Not quite sure “Fletch is at the wheel” has the same ring to it, mind!
We know that Fletch is unlikely to be given the job on a permanent basis but it’s lovely to keep the connection to Sir Alex by having one of his former players at the helm.
Also lovely to have someone who actually understands the club and its values!
Please don't start this. I get the idea of optimism and hope but if the next few months is a repeat of ole it's gonna end the same way it always does.
We have got to stop relying on nostalgia
United fans, or should I say football fans in general are funny. United fans genuinely think sacking Amorim will make a difference? It’s like Tottenham fans thinking getting a new manager will change their fortunes. These clubs need sorting out at board level before you even consider the manager. A case of focussing on the wrong issue.
I will be here next season, same time and we will be calling for whoever is manager to be sacked. (Not sure any decent manager will come to United).
I don't get any of these sackings, at least the timing of them.
Had to go back 3 months in my comments, but they did pretty much did what I feared, just about a month later than anticipated:
"A bigger issue is the (potential) timing of those sackings. Ten Hag was kept over the summer just to be sacked before Christmas.
They bring in Amorim, who didn't want to come mid-season first, back him in summer just to potentially sack him before November again.
They bring in another guy mid season with a different tactical approach. They realize that that guy doesn't need 6 number 10s and due to no preseason it takes longer than anticipated to get things barely up and running. Rinse and repeat to where the club is right now next summer."
Same fucking shit at Benfica rn. Corrupt and incompetent management that is sinking the club, endless conveyor belt of managers rolling around here with no practical results other than millions in compensation when the problem is the damn board. I refuse to watch any matches rn
Shit nostalgia at that 🤣2019 to 2022 🤦🏻♂️
Ole was the most fun version of United to watch post-Fergie and his team was starting to click until he was landed with Ronaldo
Ole back for some unfinished Business sounds good to me.
He'll definitely cook with mbeumo, cunha and sesko front 3 and kobbie in the midfield
Bro made martial remember his ballon d'or clause
No, he won't cook full meals. Nearly 10 years on, and we still don't have neither a proper ball-playing CM nor a decent DCM. We will never defend until we introduce genuine quality in our midfield. Even Fergie or Pep can't win 3 in a row with this current team as is.
Olectric Boogaloo
I'd prefer Mourinho
I agree bro, I’d even take José back
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Ronaldo saved our asses in a few matches but he also was a part of the problem on why we started to faulter under Ole. Ole had some issues but when ronaldo came back, everyone just started to feed him the ball and expecting him to keep producing like he was 10 years ago. Felt like we lost a lot of our creativity because of that.
Ole was damned if he did/damned if he didn’t when Ronaldo became available
Pre Ronaldo, Ole made pep look mediocre any time United played city. That can’t be a coincidence, no manager post Fergie “got” Manchester United quite like Ole did
Where's the "beat pep" trophy? Even tenhag beat pep and in a cup final too. Ole started to look out of his depth. He had to go unfortunately
I don't disagree that Ole was starting to struggle but I think some of those were board inflicted and could have been fixed.
100% Im trying to avoid the rose tinted glasses but yeah couldn't agree more.
Sounds like any other successful Utd side…work hard and hoof it to your 2 forwards…used to work really well for them actually
Yeah, 20 years ago. The league has changed and new tactics were needed.
Worked for Leicester when they won. And we’re kind of seeing a return to that after the dominance of tiki taka death from 1000s passes thanks to Pep. The most dominant point of his tenure at Barca it became borderline boring watching them slowly and completely dismantle and dissect teams. Made teams get back to emphasizing being as stout as possible defensively and then just being lethal on the counter. A style that old Utd fans are not unfamiliar with playing. Hard working 442 clinical attacking football.
That counter attacking football was Ole’s United at its best and pep suffered every time he came up against it
Why don't we just get sean dyche then if that's the way forward /s
Yep, and Ole and the team had no choice. Don't play Ronaldo, don't pass him the ball constantly, and you've an utter whinging nightmare on your hands.
The board backed Ronaldo, and backed Ole into an unwinable corner.
