We have Fletcher coming in for a few games whilst we find an interim for the rest of the season (who knows, he may well stay on until the end of the season yet).

We know that come the summer there will be a new Manchester United manager/ head coach. Who would you like to see take over at Old Trafford and why?

Discussion Points

  • Who should be the interim until the end of the season?
  • Who should we bring in to manage the team next season?
  • If the interim manager performs well, would you still replace them?
  • How do you think these changes will affect our premier league position?

Please keep comments in this thread on topic!

  • This feed is now sorted by top as the conversation has died down to show the highlights from the thread.

  • Bring Ole back for a few months, fuck it vibes FC.

    Seriously though, Out of a job, loves the club, premier league experience, qualified for CL.

    Ole is a safe one. He'll develop a good rapport with the players, will play uncomplicated football in a formation that should suit, knows the club inside out, is loved by fans and is a safe one for the board.

    Ole in until the summer.

    How long till we're calling for his head again?

  • On a lighter note - the Salford city boys who can't stop moaning. Neville, Scholes, Butt - let them rotate every matchday.

    Legendary players but toxic pundits - never calling out the ownership, only loading onto the manager

    Personally I don't like Neville as a pundit when he talks about man Utd. Sick of hearing the rhetoric the manager isn't good enough, when the way Reuben Amorim was sacked is a complete mess which is down to the board

    Couldn’t agree more.

    Pretty confident Neville's called out the glazers many a times.

  • Absolute joke of a club sacking him. Pathetic tbh. Force him to come mid season or not get the job. Spend 200 million on players for his system and then sack him midway through the next bloody season. What on earth were they thinking?

    Yes we’re not being amazing but from where we were when he took over it’s night and day. We’re 3 point off 4th. What was the point in it.

    They’ll bring in another pointless manager to do a pointless job and sack him 12-18m later.

    If it’s anyone it has to be Ole imo. He shouldn’t have been sacked in the first place.

    Totally agree. This sacking really stinks. The club is being run by a bunch of suits that just want a 'yes' man to act as coach/manager that they can blame and fire when things go wrong. Looks like Amorim wasn't willing to bend over for them. Good for him. He can leave with his head held high. As for those tossers behind the scenes? Well, it feels like a coup. The club has been taken away from the people and fans that made it great. I have no appetite for this kind of football culture.

  • Bring back Ole. Never should have sacked him...

  • Get Gary Neville in as interim. Just give him a taste. Like seriously guys, get him in.

    Love the idea, he can get shat on for a change

  • Give the job to Barada, Wilcox and Ineos so we can sack them when we do shit

    Or maybe Scholes, Neville or Keane... see how they stack up against Amorim with their lousy fucking takes on a club that made them famous for life.

    I honestly hope the team turns out against Burnley on Wednesday and downs tools against the owners. Just walk around the pitch, give the ball back to Burnley at every chance. I hope Bruno starts and kicks the ball out of touch at the directors box from kickoff. This team will never heal nor get back to how we was with those fuckers in charge.

    2 fucking transfer windows, 2! With a team missing 5 of the 11 starters fielding a bench of unproven youth, sat in 6th place 3 points away from 4th. Fuck them all.

  • Ancelotti. Most ‘top’ managers have a way of playing - Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Klopp, Pocchettino etc. They play a certain shape, require certain players. Ancelotti is one of a rare breed who can look at the squad and figure out a system that suits them.

    He’s had success with superstars and his work at Everton looks even more spectacular in light of what’s been since.

    I know he doesn’t want the job, but I’d love to see what he did with it

    We'll send him to an early grave, and I don't want that for such a legendary manager. He needs to enjoy his time now.

  • Why not offer the position to Paul Scholes or Gary Neville? They seem to have opinions.

    Bunch of perpetual moaners.

  • Gonna be honest, the more I think of it and considering that Amorim essentially got sacked for speaking his mind, I am worried that Utd will go after Southgate for PR nonsense reasons.

  • Don't care anymore.

    Honestly, when I saw Amorim got sacked. my first thought was fuck I have no energy to deal with this shit anymore.

    So, I don't care anymore either.

