Conte too.
L'Equipe : Zidane wants United job / all spaculation no updates
- Thread starter Hellboy
- Start date
I would love Zidane but he has never shown signs that he can fix a team before so I don't know why you would think that. Poch didn't really have to fix much either.
Everyone is always on about trophies and success. Yes that's great but they are a bonus not a right and we were spoiled for years. Now it's a far more competitive game at home and abroad. Yes we should be competing but we don't have a divine right to expect to win.
Imho the most important things are getting the club spirit back, performances on the pitch back. Getting team spirit back. Players wanting to play and enjoying playing for the biggest club in the world. Fans wanting to go to matches and leaving fulfilled , win or lose. Get that fighting spirit back and to feel proud to be a Manchester United fan again and not instantly have to go on the defensive all the time.
Sort that out and trophies will follow. If they don't then at least we will have tried and given our best. What we have now is embarrassing and the general bad feeling throughout the team on the pitch to the stands and to the forums is a disgrace. We deserve better.

Pochettino has recently signed a long term contract. He isn't available
Paddy to be Zidane's translator?
Why else is he hanging out with Ed?

He seems like the obvious fit for the club right now, he'd have no doubt been a hero for the likes of Pogba and Martial, he likes developing young players so Rashford will be in good hands too and he'll come in with a lot of confidence given how he left Madrid
Still think we're at best a few more games from anything happening

It's a win win if we get him right now. If he does poorly as caretaker no one can blame him because of the mess we are in, if he does well he'll get nothing but praise for it.
Basically anyone but our current manager.

Get him in! But only after firing Woodward and our board.
Well at least we'll have some kind of fun

As if Zidane would come here as a caretaker manager...
He's everything we don't need right now. We need someone to come in and refocus our approach, someone to sit with the players and discuss their role within a system. We need more than cheerleading.
As funny as it sounds I would take Wenger for the rest of the season. Think the players would feel like a breath of fresh air having him instead of Mou
This is what I think. We need a great man manager right now because morale is pretty non-existent it seems. I would advise the club to hire the very best available coaches they can find to help him. Would keep McKenna/Carrick, but we're in dire need of some good technical, progressive coaching imho.
Let a man dream
Same. We might still win feck all but at least we might play some football.
It's sounds funny and it is funny.
Did you see his Arsenal side last season?
One season doesn’t change a history of identity that his sides have had - quick attacking football based on intelligent movementDid you see his Arsenal side last season?
Why not give it to Carrick as a caretaker and make some long term plan and appoint a manager according to that plan instead of going for the 1st free big name. Sounds crazy I know.
These sort of posts are baffling. Why do I see multiple people suggest Wenger to be our manager in 2018? It's bonkers.
Would be far better for this season as caretaker then struggling through with Mourinho. At least we'd get some attacking football, there would be a sense of relief around the club with the cnut finally gone, and we might even sneak into 4th
Obviously not saying give him the permanent job. But as a caretaker it'd be perfect IMO.
His later years were plagued with ineffectual football that also didn't deliver results. If we're sacking Mourinho, we should probably understand it's best to avoid managers who appear to have allowed the game to pass over them.
No zidane. Alex back for the rest of the season. That itself is a top 4 finish.
For years until his departure, Wenger couldn't even get his Arsenal squad to grow a backbone, but some think it'll be a good idea to have him come in and manage a team that needs to be steadied and needs a manager than can instill authority? Right.
There are loads of actually reasonable reasons for it (as caretaker). Our season is in the trash already, lets not sugar coat it. Wenger as caretaker would give a huge sense of relief to the players and the mood at the club with Mourinho finally being gone, we'd have a manager that plays attacking football (with actual defensive midfielders that he hasn't had at Arsenal in ages), he always liked using young flair type players which we have a lot of, and we might even sneak into 4th place with a big change of mentality like that. Nobody is saying give it to him long term. As caretaker? In a heartbeat I would take it. Might sound strange, but it makes sense in a lot of ways.
Far better than Mourinho this season or Mourinho's last season at Chelsea...Did you see his Arsenal side last season?
Anyway, you reach a point where everything becomes stale and there is no way to fix it. Mourinho is long past that here. Wenger reached that point eventually with Arsenal and they both needed to stop with each other. Getting him in as caretaker is short term enough to get his benefits without worrying about his long term flaws that arose at Arsenal eventually.
Hi at this point I would be happy with anyone other than Jose Moyes or Louis .
I somehow doubt he'll be wanting the role...
What?
Sir Alex has had a seriously health scare. Last thing he is doing is returning to management especially to this mess.
He shouldn't even be allowed to watch this United play, let alone manage them.
Initially I was all in for Zidane but the club really need to take their time and find the right manager...one thing is he's gotta be attack minded for starters..sick if this shite defensive style we implement week in week out
How did the board let it get out if of hand like this???? This is Man Utd ffs....and we are now a mid table club getting run over by Wolves and Derby.

I’d take him as a caretaker till end of season. I don’t expect him to make us contenders again but he can certainly improve our most glaring faults.
Could Zidane fix Utd? unlikely,he will be inheriting the same old dross called Young,Fellaini,Lindelof,Jones,Valencia etc and a board quite frankly more interested in the share price!
is that cnut thing necessary? Do you think Wenger would take a caretaker job at United? If we only want a breath of fresh air and nice football we can give it to Carrick.Would be far better for this season as caretaker then struggling through with Mourinho.

didnt stop him to win some champions league titles did it ? Some smart people say that it doesn't matter what you say but actually which way you say it or how it sounds. I am pretty sure he would get the best out of Pogba, some top top players might wanna come to join him at United too for our comeback. He would need probably just three players to get us challenging. RW, striker, CB and possibly another fullback and I am sure he would be backed...
BTW what's Zizou's record with youngsters/promoting kids? I have a feeling he would play Pereira but promoting kids form the academy at some point?
Honestly, yeah, with Mourinho from a footballing perspective, it is. On a personal level, I don't know the guy, but I don't really care about that either. Everything as a manager from him is pretty cnutish. He picks fights with everyone, he insults other managers all the time, over the years his career is littered with unsavoury moments like the eye poke in the classico, he calls out his players in public, deflects blame and so on. From a football managers perspective, a cnut is exactly what he is.
Not sure tbh. Wenger would have officially retired had he wanted to be done with football after Arsenal, which he hasn't, so maybe he would take a caretaker job for this season. What better way for him to repair his reputation than taking over after Mourinho at United and getting us back on track somewhat while playing good football? I see a lot of positives for both sides (as caretaker... but knowing us, we would give him a 5 year contract after 1 good season).
We will be pulling out a bayern then
I can't see how anyone in their right mind would want the job at the moment.
Unbelievable suggestion.
