounts the place was a better place to work than under Jose. His players genuinely liked him but they didn't fear him in anyway. I would venture to guess they didn't respect him as a Manager because he was too easy and protective of them. And that's the reason for where they are now. OGS never held them accountable. He was more a rah rah type of Manager and that only works for awhile. When it was time to kick some them in their ass, he never did that. He never tested their character and as a result when it went bad, it went very, very, very bad.

Jose closed shop cause he knew how weak the defencive side of the midfiled and defence is. It's Woodwards fault. Kept signing attackers rather then the gritty grinding players

Moyes - Disaster but 90% of managers would have failed we should have appointed Jose or Ancelotti or Guardiola then. Giggs - did okay and stabilised the squad in the few games he had Van Gaal - probably the only one to bring a style of play and bigger ideas but the football was dire too many draws and boring games so he restored pride and set up the squad for the next guy and won the FA cup. Mourinho - best since SAF in terms of trophies but he left the squad in a terrible state and sent the club backwards. Ole - probably the actual best since SAF in terms of overall quality, got the squad into the best shape since SAF left and most exciting football just unlucky in some cup competitions and should have had a trophy to his name. Carrick - same as Giggs but better. Rangnick- disaster, worst season in our PL history, but I don’t blame Rangnick for it and I think the issues identified under him will benefit Ten Hag and the long term future of the club.

A percentage of this squad are a disgrace, despite Ole protecting them they threw him under the bus. I blame Woodward, the minute he started to put players above managers he created this atmosphere. Look at Rio, the second Sir Alex retired he came out and had a go because Moyse banned chips from the canteen. Fergie would have booted him out the club for even questioning one of his decisions but no within 7 months Moyse was booted out. I'm not saying Moyse should have got longer but that was the start of players thinking they were bigger than the club.

For me, I'd put David Moyes under 'Out of his Depth' and 'Needed More Time' He wasn't just replacing Sir Alex and taking over Man United but taking over the current Champions. That 1st Season was so Topsy-turvy but I would've liked to see what his 2nd Season would've looked like. Also he missed out on Bale and Kroos

Jose has been our best manager since Fergie. Stretford Paddock trying hard to distort history. Jose's record gets better with every manager appointed after him.

When it comes to Jose vs Ole its a no brainer - Jose got us our highest ever points total post Fergie, he won us 2 trophies in his first season with a really fun Europa League run, his signings were decent and better than ole's imo. His football was bad but it was more compact and organised than Ole's. Jose has defo been the best manager we have had since Sir Alex and he was still deservedly sacked as I never agreed with the style of football, his reputation of falling out with dressing rooms, his short termism. I think Jose is finished at the top level and his style is outdated however Ole IS the reason we are an utter shambles at the moment - this team rn is HIS team, his terrible signings, he played horrific football too and conceded way more goals, he lacked any tactical ability and regularly bottled games, he was a glazer puppet and was just happy to be a utd manager. AND he lost 5-0 and 2-0 to our main rivals in the two worst performances ive ever seen. Jose>Ole but both fucking dreadful

Ole the best by far. After watching every United game the last 40 years. His period made me smile, and it was fantastic. If the players didnt crumble under pressure so damn much, he would have 3rd, 2nd a bunch of semi finals and a Europa cup. The treatment he got by some of the fans and the english media is still appaling to me.

The perfect MUFC Manager equals: - Ralf’s press conferences + - Ollie’s man management + - Jose’s winning mentality + - LVG’s coaching + - Moyes’s luck 🍀

LVG shouldve stayed he needed more time & investment

Mourinho needed support from the board, when he realised that his concerns were falling on deaf ears he fell out with everyone, and I can't blame him! No one wants to work in a work place where you are not listened to, supported and respected. Stephens comments are ignorant imo, they ignore the fact that the lack of support from the board left Jose cornered, disrespected and ultimately contributing to him losing the dressing room. Piss poor club management.

These guys are so funny, so predictable. Ole the best since SAF. Look at the state of the sqaud he left after winning nothing. Oles run at the beginning wasnt tactical masterclasses, it was a group of players who were happy again after the end of Jose

Looking at these three, the pain United fans feel is self-inflicted. How deluded you have to be to say Ole is 'best since SAF"? That goal in '99 and those memories still live. My take is that Jose is the best but only because we didn't give more time to LVG. LVG was a good fit for United, Jose was never that. ETH might be the solution, but we need to give him more time and not throw him for the board to feast. 5 years and we should be mentally ready for second half finish sometime in first two years.

With the hindsight of finally knowing how toxic this dressing room has been since LVG days, I have to say, LVG needed more time. Jose restored pride. The rest have been out of their depth.

As soon as Ole' was made permanent manager he stopped playing attacking football and the european final the abject cowardice of him and his team finished me with him

The concurrent theme is all Managers felt and publicised not being backed by The Board. Had they backed Mourinho, LvG or Moyes properly who knows. Taking decisions such as not buying Kroos, buying Fellaini as a panic, not buying a CB, refusing to sell Martial, not buying a striker. They undermined all Managers and have created the culture we have today of player power.

