No, we need an attacking manager, someone who identifies with the values of the club.
Is Diego Simeone the best man to take the club forward?

Absolutely not.
The next managerial choice should define where we want to go as a club.
No more quick fixes and no more defensive football. It’s not the United way and getting someone like Simeone will only prolong the journey of getting back where we need to be.
We used to be the most exciting team in the league and we’ve now had to get used to being one of the worst. It sucks.
Simeone will not fix that.

I like him more than Mourinho but I expect he'd set us up with 4 CMs across midfield and counterattacking.
Thats obviously miles better than what we currently have, but not exactly the 4 striker Sir Alex way

Yes. Anyway my issue with Simone is that he'd hardly get us on the edges of our seats. For me that's the key.
He’s basically Jose’s successor as the best reactive manager in the world but I would prefer someone more proactive. Not a bad choice, mind.
I’m also not sure about those sources linking him to United. I think personal connection is very important to him and he wanted to manage Inter first.

Well, he's great at what he does : scoring a goal and defending for their lives for it.
He's not the right fit for us due to that but he's great and very successful. Football is played in different ways.
No after LVG and Mourinho we need someone who wants to attack, I'm convinced too many of our players are still playing thinking LVG is their manager
Best manager in the world imo.
Feck no. Not the style I want at all.
Brilliant manager and has achieved a lot with the resources hes had at Atletico but hes not the kind of manager I want to see at United.
Lol
No
No, please god, no. No!
No sireee. Great manager but he’s another underdog style manager and just not the right fit for the club. As a fanbase we need a attacking manager it is as simple as that.. we’ve let Pep, Klopp and Sarri go to rivals when tactically they would have been ideal to modernise this club. We can not afford to take a step back or stay stagnant once again.
Issue is who is available at the moment that’s is a visionary attacking wise? I think Zidane would be a safe choice if we want top 4 but I would like to see us get a young manager with a fearless attacking approach.

. 3 years people moan here about defensive approach. Even in season one when we won stuff. If Simeone comes here it would be meltdownYeah I'm sure he will be getting us back to playing free flowing attacking at Old Trafford. After all the managers and play styles we have tried, Simeone would be the next mistake.
He'd be too defensive for our fabs
Nope. He will neither win trophies, nor get us to play attacking football.
Never...no.
I want to enjoy watching us play.

If you thought Jose was pragmatic and defensive, wait for this man to come in 
Well. He has a plan. It would be a start.
Thread can't have enough Nos
NO
NO
Why would you want anothe defensive manager?? Havent people learned yet?
This.
So basically, what you all want is a manager who attack, attack, attack ?
Simone is like Mourinho up another two levels.
Crazy suggestion, what if we have one thread to discuss options in, and not one for every manager out there?
Wishful thinking talking about all the managers..
But Mourinho ain't going anywhere for now.

This 100%. Simones tactics are to win 1-0. Park the bus and get a lucky goal.
He's great, and he'd turn us in to a right set of dogged bastards, unlike the current give-no-shits style we're seeing now. And his black on black Johnny Cash look is the bollocks.
But I'd still rather not him. Not that I know who we should get instead, just not him. I like what he does, just not for us.

Yup, sign him!
Absolutely not.
Great manager but personally would shift to an attacking style. Only time I enjoy watching Atletico is when they play the big guns.
Not for me. Too defensive. I don't mind his two banks of four after so long of us attempting other things. But I feel also like he's too much a wild one also. We tried and got it wrong with the meek Moyes, but I still feel like that's the sort of character we need to be going for.
Top manager but he’s too defensive for my liking.
No
No chance, we don't want another defensive manager.
We want entertainment.

Diego Pablo Simeone would be the perfect manager of... Inter Milano
I think he'll be a poor fit for United tbh... he works in a very specific set of circumstances and not everyone an thrive under him at Atletico. I mean Diego Costa and Griezmann clearly love him but I think United need someone with fresh views and a more attacking mind. If/when Jose gets the ever more inevitable looking boot you should be thinking Zidane, Poch (hasn't won anything but maybe deserves a club where he will be financially backed). I think even Conte might do a decent job.
Surely if people are advocating to get rid of José, they don't want another defensive manager in his place? Simeone is probably even more pragmatic. Not to say he's a bad manager because he's obviously been successfully. He's by no means a guarantee of success, and most certainly wouldn't bring progressive football.