Hindsight being 2020 and all but United were on the right track and then signing Ronaldo felt like a free ticket to winning the league
Had Ole tried to block that transfer and said Ronaldo didn’t fit into his plans, there’s very few United fans at the time that would’ve backed Ole so you’re 100% on being backed into a corner by the board
Who should he have played instead of Ronaldo?
We did have Cavani who looked pretty good, but then got sidelined by Ronaldo. Overall though the signings needed to be better. That window we got Ronaldo, Sancho, and Varane.
Sancho should go down as one of our worst signings. Not sure why the club chased him for so long.
Varane also was a bit of a problem signing. A top CB for years, but aged overnight and was injured all the time. Another signing which went against Ole who preferred younger players.
Cavani was injured for 23 league games that season so who else should have been starting over Ronaldo?
A new signing....
A magic new signing 💀💀💀
Didn't take magic to know we'd needed a new striker for absolutely years, before betting the house on old man Ronaldo for some brain dead reason...
You start Ronaldo in that situation cause that's who you've got. But we should have been going after other strikers, younger ones, that could stick around a long time.
They already had Martial, Greenwood and Rashford who were attackers who were young enough to play for a long time and signed Sancho who was also young enough to play for a long time. One experienced signing around them is a great signing in a competent club.
Martial would play for like 2 min then get injured. Greenwood was effectively gone in Jan when he beat the shit out of his girlfriend. Yes we signed Sancho, and Rashford was playing well but he fucked his back up and had surgery and just was never the same.
Also we were scoring goals regardless l. They didn't need an experienced player up there. Again Ronaldo saved our assesin numerous matches but he was not a long term solution and his arrival changed the vibe/flow of the team for the worse overall.
Anyone who actually watched them play knows this isn't true at all. Ignoring the fact that Martial, Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood and Pogba all missed about 20+ games each that season, they were already playing poorly before Ronaldo even signed, even into the end of the previous season.
What? I never said we didn't have injury problems? And stated in other comments that Ronaldo saved our butts on numerous occasions. And yes, I watched nearly every match. While we did deal with a lot of injuries from said players, not all of them were out at the same time and if one or two were on, the others were on and avaible. And this still doesn't detract from the point that Ronaldo was a plaster over a gunshot to our injury problems. Hence why everyone started to just give him the ball instead of building our other players and signing depth.
For the record, it looks like Cavani missed the most at 20, and the rest you listed were all under that (pogba was next highest at 16). Unless you can show otherwise?
That's still not what happened, Ronaldo hasn't been that type of player in years. The attack focused on Ronaldo because he was the #9, that's not the same as just giving him the ball.
Martial and Greenwood literally left in January so that's half the season each from them and Martial was injured a lot in the first half of the season as well. Pogba missed 22 games in all comps that season. Rashford missed fewer but off the back of surgery he was never the same that season.
I may have over simplified it but that's my point, Ronaldo's role as a 9, expecting him to produce what he did in the past, when it was very clear he wouldn't be able to, stiffled the other players contining to grow, and didn't allow Ole to pursue other options for strikers/wingers with Greenwood gone and Martial so injury prone.
My overall point is, while Ole had his struggles tactically, a lot of the problems were out of his control or instigated by the board, and bringing in Ronaldo, overall, exacerbated some of those issues.
True he was building a press intensive machine but he had to change his system to fit Ronaldo.Ronaldo was amazing and is a Utd legend,so I don't blame him at the slightest but Ole had to change tactics when he came.
Not true. The downward spiral started before Ronaldo but this sub has made Ronaldo a scapegoat for some reason.
Such revisionist. We were awful and played in the break. We would never win anything with that style.
Yeah, that period brought me so much joy. This time under Amorim has been an utter waste of time on all fronts
Don’t worry mate the club has briefed that Fletch is only keeping the job for 1-2 games at most and then it’ll be another interim until the end of the season.
Maybe it will be Ole or Carrick 👀👀👀
Give me Ole back!
The Ferguson years have become a horrible issue. Absolutely plagues everything United do. Really need To move on, properly. Great period but it's over.