Jose won us our last trophy and we’re currently on a 5 year trophy drought thanks to Ole 👍

Mourinho is the undisputed best since Fergie. Most Premier League points in a season (81) First manager to win a trophy in his first season. And he won two. Last manager to win a trophy at United too. The only United manager to beat the rest of the 19 teams in the Premier League season. The least goals conceded. And most importantly, he was right about the things he said. He called Pogba a virus and was right. He said Rashford can't play as a striker, and he was right.

Great video, really enjoyed it.

Moyes took a perfectly good organization where he should just have replaced the head, and demolished the entire foundation. LvG played boring football with no passion. Jose played boring football, but we did win trophies. Ole was out of his dept, but managed to restore some pride and fun to the team. Ragnick is saddled with the mess of everything coming before him, and not enough time to fix anything.

17:15 Ste just went full Cantona with that quote😂😂😂😂

28:50 The reason that the wheels came off was down to Varane Vs Lindelof. When Varane got injured, Lindelof simply could not step up. He impacts others. When Varane is there, Matic and Fred and Scott McT can mark the space from 12 yards to our 1/3. When Lindelof is around they drop down to cover him along with Maguire.

honestly everyone in out of his depth should be in disaster, and everyone in restored pride should be in out of his depth apart from the Giggs and Carrick who actually did well to save face for us after abysmal periods

1. Jose Mourinho 2. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 3. Louis van Gaal 4. David Moyes Giggs is probably between LVG and Moyes, Carrick probably slightly over Giggs and Rangnick ahead of Moyes just.

I see someone invited the LUHG lot to the comments. Ole was the best it's been, undoubtedly.

Mourinho and Van Gal had similar styles but both lacked quick decisive attacking.They fluffed around with the ball in midfield and never played to the Wingers.

"The fans are always chanting my name, 'Louis Van Gaal's army! ✊🏿🖐🏾Louis Van Gaal's army! ✊🏿🖐🏾" miss that man!

Our lowest point was a 5-0 loss at home to Liverpool. Doesn’t matter who the manager was it doesn’t get lower than that

Riddle me this...the majority of managers restored pride...but yet I am not proud of much since SAF retired.

I agree that the most enjoyable time to watch Utd post fergie has been under OGS.

1st Louis Van Gaal 2nd Jose Mourhinio 3rd Carricky 4th Ralf 5th Giggs 6th Ole 7th Moyes Ole gave us some good moments but we were never taken seriously under Ole. I don't rate that win against PSG- it was a VAR penalty and PSG are bigger bottle jobs than us, plus we got smashed at old Trafford which is why we had to go there and win by 2 goals. Ok he took us on some good runs but it was all freestyle football, counter attacking and moments FC. Ole also delivered some of the worst moments of all time, 0-5 loss to Liverpool it was just embarrassing and you can't just forget about the fact it was not a freek result it was coming for weeks. Ole lowered the reputation of United and he took us to new lows that are much MUCH worse than LVG being boring or Jose losing the dressing room and parking the bus at Anfield. Ole lost at home to Cardiff, 0-2 they were already down, how many times did he lose at home to Crystal Palace? And he was stubborn but not in a good way, he was too nice, too blinkered and obviously a good smokescreen for the Glazers and Ed. We were never a laughing stock under Jose, not even under Moyes, I don't recall any away fans chanting for Jose to stay or for Moyes to stay like they did when they were all mocking us singing "Ole's at the wheel", he was out of his depth at best. Sometimes this nostalgic Ole love in makes me feel very marginalised as if I'm not a proper United fan just because I think Ole got an easier ride than his predecessors and the only reason why he did was because he was clearly a yes man who didn't actually have the management skills nor the personality to be at a top club. We never played great under Ole, though we scored some great goals, the midfield he gave us was nothing short of dire and he set us back 3 or 4 years he didn't build anything.

Disagree with this Ste. Jose’s time was not the worst since Fergie, this is. All of LVG, Jose and Ole could have kicked in but didn’t, and there’s lots of theories as to why, but it is what it is. The reality is, neither of them were able to win the league in spite of the glazers and the shite structure. We need something special to do that and we just don’t have it.

Moyes and LVG were both disasters for the clearout they oversaw of the championship winning core. Moyes cleaned out the entire backroom staff and Van Gaal cleared out so many players who understood the winning culture at United and could've helped get a better tune out of the likes of Pogba and Lingard who we now look at as the beginning of this toxic culture that has festered at United. Van Gaal says the things fans want to hear now but he was atrocious with some of the transfer business in the post-Fergie era and easily the most horrendous style of football besides that three game period that included City and Liverpool.

The fact that Solskjaer is considered better than Mourinho when he's single-handedly responsible for the worst United side in history is why people make fun of United fans. Greatest since Fergie. Wow.

Me and a few mates for tickets for Stockholm, we were in the uefa seat so united and ajax fans were mixed. After the game the Ajax fans congratulated us but asked how we could watch that football every week.

I agree so much with Stephen it is almost scary. Ole’s problem was Ronaldo. Utd’s best player, but he lost the team, the project he was building.

Jose LVG/Ole (I think Ole was good for the EL trophy, I know he didn’t win it, but his team certainly deserved it) Moyes Caretakers - no point analysing, although I bloody love Ralf!

