I voted Wenger and I don't think Southgate is that bad of a hire either. He's done well with England. I didn't vote Poch/Zidane because I don't think they'll be willing to accept the job. I don't see why voting for FOTMs like Jardim makes any sense personally. Look woo hoo he won't a French league title, got muscled out by the board and then got fired when his team sucked.
I swear people on this forum just want to look hip and vote for the "next big thing" for managers instead of actually using their head.
It would almost be worth appointing Wenger for the comedy factor alone.
Tuchel just joined a new club this year, timing is irrelevant. Make an offer or not, all that matters ultimately. Manager wants to sign on or doesn't. So whether Nagelsmann is going to another club this summer is no different than a manager at a new club. I'd wager getting Nagelsmann would be much easier than luring Tuchel from PSG. Change my mind.
If Utd have cited one of the reasons for Jose leaving is his poor style of football, then I don’t think we’ll be heavily considering people like Allegri, Simeone or Conte... and rightfully so, we’ve had some right shite football for the past 5 years and even Sir Alex’s last season or two weren’t the prettiest at times.
It’s gonna be the likes of Pochettino, Jardim and Zidane... Zidanes gone off the radar for the past few weeks and there’s no significant coverage on Jardim so early signs seem to say the board are going balls out for Pochettino.

Under no circumstances is thinking Southgate should manage Utd using your head
Ha you wouldn't take Jardim because he's 'FOTM' but you would take Southgate of all managers . That makes a lot of sense .
And voting for wenger .
as if 3 dinosaur managers weren't enoughWe can't go for Southgate.
Southgate is doing well because he changed the formation that England had played with for many years ie the 4231/433 - & noticed the change of teams across the league playing more 352. Even if they don't line up like this; defensively they do this much more often.
England has a philosophy over the past years & that's been rotated at spurs, Liverpool United, Chelsea & more lightly at City as well as at many of the smaller clubs. This is only going to get stronger with the young players that are coming in - having a clear structure & a formation to fit to.
Southgate's tenure at England is not representing his capability to manage a Club like Manchester United.
Southgate is doing well at England - because England are at a better state, with every single club carrying a philosophy of how they play football plus a very technical & team looking English side in comparison to the old individualistic style of football. Southgate is also an ex player of the English national team & is at home there.
Said it before & say it again - the moment a club (most likely us or spurs) use the 352 & takes it up on the European stage to the highest level - that's the day the English national team will be able to win the upcoming cups.

Wenger has done nothing extraordinarily in the last 10 years and he's never adapted. If that's "using your head" then I'd rather go for Jardim who actually won the league when no one expected him toBut I want Wenger to manage United just for the meme alone
Pochettino is my number one choice. However, from now until the end of the season I am rooting for Ole to perform so well that they give the job to him. It'll be fantastic if one of our own brings about the post Sir Alex revival. I feel none of the managers so far got what Manchester United is all about. With Ole, I already have no such worries.
And my expectations are not top 4 or a CL win or a FA cup win. Good attacking performances where we look like a team rather than a bunch of individuals will be enough for me. This is the sixth season and we haven't looked like a team for any prolonged period of time under either of the three managers. It has only been in a few spurts here and there.

I stopped here.
When Mourinho was the manager I was supportive of him because he was the manager. But when we have come to the point of no return then we should think more carefully about his successor. I heard so many complaint about his defensive-minded tactics, so are we really going to repeat the same mistake again, by appointing Conte, or any other Italian managers? In fact, I am against Simone as well.
How about Pep, before I get slammed I recall reading it was his dream to manage United so why not?
If he fails to win champs and there is encouragement from the Utd board then he could be tempted.

He also had most of the best players in the world in most positions. Those types of players have excellent game management and are incisive when needed.
And only 19 for Solskjaer...
He's not leaving City to join us while he's under contract. I think Pep Guardiola would need to have moved to another club before there's a chance he comes here.
I'm the 1,000th voter for Mauricio Pochettino.
We need a manager with a proven record in the task at hand.
In Ferguson's appointment the task was to find someone with experience of breaking the monopoly of one team winning all the time (Liverpool) and challenging for honours in Europe.
Ferguson had taken Aberdeen and challenged the dominance of the Old Firm and won a European trophy.
Our challenge now is to challenge City and outplay them despite their financial dominance. We also have a large number of talented youngsters to being through and develop.
Poch has brought through young players but his team has choked at vital times. Jardim matches some of this challenge but is unproven in Premier league.
I'm hovering between the two....Poch needs silverware to win it outright for me.