Definitely over they will never ever be teams like SAF produced there are no players of that calibre anymore which PL team has an outstanding talent ? For me not one….
Yes, we have to be professional now. Nostalgia is not a solution.
Fletcher has actually showed promise as a coach. I reckon he would be very Fergie-like personality wise and instil a winning mentality. I'm intrigued to see what he does against Burnley
🍿
United fans are blinded by nostalgia. Check every sub and thread and you will see the same over and over again. They still have a legitimate chance of top 4 and they’re hiring fletcher or Ole? This season is going to get worse and Glasner may have other options in the summer. It’s no guarantee he comes to united. That ole spell in his first stint is the most overated managerial spell of all time. Yes the finished second but the numbers behind it were horrible and it was all down to individual moments of brilliance and teams missing a bucket load of chances. The league has only gotten better and they’ve handed the job to someone with no managerial experience
God this sucks
Fletcher..I think I'll quit watching the games for the rest of the season..tired of these
Yeah not only the rest of the season is now wasted so is the next at the very least. Actually not to mention the previous season and a half
Give it to Keane. I think it’s time.
Can you imagine today’s generation of overpaid sulking mob of players. He’d destroy them within a week of being in the job!
Turn it into a behind the scenes docuseries and we’ve basically invented the magic money tree
😂😂😂 I’d deffo pay the subs to watch it
We should have been running the series since 2014. I would have watched all the 12 seasons.
I'd watch it, 100% lol
Netflix would pay us CL final money to film Keane have a go at the squad
Sir Alex gonna watch united matches if Keane comes??
I suggest they rotate..Keane 5 matches then Neville and Scholes..that way, the toxic fanbase can't decide who to blame too
When i see comments like this i hope you are kidding and not serious bcs ive seen this comment made more than once ...
Only take ill agree with. Keane would and could get the job done.
We knew Jose didn't have the ability to last three years when we hired him because of how he engineers fallouts with everyone.
With Keane we get about six months of amazing press conferences, Dennis Irwin player - coach and in a relegation battle.
Nah, keane wouldnt put up with the bullshit.
It would be either 1 of 2 scenarios. Players dont perform snd he fucks them off.
Or 2 he tries to instill old school values that the board doesnt agree with and gets fired within 3 months.
He did really great at Sunderland to start with. Our biggest problem is we have too many average and poor players always playing no matter the performances. Keane always calls out the bluffers. I see him bringing standards back. Keane will need support but I think he has the attitude to do it. Not a softy like ole in having favourites. Give him a good assistant to do the coaching. Maybe an older head as another assistant (Bruce or Hughes). I can see him doing wonders.
All that will get him is a thinned out squad with zero chance of investment when he will need it. Almost like what just happened, the board needs to burn.
This is the dumbest decision ever
I liked I’m as a player but he’s a Glazer yes man. He’s had multiple jobs over the years at one point wasn’t he on the bench shouting out instructions yet his job title was some sort of executive? I forget his title at the time but I know it wasn’t a coach
Let’s see how it goes he will have to be extremely poor to not improve on a 33% win average
This club values bollocks is exactly that bollocks. The club value should be to win. Who cares if we play a different way to how we used to.
The goal should be success.
City never played like they do now. And they have built a dynasty.
Amorin shouldn't have been sacked.
He hurt the feelings of wilcox and berrada in his latest interview and they spit their dummies out.
When I have mentioned that Berrada has been nothing but a failure at United I have castigated. The man has not made a single reasonable decision from hiring and sacking the previous director of football within months, to extending Ten hags contract only to sack him. He then hired Amorim. Just a chronicle of errors. He is not fit to the Chief Executive of this great club.
How can you say the club value should be to win and then say a manager with the lowest win rate in documented club history shouldn’t have been sacked?
You can't tell me that there weren't signs of improvement over the games just before the injury crisis and afcon .
Also you can't expect success immediately. He's been in the job 1 season total . 2 half seasons.
We are currently 6th in the league. What is the problem.
The Everton defeat was frustrating but it came as 1 defeat out of the previous 10 games.
We need yo get real with our expectations.