  • Roy Keane, the interviews will be more exciting than the games

  • No idea anymore.

    I honestly wanted ole, eth and now Ruben to stay.

    I just think scape goating one person every time something doesn’t go perfectly is a big problem and not being able to commit to a project is quite embarrassing.

    I might be incorrect here please clarify me if I’m wrong. But didn’t Dan ashworth leave because he was very against the appointment of Amorim due to his strict formation. Wilcox and berrada said they’d back Amorim, and they did partially for one summer window. And now they’re letting him go due to not liking his strict formation…? Surely they should leave too if they’re responsible for the hire in the first place. Sorry just waffling 😅

  • Amorim was doing the heart surgery Ragnick alluded to and you mouth breathers forced him out. Now you’re in here blaming the Glazers. UTDTrey, Absolute Bruno, Stratford Paddock and the rest of you online tacticos have this sacking on your hands.

    That said, Nagelsman or Xavi.

    This. Definitely this. All of you who wanted him out never had the stones for the open heart surgery and you never will. We were where I expected us to be this season but no, the "we're Man Utd and we should be challenging for titles" people have to have a moan.

    I have no idea who I want as manager. What's even the point? The likes of Jason Wilcox will just sack the next one anyway.

  • No matter who comes in, the cycle will be repeated till the owners are replaced.

  • How about Gary Neville or Paul Scholes since they know so much about how a United team must play?

    On a serious note, if the incompetent and impatient board wants a back 4, just go to OGS or RvN or even Rangnick and support them.

    Else just go for the best of the best like Zidane, Xavi, maybe Tuchel, but these guys will want full control.

  • Roy Keane 😂

    Could do worse than Keano!! He wouldn’t put up with any whinging and player BS😂

  • Honestly couldn't give a fuck, everyone in the club higher than the manager needs to go.

    We're a joke.

  • Unai Emery - no brainer

    Its a no brainer....but he has a brain and he will not join us...

  • Just not Southgate, please!

  • Which decent manager would want this job with the fvcking INEOS and Glazer circus. Like seriously. Which manager would want this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bruno goes to Saudi after this buffoonery.

  • It doesn't matter.

    Noone will succeed at Old Trafford with these clowns in charge.

    Also - any up and coming manager wpuld be insane to go there. Career killer.

    Agreed. By sacking Amorim they’ve shot the themselves in the foot massively. Every manager can now see that they won’t be given the adequate time to rebuild at United and will be sacked if they dare try and implement their own ideas. The best a managers will steer well clear, if they weren’t already.

  • Doesnt matter who I want as next manager. No manager can succeed here under this current ownership

  • I want fucking Radcliffe, berrada and Wilcox to manage just so they know how absurdly incompetent they are.

  • Glazers out

  • Ole, we all know it’s going to happen

  • I was content with the direction Amorim was taking the team. Losing to Everton was a piss off considering we were full strength, drawing to Wolves was embarrassing, but we're still 3 points off of 4th place. The entire Premier League is so competitive the difference between 5th and 14th place is 4 points.

    That being said we're missing key players due to Afcon, we have key players injured... Yet the board is offended by our managers comments. It's just a joke I don't even care at this point. I'll still support the club until I die, but it's baseless decisions like this that puts me off wanting to care more.

    Enjoy the cycle of hiring a manager and firing them in another year and have no identity. Then complaining why aren't back to winning ways. GGMU

  • No one, just dissolve the club. The board is not capable of running this club.

  • Ole or Ruud as interim.

    Not sure about next full time though

  • Is there a way for us to hire a competent front office whose feelings don’t get hurt by managers words? I’ll take a competent front office first then a quality manager. 13 years of this. I’m tired

  • It won’t matter. As long as the Glazers are a part of United we will relive this circus over and over again.

  • Get Ole back at the wheel.

    Played some good football but was never backed to get the right players.

    Secondary, a manager who likes 433.

    Casemiro CDM, with Mount (box to box) and Fernandes (creativity) next to him.

    Cunha, Sesko, Mbuemo up top.

    With Keane as assistant 😅

  • Ole, he played good football and wanted great signings but the board didn't buy them.

