Ten Hag

[Roxy Hearts]

Not surprised. Man United's worst start in years. I wonder who the new manager will be? Not a lot out there.

[jambo89]

Man Utd need to accept that they are a mid-table / top 8 team nowadays (see Newcastle). As soon that mindset changes, they can begin to look forward and enjoy their football again.

ZZ first choice. Southgate an outsider 

[SectionDJambo]

They've got the same problem they had when they had to replace Busby. Expectation levels give any new manager pressure to make things happen right away. They came close to sacking Ferguson, who was one result away from it.

I thought ZZ couldn't speak much English?

Ex Manu legend Sir David Gray surely

McKinnes 

[rudi must stay]

Xavi linked. I think he'd be a good choice

Could be available soon as the Spurs fans are turning on him. 

[Life Aquatic]

Gareth Southgate... Pure snoozeball at old Trafford. Doubt he'd last the season. 

[periodictabledancer]

Apart from Fergie, I cant think of anyone with less charisma or warmth. The players must be delighted to see the back of him. 

God knows who they get next although Southgate would be hilarious.

Thomas Franck was mentioned.

The directors want that. It's an Emery board.

Villa just gave him a new contract, they knew United might come sniffing. 

[Pasquale for King]

He spent £616.8m, half of what Chelsea have, but the majority of his signings haven’t been good enough. Most of them guys who played for him before so you would imagine they didn’t down tools.

Contracts can be broken obviously, would be a shame if he went there.,

[A_A wehatethehibs]

They should genuinely look at bringing David Moyes back in tbh  

 

[MoncurMacdonaldMercer]

has neilson done enough in the USA to put himself back in the picture for one of the epl top jobs

 

 

[Seymour M Hersh]

Boooo! He was doing such a good job. 

[RustyRightPeg]

Poisoned chalice and nothing more than a guaranteed payout. 
 

They need to empty the high earners in that group of players, including your Rashford’s, Fernandes and Maguires’ for any success to come.

Dutch managers just don’t seem to succeed in the EPL for some reason.

[Samuel Camazzola]

Emery would be a solid choice. 

[Muppetboy]

The chances they missed yesterday were criminal, especially dalot, tho the inevitable was coming sometime surely 

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

I don't know why they didn't go for 11 Hag at the time.

[manaliveits105]

Could they afford Hogmo ?

[jock _turd]

They have been poor since SAF stepped away. I think he built them into a team that is regarded world wide as being great but are they that level of team? Personally I don't think they are that level now and who knows if the will be up there again. SAF built a team and then tuned it from season to season. That team has gone and now they are a collection of individuals.

Sacking him as soon as they did looks like quite a daft decision looking back now, as it's not as if anyone they've brought in since has really done much better - and some have done considerably worse!

 

Whoever came in after Fergie was never going to live up to his legacy, but over the last few years the regularity of the heavy defeats and absolutely dreadful performances - most recently the Spurs match - means that many people have just come to expect those sorts of result.

 

It will be interesting to see who they turn to next.

[Tazio]

It’s the Ineos/Jim Radcliffe effect. Ineos bought Team Sky the dominant team in cycling, they’re now in chaos and not winning anything. Ineos became a sponsor of Mercedes F1 just as they went on the skids. Then he invested in Man Utd. The man is a jinx.

You dont think Fergie had charisma 😂

[Horatio Caine]

Radcliffe probably has Dick Campbell on speed dial 

[N Lincs Jambo]

Interesting to note that out of Man U’s 20 league titles, only two weren’t won with either Busby or Ferguson in charge.

No chance he leaves the project at Villa where he has major input into everything for the shambles at Old Trafford whereby he'd be working under numerous individuals. He would be a very good target though.

and those two were won by the same person ernest mangnall. Thus all of man utds 20 titles were won by only three different managers

He had the worst record of any manager since Ferguson, the other guys have done better and nobody wants Moyes atm. He should never have got the job.