How much winning did Amorin do? 31% win rate, 15% clean sheets with 3 CB’s and essentially a back 5.
The goal should be success but the win rate with Amorim was abysmal. You cannot be serious if you think that win record is sustainable. How is it possible we are 15th last year well below teams like Brighton Everton and all other teams? Compare players pound to pound to most teams above us and you can still see we have a decent team and we should not be ending up in 15th place.
The squad was toxic last year with players not pulling their weight. Hence the bomb squad
He now had a squad of players he wants and we are 6th.
You can't be serious if you think we should be doing better than where we currently are compared to where we were.
Rome wasn't built in a day and now we are left with another set of foundations. Built upon on the previous 5 permanent managers foundations to which none of them where aloud to build on.
Like I said in my other comment, 2 things can be right at the same time. Man U has the management that makes shit decision and one of the bad decision that was made was appointing Amorim
Last year we were abysmal. I will give you that the squad we had was not what he wanted and he didn’t build it to his liking yet I still don’t expect to be 15th with this squad that won FA cup beating Man City in final. Squad is nowhere near good enough for the Man U standard to which I agree but it is still not a good enough excuse for 15th spot.
Even this year we have played so many matches where the players look like they don’t know how to even play football. That’s on Manager just as much as it is on players. I don’t even watch matches sometimes because it just hurts to see them chuck the ball in opponents third thinking we will score a goal from it.
What a weak ass post.
Let's go with vibes fc again.
We ain't going nowhere with Fletcher as manager, he will be a good little pet for the glazers and Jimmy.
Until we can get rid of glazers and Jim, the club will continue to rot.
Like Amorim or not, the guy was trying something no other managers dared to do. We needed a rebuild and new culture, Amorim was working towards it only to be sacked because the rats at the top didn't like the fact they couldn't just pick the team every week.
Fletcher has been doing some nice work at the academy , I am looking forward to what he brings to the senior team in his interim spell . Although , sadly it might not be a permanent fixture . I hope the club considers Xavi as the manager if he agrees , or extend Fletcher's spell till summer when some quality coaches would be free after the world cup .
I'm not sure about his long term potential as a manager at a big club, but he's been getting great results with the U18's and a change in tactics that suit the players we have better than the 3-4-3 will be a welcome change. All he needs is a 33% win rate to outperform what we've had and hold the fort down until a new manager is appointed, so I'm not as down on Fletcher in the interim role as many others seems to be.
Fun period where 56% of his wins came during where there were no fans in the stadium.
Plus he just has as much cup success as Amorim at United
So? Fans not being there wasn’t in his control.
He got us to multiple finals/semi finals, made us actually dominate against the big teams, playing enjoyable football, got shit players to perform. If he was supported properly, imagine what he could’ve done. But no, he was given Van De Beek who he didn’t ask for.
You mean losing to spurs 6-1? Liverpool 5-0 and Watford 4-1? Van de Beek was one of the 3 most impressive players of that Ajax team that got to champions league semi finals. We didn’t play enjoyable football, we played whatever football the players wanted to play.
He got Sancho, Varane, Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Telles, and Maguire. Varane and Ronaldo alone are of much higher quality than any other manager before or after Ole. He made every single player worse with the team having an insane dependency on Bruno Fernandes and an outrageous penalty record the whole time he was there.
If we had signed players of that quality under Amorim, maybe we wouldn’t be struggling to get wins. As we don’t record big losses, it’s always fine margins with not enough on the bench to have someone change the game.
Damn he has more wins with or without fans than Amorim has in total
Not this shit again man
GLAZERS OUT
Just waiting for Southgate to be announced. It's coming and the death of this club shortly afterwards
Afterwards? We have been dead for several years now. We are already in the afterlife phase of Man United.
100% you are on the money. I wouldnt be surprised if Southgate has been lined up for a while and he’s announced shortly. He’s the ideal ‘yes man’.
Funny thing is that is what we need now. Southgate is used to the media, he can handle it. He knows many of the players. It’s not what I want either, but it might make sense for now. Someone to settle everything down, we’re the biggest club and we’re always in the spotlight. I feel like with southgate we’ll be more focused on the long term success.