  • Eric Cantona ( Roy Keane as his #2 )

  • I’d bring back Olè until the end of the season. No extensions though.

    I'm kinda up for Ole ball tbh.. especially for a limited time!

  • Doesn’t matter does it? We’ll all be back here in a year and a half

    I want these leeches out of our club

  • Genuinely the best thing this fanbase can do is shut up about anything apart from getting Jason Wilcox as far away from the club as possible

  • The time has come for Roy Keane to manage Manchester United.

  • Ole until June. Then if he does well permanent him!

  • I believed in the direction Amorim was trying to take this team. Results like Everton and Wolves were frustrating, no doubt, but context matters. We’re still within touching distance of the top four in a league where a few points separate half the table.

    With important players away at AFCON and others injured, it was always going to affect performances. Instead of backing the manager through it, the board seems more concerned with being challenged than with building something sustainable. That says it all.

    I’ll always stand by this club, but constant knee-jerk decisions kill any chance of rebuilding identity or belief. Replacing the manager year after year isn’t a plan, it’s avoidance. And until that cycle ends, returning to the top will remain nothing more than talk.

    Glory Glory Manchester United!

  • I don’t think it makes a difference. At this point I’d be happy to see the lads go play football with no manager since all we seem to do is sack people without giving them any time. May as well save the trouble of hiring.

  • Those saying Amorim shouldn’t have been fired - keep in mind that he actually he quit. That presser after Leeds was him quitting via asking to be fired. He created his own exit. His choice to go after upper management, justified or not. The club hadn’t seen results enough to lay out a bunch of money in this transfer window in support of his approach and seemingly said that he needed to consider a formation change. The 3-4-3 was apparently a hill he was ready to die on. So he did.

  • Gary Neville.. i just wanted to see how he manages a game atleast !! Talks alot !

  • Amorim gets sacked after being the first United boss to challenge for a title in years

    A job title challenge (manager v head coach) is as good as it gets for us

  • Mark my words…

    Jim is going to bring in Southgate under the guise of an Interim position until the end of the season. The hope will be that he’ll prove everyone wrong so he can appoint him full time. You watch.

  • United has no fans, but all tactical experts. Everyone has an opinion about how a club should be run! The UnitedStand people and so many other United based X accounts rile people against the coaches for not playing a player or because “It’s not the United way”. Mark my words, as long as people are stuck in the Alex Ferguson days, United ain’t gonna be a serious team. Part of why Amorim was sacked was because people let these accounts ruin their mind into being mad against a manager who had United at 5th and had a couple draws without Bruno, Mbeumo, Amad, Maguire, De ligt, Mount and more! Why is Mark Goldbridge and others telling a million of his followers that Amorim should be sacked? Why do they get to decide?

  • Don't really care. Doesn't really matter. I've lost all hope at this point. There is no way we will be successful if we keep switching managers every year without getting players to fit their system.

    Look at the successful teams in the PL at the moment. Liverpool, Arsenal and City all stuck with their managers and gave them the players they wanted /needed to make it work.

  • Put OGS back at the wheel. No manager will succeed with this rotten club and ownership. OGS years were the most fun and closest to success we've had post-fergie. If we're gunna be poo, may as well bring the good vibes back from OGS pre-Ronaldo 

  • Bring back ole I don’t want anyone else

  • Nobody can save this club until the owners are gone.

    And some of your choices are so gut wrenchingly disgusting.

  • What do you mean by a manager? They are looking for a head coach. He will just play whatever formation Wilcox tells him to play, say some motivational shit he got off internet, point at things and kick a bottle sometimes, shake hands at the end of the match, and give a generic interview.

    Who is gonna want to come here. What serious manager will think, Man Utd, a team that wants to win. No, the current vibe is that we are where managers go to kill their career. Still a commercial club.

    Amorim played players in wrong position? I think we have people in management in wrong positions making decisions that are out of the scope of their ability.

    Ratcliffe, makes me wonder how he got rich in the first place.

  • Give me Ole!

  • The {insertmanagername}-out brigade have the patience of potato and expect United to win every game with an unbalanced squad. So I expect they'll be hounded out of the club too.

