There are no high expectations on my behalf anymore. If he signed a right winger he would have made it in my opinion.
I didn't vote for Silva!! 
Must say, going through that names, it's pretty underwhelming list.
People underestimate the pressure of managing a club of the size and with the expectations on United. For example, Moyes was a broken man with 4 weeks of the job; he looked physically shaken having lost the City and Liverpool games.
Genuinely surprised at the Silva lead, too. He had a good start to the year, but he's not exactly pulling up trees at Watford and again can only see him succumbing to the inevetible pressure managing us brings.
In the list above there's only a few names there that I would think could truly handle the pressured almost all of them are not what most here would call United manager material. Ancelotti could do it, maybe Simeone, too. Giggs would be OK pressure-wise but I'd predict a shambles management-wise. Pellegrini could likely handle it, too.
Pochettino has only really come under real pressure once in his career whilst he was at Espanyol. The start to the season he was 'sacked' was shocking (something like 8 defeats in 10) and he left the club 'by mutual consent'. Whilst at Southampton, he over-achieved if anything which led him to being poached by Spurs. But at neither of those two clubs is the relentless pressure to win, and win constantly. Yet at Spurs, whenever they're up against it his team loses discipline with alarming regularity and part of that must come from the coaching side, or rather, perhaps a lack of maturity in some aspects of the coaching. Whilst tactically he is a good manager who gets his team playing the kind of football that would go down well at Old Trafford, those reasons are why I don't think he's the shoe-in for success here many seem to think he would be.

Gotta be a mistake or the poll names were edited. Was 57% for Poch just 2 hours ago
It is saying i voted for Silva which seems a bit odd.. I dont remember doing so but i suppose its possible..
Agree with all of this, though I’d put Tuchel in there as well. A focused and committed Jose would be best of all.
LvG’s a weird one. In other places he’s had fallouts over having players he didn’t rate foisted upon him. We gave him carte blanche and his recruitment was awful.
Rigged!!
Is there a claw back clause on his payout if we re-sign him?
zidane will probably be sacked around the same time as jose so Ill go with finally signing Zizou
Jesus if people disliked our football under LVG or even our football now, I hope they know what we'd be getting into if we ever have Simeone as our manager.
Tom Tuchel - What we need to revitalize our failing attacking game, hopefully some of Jose's defensive autodrive remains with the team for a good balance 
Can't remember voting for Silva...
Honestly don't see many good alternatives out there now, maybe Zizou if he loses his job.
Maybe i'm being romantic, but i have grown into the idea of letting the class of 92 do it.
They know the club, are respected, know what the fans wants and expects.
Would it work? Probably not.

If Tottenham finish 6th this season,would you still want Pochettino?
Who is voting for Silva ffs.
Sarri please.
Sarri please.
So weird!
For some reason i'm unable to vote!
Anyways i go for Sarri.
Anyways i go for Sarri.
Sean Dyche please 
Tuchel or Allegri
Simeone, Allegri would both be guaranteed great choices, Pochettino would be a very good choice no questions asked, Sean Dyche definitively deserves a chance at a big club now.
There's no shortage of candidates, really.
Underlying problem remains that no matter the appointment, your club needs to realize that long-term management cannot be taken for granted and thus you NEED some sort of CEO or DoF with footballing competence who can guarantee some kind of stability in terms of squad planning.

Probably a load of Liverpool fans thinking he might get us relegated.I didn't vote for Silva!!
Something is wrong with that poll.
I remember voting for Poch but it now shows me voting for Silva! It seems others got the same problem as well.

Quick - share this link with a load of Twitter sports "journalists" - especially the Express. There will be a click bait article up within the hour...
"You'll be SHOCKED at which Premier League manager Man United fans want to replace Jose!"
"You'll be SHOCKED at which Premier League manager Man United fans want to replace Jose!"
Some of the people you want, their football is not exactly great. Simeone? Really? Ancelotti? He doesn't know how to rebuild a side and Bayern fans were relieved when he went. He takes over failing teams who are just about ready? United still need a lot of work and I think he would definitely need a DOF. Tuchel? Dortmund were awful when he left. I would rather Jose stopped.
I didn’t vote for Silva either. Someone’s swapped him and Poch.
Anyway, I believe Jose will remain for the next season then leave. After that we'll need to get a DOF because no one in this list of the managers have enough strong personality in front of the board to organize transfers. Allegri had let the Milan board sell most of the team and enter their crisis and he didn't spoke till he left. Carlo has been the same in Madrid and Bayern, so we'll need to get a DOF to take the job of transfers and don't depend on the manager much.
After that the perfect choice seems to be Poch, but I can't see him leaving. He seems very committed to Spurs job even if their stars leave I can't see him moving to United at the moment, so the most realistic choice will be Allegri. Allegri will carry on from Jose and keeps on the same track so no need for a rebuild. He also plays the 3-5-2 and 4-2-3-1 mostly so not much will be changed. We'll need to add few more world class players in the attack and we'll be fine under him. He's not gonna last much at Juve for sure and unless Chelsea snatch him first he'll be available.
Just to be clear he also has his problems in match tactics from time to time like the last CL final, and as I said he has no personality in front of the board regarding transfers so getting a DOF will be a must. Otherwise as long as Poch isn't available yeah he's the perfect choice for me.
Simeone will make those who always complain about Jose's defensive tactics go mad. Allegri is much, much more balanced in his style than him but still pragmatic.

Why do we need to preface other managers with this arbitrary vision when many argue Mourinho doesn’t fit it himself? Mourinho’s ‘achievements’ aren’t doing him much cop right now.
Was embarrassed to see I voted for Silva and changed it to Poch just now. From the comments think it was a mistake, I definitely did not vote for the flavour of the month!
Poch is the obvious choice for our next manager.

Carletto would be perfect for this job. Everytime he inherited a team with Jose core, this team gonna be unstoppable. Chelsea 09-10 and Real 13-14 were both destroyers smashing domestic league with the record of 100+ goals while dominating in the Champions League. Only 4 years older than Jose, Ance's days havent passed yet
Is it J. Low ? The WC winner one?
I don't understand two things:
a. Why does this thread exist, as there's no point about it, especially given Jose's recent comments.
b. Why the fek would you vote for Marco Silva? Didn't we hire an unproven manager 3-4 years back and got screwed? Jesus.

4 points from his last 27 as Watford manager. Clearly the guy to take us forward.
Yeah yeah, playing teams off the pitch with the high caliber football at Watford. While his team doesn't play ugly @$$ football, c'mon, it's the manager of freaking Watford.4 points from his last 27 as Watford manager. Clearly the guy to take us forward.
))I didn't vote for anyone. Who's Silva.
Jose Mourinho is here to stay
.Jose Mourinho is here to stay
I'm shocked that Gary fecking Neville got more votes than Tuchel who wouldn't be a bad shout after all
Claude Puel.
Great manager with composure and intelligence. French champion with Monaco. Southampton made the biggest mistake when they sacked him. Now they are fighting relegation.

I didn't either, even though it claims I did. Must be a glitch.I didn't vote for Silva!!
Why does Marco Silva have so many votes?
Good post. I also won't mind Tuchel, plays aggressive football and is tactically much better than Klopp. Only issue is he is a hot head and always had some or other problem with the board. I feel before talking about the next manager we must build a string squad for the next manager to take over. I am glad Jose is bringing some stability which both moyes/lvg did not.Anyway, I believe Jose will remain for the next season then leave.