Why sack him we have Burnley next no big deal, they’ve got rid so they don’t have to strengthen the squad its a cop out top 4 spot down the pan now, ridiculous the owners have killed this club forever, so sad….
We’re back to square one 😭
Long time no speak! I hope you've been doing well mate
Agree that post Mou was one of the most fun post Fergie times!
I was always Amroim IN, I know you felt differently, but that's been and gone now! I'm looking forward to being on the same side of the argument as you for a while
Edit: spelling
I was on the fence for a number of reasons but am surprised he made it to 2026 with the run of things.
I saw another post which made a really good point which was that it wasnt the typical loss after loss that marks a lot of departures but the overall string of good results over time that was missing. That and him not being at grips with the fact that he was clearly hired to be the coach not the manager. He's been on the precipice multiple times but that presser yesterday forced the board's hand.
Afcon and injuries didn't do him any favors but this job was too big for him from day 1 being brought in mid season.
Same here.. was on the fence.. is inability to get any sort of result last season was scary.. and even this season the complete toothless showing against the bottom teams did not bode well. Still think he is a good manager.
Reckon they’re going to test Glasner’s resolve this week or bring a club legend interim in to manage until the summer. Let’s hope for a fun ride regardless!
Glasner plays 5 at the back. Amorim wasn’t sacked for poor results(although his results were poor). He was sacked for standing up to the hierarchy when they refused to sign players, just like they did with Mourinho and Ragnick when they spoke out. This club is rotten and a new manager won’t change anything.
I get it, when the boards vision and the managers vision become misaligned one must go and it’s the manager who goes always. But the worrying bit is they sacked him because he wanted what everyone sees we need; more players especially in midfield. Will it be the same with the next manager? Fired because he spoke up against the obvious?
Glasner is literally on record saying he plays 5 at the back because that’s what the players he has available to him can do best, he goes on to say his ideal world formation would be 442, but it depends on the players he has.
We don’t know why Amorim was sacked yet, other than he went to war with the only people who supported him from a position of weakness. If we’re sitting here in a seasons time with a couple of cup wins and the manager is asking for us to stop selling players then I think he’ll get a significant amount of support I would imagine.
Also, new managers literally change everything. I do wonder if this is what Liverpool said before appointing Klopp, or Villa before appointing Emery, or City before appointing Pep. What’s the point lads? Nothing will change eh?
Amorim was smart enough to realise that he will never get United to were it needed to be. He realised they will never back his plans and support the way he does things. So why not just say it, get paid out and leave a dead end job. That’s what United is for any manager. The board will never back any manager properly. All previous managers from Moyes, LVG, Ole, Ragnick and Jose have said they never got the players they really wanted signed by the club. What makes you think they will change for the next manager? Amorim is out,£11m in his pocket, no longer his problem. And we are still stuck with this board they employed him in the first place.
There it is the first sensible post on here and it’s downvoted 🤮
he's interim. we will get a new manager after the transfer window (make no transfers) then have a new manager who will probably get sacked early next season because he wants to make bigger changes and the board will say no. same cycle over and over.
i'm taking a break from the man utd subreddits. fuck sake. stupid people in charge at the club. can we sack wilcox? seems like he's power hungry fuck head.
Did Ole win anything though? If you want to support a club that is entertaining but wins nothing, go support Tottenham.
I was absolutely shocked this morning leaving work, I didn't think it would happen now neither us sitting in 6th, yeah performances haven't been eye catching, substitute decisions have been questionable but look where we was last year. Right now we gotta settle for Darren because nobody else is gonna wanna come in during a window where they can't improve with what we are lacking, I don't see Fletcher being the long term answer, I will always support the manager & the team, but he got no previous experience & we all know how the honeymoon period goes. I've seen people say get Enzo Maresca, do you think the board wanna deal with another manager who isn't scared to speak out, they clearly want a puppet yes man, who follows their orders.
Ole was terrible. Really cannot stand this rose tinted view we have of his time here.
We played defensive, counter attacking football with no clear direction / tactics.