    People like Vivell and Wilcox are leaking shit to the press, undermining the manager, got the transfers wrong, take no accountability, only speak to the press when we win a few games, and keep their jobs. Meanwhile the guy who clearly had the right intentions to overhaul the club is kicked out.

    We needed a squad overhaul, but we bought two 10s when we didn't need both, bought a young striker slightly better them Hojlund who will still need time to develop, and a very raw fullback. Yes, they spent money, but in the wrong places. I like Sesko, but he's not the striker we needed in the rebuild.

    Then we dick about with Semenyo, who we clearly don't need, but refuse to buy a central midfielder that the next manager will need anyway.

    Club may as well be run by chimpanzees. They'd probably get more decisions right.

  • Basket case of a club chasing identities when its identity is aggression with fucking wingers.

  • I'd actually like to see what Xavi could do. He took a team in enormous amounts of debt, unable to register new players, pulled a bunch of kids from the U21s to make up the numbers, and won the cup and the league. Flick inherited the foundations put in place by Xavi.

    I like this, but I feel like his tactics won’t work in the prem. I also doubt he would take the job.

  • Does it matter we'll be back here again in 12 months

  • Ole, on a very strict understanding that it's only interim with a full review to be conducted in the summer - no giving him the job full time in March.

    If the summer analysis determines that he's the best man for the job, then and only then make him permanent.

  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

    With this squad, he could work miracles. Inspirational football.

  • Gary Neville. Paul Scholes as his assistant.

    I came here to say Krusty the Klown but these 2 knob heads would be even more comedic

  • Does it really matter any more?

    6 months in the ownership will turn their backs and the fans will ask for his head even if you bring SAF out of retirement, because he'd "take too long".

  • Glasner would be good. But this board will hire Southgate because there’s never been a mistake they’ve been able to resist.

  • Gary Neville was quoted by BBC: “stop experimenting and appoint a manager who fits the club’s DNA”. I’d love to hear Gary name a few.

  • Me, could do with 15 mil

  • The hierarchy wants yes men. Why bother competing when profits are soaring year over year? If this club was serious about FOOTBALL, they'd be looking at someone like Nagelsmann, Conte, Emery, or even Xavi. A manager who adapts to the opposition and the squads strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, United is run by an assemblage of leeches who care about the bottom line and their own image.

  • No matter who they bring in they will be gone in a year

  • Ole as interim and nagelsman in after the world cup

    Deffo no southgate or meresca

  • Mark Goldbridge

  • OLEEEE AT THE WHEEL TELL ME HOW GOOD DOES IT FEEL, WE GOT BRUNO, SESKO AND AMAD, KOBBIE IS A RED BORN AND BREAD OOOHHHH OLE OLLEEE OLEEEE

  • Glasner if he can be convinced, otherwise Xavi or Ole.

  • Don’t care anymore. Six full time managers in and we’ve made no progress, and still haven’t truly allowed any of those managers to do a full squad revamp. Glazers, Ratcliffe and his management committee need to go before we see any change.

  • Ole as caretaker and Glasner as full time in the summer.

  • Nagelsmann will be available after the wc and imo we should go all out for him but idk if he'd want to join us.

  • Doesn’t matter anymore. It’ll be the same results whoever gets appointed.

  • I don't want to see everybody. because I don't think we should've sacked Amorin.

    If we keep chopping and changing managers hoping for things to get better. They won't. the problem starts from the top the problem starts at the head of the snake. We need new owners and leadership team. A COMPLETE RESET is the ONLY THING that will fix the systemic issues we have a Manchester United.

  • You mean, "Who do you want to as the interim/next full time Head Coach?"

    I may sound sarcastic, but we need a Yes man. We need a excellent motivator, communicator and man management. He does not need to be a tactical genius or too philosophically driven. So top coaches like Xavi, Luis Enrique, Conte - forget about them, they will crash with the board.

    After this incident, we know Vivell and Wilcox wants to high level tactical and style-of-play control and we as fans wants stability.

    I think Ancelotti & Pochettino be a good choice. They bring the best out of the players, but not too tactically rigid.

    Ole is excellent choice for interim. Fletcher's son are in the squad, so a bit of conflict of interest for him. If Ole does well, let him continue - minimize changes and let the squad stabilise.