The player's have more of a say than the managers. You couldn't have put it better Steve. 🇾🇪💯

No mention of the time it took Sir Alex to make an impact? Talking about best since Sir Glazer but not elaborating on circumstance... If Moyes and van Gaal were given the same time as Ferguson, this video, Mourinho's antics and the shambles of the last few years wouldnt be a topic. Moyes, even for his immediate faults, has proven he is a long term bet and van Gaal's CV is among the best in Europe. Proof of such is that Ten Haag is a modern carbon copy of van Gaal but without the character... Enjoy playing Leeds in the Championship

More of a technical query, but why does Jay's cam / the middle zoom cam look washed out? It's like the contrast or saturation is turned down compared to the other 2 zoomed shots. Nothing against the content, still love the channel, just something I've noticed for a few videos now.

Lvg looking back now. Maybe he could’ve had longer. We were boring but didn’t get bossed, press conferences were good & he had personality for it. Bit more time we could’ve improved in the attacking sense. Fa cup wanfield & called out the glazers. Also I believe after lvg the player power era in club began

As a liverpool fan, it is hilarious how OGS is seen as greatest since SAF for you lot. I think his tenure at united was a unmitigated disaster that broke your club so much it will have the worst season since being relegated in the 1970s

That away run was when there weren’t any fans? That’s a huge factor.

Great video and I'm glad you's appreciate ole.

I think ole should be split out as ole interim and as ole permanent. Two completely different things.

Question: if the same thing happens again in the 2nd or 3rd season, what next? When the Club backs their assets (players) over their manager, success will not be achieved

Letting Klopp's Liverpool to overtake United is the major reason I consider Jose a failure

The hype of the 1st game of the season....Ole had Old Trafford buzzing

Jose, LVG & Moyes have all been hired by good clubs (or countries in LVG's case) post UTD. Oli would struggle to get a championship gig, the neutrals have spoken.

A little of topic but Steve's forearms are thicker than my waist! 😮 💪

Got to be Jose for best just by trophies, Ole for me would just be above Moyes. He got backed the most financially and also by his mates in the media

I think a big part of Moyes failings was Scholes leaving along with Fergie.

Mad how literally every single category describes Ole's time as manager

How is Mourinho not the greatest since Fergie? The guy was far and away our most successful manager despite all the nonsense he had to deal with.

LVG had to replace Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick, Giggs and Scholes. He was trying to build a young nucleus and Shaw, Lingard, Martial and Rashford were superb under him. Imho best manager post Fergie and would have been successful had he had competent owners.

Moyes was simply not given enough time. That squad that he inherited was a disaster with Anderson and Cleverly in midfield and Vidic and Ferdinand in defence. As well as a love stick Van Persie who just packed it in after Fergy left. It was only Fergy's absolute genius that got that made that team world beaters. And there is a massive agenda against Moyes wrt "what he said". Ole said many identical things like EXACTLY the much hated "we aspire to be on City's level". LVG kept saying the expectation is too much and Liverpool are a bigger club. And Moyes had to endure the ineptitude that was Woodward. The thing that doesn't get talked about enough is the fact that Woodworm sent the wrong staff to sign Herrera when that was an absolute done deal. I absolutely, vehemently disagree about Rangnick being "a breath of fresh air" in these press conferences. The guy has to manage a team and he's totally lost control. He gets far too much protection by everyone here. Moaning in press conferences brings us no benefit. Again you have to MANAGE! You motivate players, install your philosophy. MANAGE! And he's failed at doing the fundamental purpose of his job.

Ole was a disaster. We played counter attacking football - occasionally beating big teams and dropping loads of points because we struggled to break down poor teams. Not one player improved during his spell - they either stayed the same or atrophied. Ask yourself - would he have even been remotely considered for the manager job if he hadn’t been a legendary player. Absolutely not. Also it seems the discipline and motivation of players completed evaporated under his watch.

Jose era just before his got sacked is no longer the lowest point post SAF. It was but not anymore. We are currently in the lowest at moment.

yes it ended badly with Mou but the current situation is worse. You have players that are just not good enough. People say they have downed tools. I just think they are being asked to do more they can

Ste howson is mad If mourinho was meant to win the league then what about ole? The champions league?

Van gaal and mourinho both needed backing after their second seasons. I'm worried that the same thing will happen to ten Hag

Jose Mourinho is the best always right since day 1 and will be: Most Trophies Won Jose Most Cup Finals Jose Most Points in single season Jose Highest finish Jose before Ole Least home defeats Jose (4) Won the Europa completing the trophy cabinets

Ralf 1st! Absolutely Exposed the lot

This vid has only highlighted to me how much of a shambles the last 10 years has been. Wow 🤯

Personal observation, born and bred "Manc" United fans (2nd/3rd/4th generation fans) understand our disastrous Mourinho was for United where as the majority of "tourist" fans from outside Manchester thought he was the best thing since sliced bread!

I'm with Ste about Louis... I feel like he was setting a good base, just needed to improve our attacking patterns, which I had hope he would get in the 3rd season.