Please lads let’s get realistic. We only finished 2nd in that season because other top clubs were poor, not because we were good
Sounds like Fletcher is more of a Ruud than an Ole, i.e. he'll only be in charge until a "permanent" interim manager comes in.
A mate of mine who is a pool supporter just wished me and my friends the best of luck - even they're in shock. This was a shit move, at a shit time. Goodbye champions league.
Ya timing was fucked. Not the usual united sacking. It’s obvious players liked him, and that wasn’t the reason for it. He said a lot of shit that he wanted to say, and he knew he’ll get sacked. I don’t blame him, I blame the fucken board for appointing him in the first place in the middle of a season
Well I’m gonna quit watching Manchester United fr at least few months… total waste of time… no stability as a club… utter failure
Vibes FC is back 😂 make him permanent manager, it all falls apart and then we hire a bald Dutch manager. Maybe Arne Slot will be available. For efficiency, I’m skipping over the German interim manager since it’s obvious the board will not tolerate competency.
I never imagined the day utd backed a director of football over a manager it’s a sad day
What happened to giving managers time. I fucking hate this club man.
What a load of garbage! This club is finished. With Jim the Rat and the Glazers in charge, and moron fans that lap that shit up.
To all the Ineos ass lickers, has he put the Manchester back in Manchester United yet?
"The last time we hired a manager mid season in November was SAF, and now ruben amorim" type energy, but hopefully it goes well for us
All of you that were Amorim out, see where we end up now.
bet
Zero interest in watching the rest of the season, same fucking shite cycle starts again I’m exhausted at this point think I’ll find another sport to follow.
Zero stability in the club
We now have to do the whole bring a new manager in, give him time (which he will get 3 years and won’t end up reaching the 3 years)
Listen to how this manager needs his own players to fit his system, listen to the excuses by scapegoating someone as to why the rest of the squad isn’t performing
Then the whole need time to rebuild like 3/4 transfer windows won’t get to the 3rd sack the manager then get a new manager and start the cycle again
We are not going to find our feet or stability in a season an a half results are bound to be frustrating along the way but give someone fucking time to work through it, I can’t go another 13 years of the in an out club with managers no one out there is gonna come in an do the treble in 6 months
Ronaldo was right BTW. Definitely had the right sources himself when he came out a couple months ago. I have no more to say on that. Ruben on the other hand did his best with the tools he had, it seems pundits and mainstream media influenced management (hierarchy) to fuck things up once again. No matter who comes in 25% ownership is not enough to have power or say, in business this is dookie numbers that has little power no matter what the figures say what they spend etc. in business you have little power to convince majority of shareholders. If shareholders see an factual opinion, they have two decisions to make either keep the person who can communicate facts properly to the media, the value is in trouble. The commercial is in trouble and it causes a US VS THEM war.
Since the war on glazers has calmed down a little, Ruben could've started one again that's huge and impactful because he's communicated well. INEOs took a backseat because they have no power (Radcliffe believed in Ruben and everyone had harmony in long term play) The majority made the decision to avoid media pressure of ownership because glazers don't want to sell or give up power. It's a trickle effect from the top and it effects everyone. So they sacked the brave who spoke truth; I came here to manage the team, not to just to coach. People in the hierarchy took it as an ego bruise and sacked him because it flips the dynamic and calls out dookie behaviour.
You want a true football club let the skilled football expert do it's job, don't butt in because your leader said pundits said 'amorins not good enough' 'formation is bad, go to 443' 'not good enough to be prem manager nevermind united manager's - all that is bollocks to divide and conquer and make your bottomline Vs a commercial club. If the commercial club doesn't have rational critical thinking job going on, it's a sinking ship as it's shown.
No matter how many times they say 'oh it's a brand new start, we've done things wrong in the past and now it's time for real long term play' and they still make the same mistakes as before it's a habitual problem within the hierarchy that trickles down to every department. like Ruben said in his last interview 'you need to change the club'. If as a owner or leadership can't take a look in the mirror and be rational, you're just purely an emotional club reacting on factual opinions. Radnick said it best without naming them, open heart surgery
What about Carrick and RVN?