    We will win games, but not dominating. Top 4 contender, but not title favourite - basically like Chelsea. Only a elite coach, fully empowered, driven with real influence over long-term strategy (like Pep), can raise our ceiling. Otherwise, if power remains with Vivell and Wilcox, they will merely ensure our floor is not low between managerial changes.

  • I don’t care anymore. Fuck it, give the janitor a go.

  • Ole until the end of season, then Tuchel

  • What’s the point of anything anymore?

  • Ole as Interim would be great.

    I have alway like Poch, but I don’t see that happening. Honestly it will probably be someone like Carrick, because he has already managed the team on an interim basis.

    Whoever it is though, I think they need to suit the players we have already. I think that was the mistake we made with Amorim, because I don’t think he was ever really going to change from his philosophy.

  • I liked Ruben, but I’m always team first. That said, there’s no coach on the planet right now that’s available and better than a coach of Ruben’s level.

    All there is out there is managers on the same level as Ruben or below. You usually only sack for someone better, however, they sacked a guy who has the club a game out of the top 4.

    INEOS have actually screwed themselves long term. If they bring in a temp, and the temp gets us into the top 4. Everyone will say, “he got you into the top 4, why not make him permanent?” He’ll basically get the cred for everything Ruben achieved.

    If they keep the temp and next year he flops and they sack midway again. It’ll be, why in the world did you sign him to a new deal after his temp role?

    If the temp comes in takes us from almost a point away from the top 4 down to 10, 11, or lower. It will be, why didn’t you just back Ruben in January when we had a chance for the UCL finally and that would’ve given our club transfer signing cred as players want to play in the UCL.

    For INEOS to look good here they need their next 2 big moves (1- hire the right guy now as temp to get us into the top four, 2- either sign him/replace him at the end of the season and ensure we stay at that level next season and don’t drop) to be right on the money.

    Considering how many bad moves they’ve already made. I doubt they get it right here. And if they do it’s mostly just luck. But they’ll say “it’s a process we finally got it on the right track”.

  • Give Zizou an offer he can’t refuse. Club loves throwing away money anyway.

  • I want to see how well Fletch does

  • If Fletcher does well in his couple of games, just give him the interim role til the end of the season. No use in another pointless 6 month Rangnick-esque spell.

    Long term the answer is Emery, tricky as it would be to get him away from Villa. 2nd choice would probably be Glasner.

    Realistically, it's going to be Southgate, isn't it?

  • It doesn’t matter. Whoever we get will fail

  • I guess i don't even care anymore... We are hopeless. They'll chose the coach who'll obey them and continue this mediocrity.

  • Here we go...

    The fanbase says who they want. Six games in it'll be [Insert Manager] out.

    Club is done.

  • Emery, Emery, yes unless it's Emery and they wont

  • I legit want us to be relegated so we can be rid of the Glazers.

  • Doesn’t really matter tbh

  • Amorim.... Why sack him if there is no one ready to take charge. Especially with games against City and Arsenal to come up next month. Amorim is best suited to getting results against them

  • Doesnt even matter..At this very point Christ himself wouldnt be able to improve things fast..Lets just interim do his jobfor some time and come back to this question after we have cooled down a bit..

  • Carrick for the rest of the season if it’s a caretaker role. None of the available managers excite me tbh Maresca is the pick of the bunch but I still think his Chelsea stint was very hit and miss. De Zerbi is one I like but probably wouldn’t leave his current club, Pochettino could be linked after the World Cup ditto Tuchel/Ancelotti etc.

  • Why does it even matter...we're the new Chelsea (minus the results). If you can't stick with a manager what is the point?

    Going from 15th to 6th (one win off 4th) gets you sacked. Pointless to have any hope of someone coming in and doing a good job at this stage.

    This isn't a football club, it's a social experiment which has gotten out of hand.

  • Wouldn’t happen but I’d love Ancelotti

  • Dont care anymore im fed up

  • I dont really have any ideas who to hire, but I will say this, I really hope someone comes in that makes me feel excited. I feel like the season just ended.