Allegri ( winner + best coach to get the best out of Pogba ) or Favre ( fantastic football )
Excuse the self-quoting; I've been hearing a bit of the hoary old "Premier League experience" cliche thrown around in relation to new managers (especially as a reason to opt for Pochettino), so thought I'd repost this list I put in one of the United Hour threads a couple of months back:
It's worth remembering that Zidane is a very high profile endorsee of Adidas.
Maybe Adidas will pay half of Zidane’s wages like they did when we resigned Ronaldo!!!
Can tell most of you didn't even bother to read my post. This is a poll on who will be the next United manager, not who we want. I agree I'll take Southgate over Jardim because I'm sorry winning a French league is almost as pointless as winning a Dutch one. Second his talented players were sold the team was changed to relegation candidates.Ha you wouldn't take Jardim because he's 'FOTM' but you would take Southgate of all managers . That makes a lot of sense .
And voting for wenger .
My top choices are Zidane and Poch. Heart says Zidane and brain says Poch, unfortunately I don't think we get either. Neither manager will join the clusterfeck that is our club currently. Leaving us very few options of top managers across the world so we will be stuck with lesser candidates.
That leaves Wenger who at least as shown he can finish in the top 4 which is what this club wants.
Sorry to burst your bubble of chuckling but if you can't even attempt to infer why I vote him, great deduction skills on you especially when I spelled it out in my post.
not right now. He'll be at Leipzig. He doesn't want the Bayern Munich gig either at the moment. He's 31. He's doing things the right way. He'll go to Leipzig to work with his mentor Ralf Rangnick again. Then we'll see. But Nagelsmann is a no-go for any team right now, including the one team everyone expects him to go to above anyone - Bayern Munich.
Poch currently at 57.4%, 1005 votes.
Ole currently at 1.3%, 23 votes.

I voted for Marco Rose but will change to Ole if we carry on seeing exciting and progressive football.Poch currently at 57.4%, 1005 votes.
Ole currently at 1.3%, 23 votes.

Ole's first five games:
vs Cardiff
vs Huddersfield
vs Bournemouth
vs Newcastle
vs Reading
Let's see how many votes he's got after that run

So did other managers at Real and none came close to replicating what Zizou did.
Carlo won CL and reached semi final the next season.
That's good.
But it's not 3 straight CL titles and a league + CL double(something Real Madrid haven't achieved since the 50s). And their league form in 2015-2016 better Barcelona's when Zidane took over.
Zidane is not flawless, but let's not undermine his achievements.
Plenty of people managed Real since their Galactico 2.0 project and none could do what Zidane did.
Carlo stayed only 2 seasons and did pretty great in CL
No discredit of Zidane and he's a great manager but I don't think he's the one we need right now all honestly. Maybe 2-3 year latter when we have a settled squad that wants a great in game manager to take them to titles.
Carlo did do good.
I'm not 100% certain Zidane is right to take over either.
I just can't warm up to Pochettino though.
I wouldn't mind if we went left-field with someone who plays attacking and proactive football.
...if it's us vs Real Madrid in a head to head for Pochettino, does anyone give us a cat's chance in hell of winning?
No, unless he himself wants to stay in England.
I not voting until 14 Jan White hart lane game
Having been through the past several years post-SAF, I realize that the ability to rise above the gutter British press, having a positive outlook and holding strong to Utd historical values and style really counts for a lot. Just seeing the pressers from Ole shows what a class act he is - very direct, passionate and positive. I really missed that since SAF. I think the closest we came to see SAF sounding “down” was after that loss to Real Madrid - the game we should have really won. Not getting carried away on Ole here but we need a personality like his. My personal preference is Poch but I don’t think we will get him.
You probably said the same about us getting Pogba.
Real Madrid don't always get who they want.
Allegri and Pochettino turned them both down this past summer.
Because Zidane spent years there as a player and then went on to manage the reserve team. He knows exactly what it takes to be a player for the club and what’s expected in regards of culture, a lot like a certain Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for us.
He managed Middlesbrough and got an easy world cup draw. Why shouldn't get the United job?