Unpopular opinion but can Sir Alex make a return as interim manager? 😛😛
At 84?
Age is just a number... 😬😬
This guy also thinks age is just a number.
So the cycle begins
I hope they appoint and absolutely elite manager eventually just to prove the point that the managers have never been the problem, it’s the structure of the club itself that’s wrong.
So another 5 years or so of shit?
If we are to look at history then it's more like another 35 years. 2013 + 50 years😭
I like him as a player but I am nonetheless concerned.
He has no top level coaching experience, whereas Ole at least have a PL stint at Cardiff and was manager of Molde, a top Norwegian team.
Not to mention, his sons are at the age to want to breakthrough to the first team especially considering the limited options right now. He will have to be prudent in his selections and free from bias.
And even if Jack/Tyler Fletcher are truly ready for first team football, Fletcher needs to be ready to face criticism when the starting XI are announced and substitutions made. Our toxic fanbase WILL NOT hesitate to accuse of nepotism. They are young players, and perhaps not fully ready for the mental anguish and scrutiny of playing in the Premier League and for Man United.
What is this bullshit? I seriously couldn't care if fletcher knows the values of the club, why does that matter in a manager? Are you serious? That's not gonna help us get top 4
Here we go again
Nepotistic hire with sons on the team. Ruination Station up next, all aboard!
Yeah, let’s see how long it lasts, it’s a rinse and repeat with this club
Olesexuals are back! Absolutely revisionist nonsense about a total vibes fraud (amazing player though!)
Would rather have Sam Allardyce than Ole back.
Darren Fletcher was no one’s childhood hero..come on now lol
Don’t get it we are fifth in the league, the players improved there was something like a change, now the manager is sacked because he speaks his mind and opinion, the next manager comes and 18months later same shit again…
Quick recap of all the previous managers who "understood the club and its values":
Giggs: did nothing with Wales, never managed anywhere since. Not United quality.
Carrick: mid-table Championship mediocrity with Middlesbrough. Not United quality.
Ole: relegated with Cardiff, failed at Fenerbahce. Not United quality.
Ruud: relegated with Leicester. Not United quality.
When will we learn?
What we need is someone who has ABSOLUTELY ZERO connection with our club, who can come in and implement his own system without being held back by doing things "the United way". As long as its not another Moyes. Or another LVG. Or another Jose. Or another Rangnick. Or another ETH. Or another Amorim.
He is in bed with the glazers and ineos give it to Wilcox or Vivell since they know it all
It'll be the usual bounce factor, we'll come out in a 4-3-3 formation, beat Burnley 3-0, follow that up by cruising past Brighton in the FA up, and people will be calling for him to get the job.
I do hope he remains involved, but Fletcher is not the next manager.
We’re finishing 12th enjoy ur brexit manager
as long as he brings us trophies (ik he might not be permanent before anyone says lol this is a joke)
I won't settle unless its two trophies...heh two trophies guys!
Pleased don’t give me hopes😭

Ending was depressing
There is a possibility of Father head coach and his two sons in the starting lineups of Man United 😁 Proud of Fletchers 💪😂
Nothing I’ve seen from his son yet suggests he’s ready for the first team. He should be gone from the bench the second the afcon exiles return.
This thread is useless, ppl are not convinced fletcher can do the job or are hinging on nostalgia.
can any of you confirm what system he plays with the under 18s and whats his record. lets publish that here and then begin a conversation
Based on current form, his United U18 side is operating at roughly a 57% win rate this season, with 8 wins from 14 matches across league and cup competitions.
Is he sacked fr? Man I'm kinda sad but I hope our next manager is better tactically wise and helps continue what Amorim was doing from behind the scene
Main message will be enjoy yourself lads You know you are better man for man against Burnley go and win the game 💪

They should just sign someone who does not know English. The amount of media attention and interviews amorim did compared to others is just diabolical.

Can he play in the midfield too?
Why are people forgetting how utterly shambolic the team were towards the end of Ole’s reign? We’re not going to go anywhere playing a deep block and countering.