  • Likely - McKenna, Glasner or Carrick

    Rogue bet - Xavi or Southgate (remit isn't that far off the job he did for England)

  • There are several names I want but it should be someone in the mold of Ancelotti because this club is silly. A "keep the boat steady" guy is the only type that would work here.

  • I’m starting to realize some of the people in here aren’t true fans of the club, but rather fans of the manager roulette

  • I’m so ashamed of this club.. what happened to us. 😭

  • Kieran McKenna will be considered for sure.

  • Bring in Gary Neville, top top manager with great ideas of how to fix the club. I hear he has some connections to us as well.

  • Whoever the next guy is, let's not deify him or create a song for him straight away, yeah? 

  • Martin ONeill and Roy Keane

  • Get everyone associated with Ineos the hell out.

  • I want Amorim back.

    Snapping back to the reality of shit ownership, just get someone who prefers the current system so we don’t need to change too much

  • Diego Simeone. Who I doubt will ever come.

  • Chelsea and Man Utd switching managers? 🤔

  • We're going to get a Yes man to the board - we're going to get Southgate... those that have a plan to build a team for them won't happen - look what happened to Amorim, EtH, Mourinho, they all wanted players to fit their style, but look what they got, second-class garbage players. There's no point fretting about which Head Coach we're going to get, nothing will change unless the board and co have left

  • I'll be seeing you guys this time next year when we are discussing the next manager!

  • It literally doesn't matter. Board just showed that no one is going to be given long term support to change the club. We will continue to mindlessly hire and fire whoever with this board and ownership and at best have little purple patches where we could finish top 4 or win the FA Cup. It's a very dark day. It's over. The only thing saving us would be a law to limit debt forcing the Glazers to sell.

  • Doesn't matter, they won't get enough time to make a real difference anyway.. So on that basis, i want King Eric for the entertainment value in press conferences.

  • Ole with Carrick and Keane - Interim.

    Tuchel or Xavi - Perm.

  • Marco Rubio is going to have to be the Secretary of State, President of Venezuela, Shah of Iran, and Head Coach of Manchester United. 😂

  • Kieran McKenna

  • Always down for Mourinho.

  • I think we need Aladdin at this point - 1st wish... Glazers out - bring some $$$ who actually know about football

  • For the first time i honestly don't give a fuck. Im utterly deflated with this club now.

  • Fletcher for now. If results are poor give it to Ole but only either one to the end of the season.

    In the summer get Tuchel once the world cups over.

  • We don’t need a new manager or coach we need new OWNERS! What is it when you do the same thing over and over again and expect different results?

  • Question is, who would want to actually come manage this shit show of a club with incompetent owners

  • People asking for De Zerbi need to fuck off imo, go support someone else. We already got rid of the rapist, we don’t need the rapist sympathiser now 

  • I think long term they want TT. 

    For interim, I’d love to see Ole back. Problem there is he risks doing so well he gets the permanent job again and then, well….

  • Ideally someone like Emery but there is no fucking way Ineos give next coach the amount of control over transfers Emery has at Villa so it will be either someone young like Amorim or a yes man who won't question anything

  • With how toxic and ridiculous MU is right now just pick whoever available, that guy will get a shit ton of money in next 2 years after he get fired like Amorim and all the previous coaches. This club is a fkcing joke

  • Get Ole or Carrick for interim.
    Hoeness for permanent manager

  • This isn't what I'm wanting but I'm not even joking when I say I think Jim Ratcliffe will definitely want Gareth Southgate, he's already gone on record in the past about admiring him as a manager, he's a yes man who will do whatever INEOS ask of him and will never publicly out them or bad talk them in the press and I guess a positive is he could make a better dressing room environment as he did with the England squad, I just absolutely hated to watch England's style of play while he was in charge, even if he did take us the closest we've been to trophies in a lifetime, tournament football is too hard to compare to League football to know how it would be.

  • Someone very “elite” if only to demonstrate that the manager isn’t the primary problem.

  • Bring Ole back we'll walk the league.

  • I would unironically like Ole back

  • Quite a few saying OGS as caretaker. I can’t get with that.

    Ole gave us great times as a player and some enjoyable runs as a manager, but the end of it left a little sour note for some.

    I would really hate him to come here, fail (even as caretaker), and the toxic section of the fanbase to try to taint his whole United legacy again.

  • Eric Cantana

  • Ole in!

    Arguments: • He is the manager after Ferguson who has excited United fans the most, and he knows everything about what “the United way” is. Pace and fun. • Like EtH, he reached finals again and again. • He had to deal with one of the most toxic squads we’ve had in modern times. • He had to deal with the worst sporting leadership we’ve ever had. • He is the perfect manager for the new sporting leadership. Or is he? • He beat top teams and top managers. • He led United to third and second place before being thrown under the bus by his own players, who are now finally out of the club. • He got players from the academy going. The kids in Paris ❤️ • 54% win rate at Man United. Not bad numbers over 168 matches, 91 wins. • The post-Ferguson manager with the most matches won by a margin of 4+ goals.

    • Last but not least: who else?

  • Carrick most likely interim. 

    In the summer I want Nagelsmann 

  • Who's mental enough to even want to do it?

  • Fletcher will keep it till the end of the season

    Will be a shoot out between Carlo/Glasner or Alonso.

    I feel like Xavi A will be sacked before seasons out and then do we pick him up? Who knows

    Tough year to recruit a manager with world cup on

  • Surprised I haven't seen many mention the Bournemouth manager , plays great attacking football. I know alot of these managers dont make the step up but most of them play with 10 men behind the ball so when the make the step up and have to play attacking football they are found wanting .Iraola is different i think .

  • At this point just dissolve the entire club, salt the earth at Old Trafford, erase our history from the books, and let another club inherit the pain because whatever this is, it sure as hell isn’t Manchester United anymore.

  • Another “reset” with waiting 3/4 years again… and ANOTHER season written off half way through, what is the point now, how many season have been written of in last 5/6/7 years, just don’t bother let the players manage themselves at this point, I don’t know about everyone else but it really doesn’t matter anymore

  • Throw the book at Nagelsmann or Tuchel after the World Cup.

  • I’d take Ole or Ruud as interim. We need a person who holds weight in the game but also will understand the short nature of their tenure and look to just have fun with it. Both these guys did that well when called upon and most importantly got results.

    Next season it gets difficult. I’d say Glasner and De Zerbi are the names that come most easily to mind in terms of who would be most readily available. As an outside shout, I think Howe would work wonders with this squad, work well with the board and the Geordies are falling out of love with him. In reality, I wouldn’t mind a cheeky score on Southgate right now. I’d hate it but at I’d at least get a couple hundred quid

  • A young fairly unknown coach, not a manager. Hopefully we’ve never heard of him. Amorim coming in with his 3 at the back system into a structure that wants him to be a coach is the failure.

    We need someone like Klopp, massive focus on the players as individuals, the job is 90% man management. These kids already know how to play football, they just don’t know how to get their head in the game. Don’t bring in your system. How would that ever work?

    We need someone who works with what he has and makes magic. Anyone can walk in and say “I play like this, now you adjust or die”, that’s not a leader.

  • I admire ole just as much as the next man…. But surely people aren’t that dim to realise that ole’s tenure wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows!? He literally says in his exit interview, the final game against Watford there were players who, at half time, put their hands up and said they didn’t want to play. Players very clearly didn’t want to play for him towards the end and the performances showed!

    Was tactically out of his depth when we came up against the bigger and better teams and when in a final… couldn’t get a win! Let’s not forget…. Recently sacked from besiktas so don’t be kidded on by all that

  • Let’s give Fletcher a good run till the end of the season. We tend to do good when someone with United DNA is in charge, even if it’s just interim.

    Next? They need to be someone adaptable and can manager big names. Once you get on United, you have a big name.

  • No top class Manager will want to work for Wilcox and Berrada as a head coach. So they will get someone who is willing to shut their mouth, follow instructions and have no say so on buying or selling players. Nothing will change till the club is sold. INEOS has no clue what they are doing.

  • Bring Ole back, atleast I had fun watching the team play and I genuinely wanted to watch the games! Now I just feel like I watch to see the shit show unfold

  • Don’t care. They won’t get the backing to succeed.