Guarantee we will be more watchable if nothing else.
False equivalency. Ole had at least managed molde and Cardiff (albeit relegated). What has Fletcher accomplished asides being a former player? Not saying Amorim shouldn’t have left bc it seemed untenable going forward, but the kneejerk “insert a former player as caretaker until we decide on an interim/full time manager” reeks of desperation and lack of planning
Media at the wheel again for their merry go round. Disappointed in my club leadership for falling at the same hurdle once again.
Excellent
Good luck to him, he won't be the manager, but let's try and enjoy it whilst he is in charge.
Well Scottish managers tend to be hit or miss with us, so here's hoping.
For the record I wanted us to stick with Amor I'm until he got some of his squad back. But honestly, I'm not surprised, I feel like Bruno kicking off with the board was the catalyst.
If we can get someone who can get us playing aggressive attacking football and get the fans on their feet, it's half the battle. It hurt but I feel like Scholes was right when he said Amorim didn't quite get the club.
Darren Fletcher was also one of my sporting heroes, like Ole, so I hope there's a chance it can go well, if he hits the ground running.
Fuck it letsss gooo Ole ball 2.0
No pressure on Darren as should be right
Pressure is fully on Ineos
Really hoping for a bounce back like when Ole came in, be fun to watch us scoring some goals before we bring in the next permanent manager

I'll only tune in for Interim Ole
That is the dream 😍
Most fun because theres no expectations, no tactics, no discipline in the squad and most notably no trophies. All vibes
Fletcher twins mid is a go
What's fletchers record as a manager? How's he doing with our youth team?
it wasn't fun loosing the Europa League final in 2020-21
Not a bad choice, good luck to him.
It was the most fun we Liverpool fans at your expense in years! Olly’s at the wheel!
I’ll get behind every manager until I see a reason not to. Get us some wins gaffer
Guy knows N O T H I N G about managing a club. Maybe if Fletcher wasn't available we would have caretaker Phil Jones. Let's refrain from blind optimism.
"connection to Sir Alex" lol what does that even mean ?
Just because he played under Ferguson it doesn't mean he knows shit about football.
Ole won nothing of sort in his nearly 3 years at the club. "Fun period".
Our fans never learn I swear.
United are in talks with Michael Carrick to become Interim Manager till end of the season
Basically they'll be replacing their interim manager with another Interim manager
Ole is on his way!
Yep but he did better than LVG, or Moyes, or Ten Hag and certainly Amorim with his league positioning, managers who came with a far higher pedigree and expectation that Ole ever had.
And the football was quality at times, until the wheels did in fact fall off, as players like Rashford chucked him under the bus, he had them playing slick, fast paced, attacking football.
If we are to be just a Top 6 finish, or even mid-table, I’d far prefer it to be whilst playing attractive football that gets you off your feet when the ball’s getting moved quickly down the wing…I’d rather watch highlights of 1990/91 any day with Lee Sharpe zipping about than Mourinho’s United teams.
He won’t stay as coach, Fletch wants a sporting director role, btw he was already taking over coaching before.
Foolish post . Delusional and plastic fans like you . Brother we are 5 steps back now with these stupid move .
It was also a waste of 18 months with a manager that wass a kiss ass to the owners
Oh for fucks sake.
Does this mean Rashford could return?
Hope not
Everyone is so wrapped up in Amorim and whats next no one has thought to even think what Fletcher can do.
Suppose it's unclear how long he's going to be interim for but he is very knowledgeable about the club, he's been here since 2002 as a player, coached at various levels and also worked at the board, he's probably the perfect guy to know what has been going on at the club at every level.
I think he might do well and if he does I wouldn't be against giving him the job. I think this idea we should never give an interim manager the job full time just because we did it once with Ole and it never worked is pretty stupid, if someone is doing well regardless of the situation why shouldn't they be viewed as a candidate?
Hopefully everyone just puts this noise to bed and gets behind Fletcher.
He’s a yes man that won’t rock the boat. I’m in equal measure underwhelmed & not surprised that he got the gig for the next few games.