  • Ideally I wouldn’t want interim until end of season. Hopefully get a new full time manager in before end of Jan.

    I’m not sure there’s a manager around that I’d love to have. Not against any of the below - Maresca - Glasner - Emery - Xavi - Xabi Alonso - Zidane

    Some like Xavi & Zidane just out of curiosity.

    I’m sure many will be against hiring a full manager mid season but currently both Arteta & Emery come in mid season and been successes at their current clubs.

    SAF come in during a season, our best ever manager

    Tuchel at Chelsea, Zidane at Madrid both come in mid season and won CL.

    Klopp was a during season appointment at Liverpool .

    I fear interim managers signal you’re writing off a season but with CL qualification still up for grabs and FA Cup not started yet. I’d rather the club show they’re serious and this season still.

  • How about Martin O'Neil? We need a safe pair of hands till May

  • Ole is apparently interested in returning as interim. I wouldn’t mind him for that. I don’t care who comes in permanently next. Same as I didn’t care who replaced Ten Hag. The only things I know about managers outside United is whether they’re winning games or not, which obviously isn’t the best thing to go off of. I don’t plan on getting attached no matter who it is anyway. We’ll probably have the same media circus around whether they’ should be sacked or backed this time next year.

    In terms of this season, I think we’ll stick around the European places and maybe have a decent run in the cup. I predict Europa League football either way.

  • Ole for interim - and maybe the full time job, if he can get a great assistant coach in with him.

    Zidane is a top name, and a good age, who would likely get instant respect from the players. Also, a number of our players speak French - Bruno, Amad, Yoro, Mbuemo, Cunha… key players in the squad who can share the managers voice.

    Another option for full time manager would be Julian Nagelsmann - very good tactician and flexible with his formations. Downside is that the bayern players complained of his constant shouting and coaching from the sidelines, so i would fear our squad downing tools and getting the manager sacked soon enough.

    Laurent Blanc could be a good shout, knows the club and is well respected.

  • Pep so when he fails we may realize that it’s the players and the Board

    1. Emery

    2. Nagelsmann

    3. Glasner

  • No good coach will be willing to join us. There’s no stability in the club . We won’t be winning anything major anytime soon

  • Let’s get Xavi, but as a player not a manager

  • Ole as interim. Someone like Nagelsmann in the summer.

    But I would 100% take Glasner.

  • Xavi if he agrees to a deal through the end of the season with an extension triggered if they finish top 5 - otherwise whoever is the safest pair of hands as interim.

    Fletcher if he wins the next two I guess.

    Feels like INEOS have thrown away yet another season though - the time to sack Amorim was the summer..just like Ten Hag 12 months previous.

  • Ruben Amorim

    Edit: Dumb fuck ass club

  • I guess it depends what they want. Regardless though, until they fix the midfield it won’t matter.

    I could honestly see them going for Hürzeler if they want to continue with the “young and long term” profile.

  • Bruno player manager, or we could offer Ronaldo €500k/day, 15% of the club and 20% of our souls

  • Scholes and Butt both said yes when they were asked on Roy Keane being next United manager.

    Remember that next time scholes starts criticising everything again after one bad game

  • Ferguson should come back for one last run

  • Julian Nagelsmann. After wc.

  • Doesn't matter, let's just get someone in quickly so we can get on with the task of totally ruining things.

  • Ruben Amorim

  • Interim? Honestly? Probably OGS at this point to get some confidence back into the team and hopefully recreate his first interim stint and end on a high. Failing that then Carrick in the hope that he’d continue his undefeated record from when he last managed us as caretaker. I wouldn’t want either to stay on as permanent manager though.

    Permanent manager for me would be emery - the work he has done at Sevilla, Villarreal and villa is nothing short of remarkable. He handled the “weight” of expectations at PSG well. I’ll look past arsenal as a blip.

  • I feel like the only serious answer to this quesiton at this point is Oliver Glasner. Premier League proven, more flexible than Amorim. Creative.

  • Fuck it put Keane in there as interim if we're going to piss about waiting for Glasner on a free in the summer, let's have some fun !
