Keep Ole and Phelan.
They get United more than anyone else.

To be able to fully judge Ole, we need to see how the team will be set up in big games, and how will he fare tactically against top managers.
He hasn't been fully challenged yet. Right now he's getting everything right, but long term, we still don't know.

Good to see Ole finally has more votes than Eddie Howe! 
I have a feeling after we play Spurs in a few weeks time Ole will be at #1 in this poll...

I'll wait to the end of the season but Solskjaer does fit well and understands we have to entertain as well.
He's probably the best ex-player to see us through the season and you can't help but like him. There's something special about him and the club and the way he's quietly watched Fergie and also studied the game before coming on and making an impact.

For me it's a choice between Poch or Ole. There's no other manager available who I believe is a better fit than those two. At this point I'd still prefer Poch, but that could change if Ole continues to perform well until the end of the season.
Exactly, you can't spend 6 months searching for a new manager and tell the candidates "but if Ole does well, we won't be needing you".
Can someone tell me why everyone wants poch? He’s never won anything. Spurs plays decent not baffling football. And what makes you think he will succeed at United when 3 managers failed? Ole is a perfect fit, and knows football, coaching Molde. It’s just that he now has better players at his dispute. My worries are that people will still want poch here after a decent run from Solskjær, and our problems returning with a new manager who doesn’t nessecarily mean that we are going to play better. Give Ole the job, he’s perfect for the club and we have something good going on with one of our own.
Still Sparky for me. City, Blackburn, Stoke and Southampton aside, he's a top manager, gets the club and will strengthen us at the back.
I just voted Solskjaer 
The PSG match will be a good match to gauge how far we come. It will be two months under Ole nearly and it will come up against a team with two of the best attackers in the world.
I’m not convinced Pochettino would want to leave a title chasing club with a brand new stadium for the pressure cooker that our club is. Levy is going to do everything to stop him going - pay rise, bigger budget etc and a £40 million pay buy out is chicken feed compared to the risk of letting their most successful manager for years leave?
Because it's a huge decision and as much as everyone associated with the club loves Ole, we can't let our emotions influence our decision. You claim Ole knows football because he coached Molde, Poch has coached in Spain and England, with 3 different teams now. He has also coached at a much higher level than Ole.
3 managers have failed yes, you could use that logic to ask why Ole would succeed too. This is especially true as Ole has failed in the EPL before. We are being silly if we think hiring a manager purely because he 'gets' the club is going to make us successful. The game is far too competitive now, we need a coach who is tactically astute and can bridge the gap with us and the top clubs.
This is coming from someone who would prefer other managers before Poch too. He'd be my second or third choice. Given we have fecked up the managerial thing 3 times, it's even more reason to make sure we don't jump to decisions and let emotions or timing influence our decision too much.
If at the end of the 6 months, Ole has impressed enough to continue as manager, then great, but jumping to conclusions because we beat 3 average to terrible teams convincingly is jumping the gun.
Imo, one of the differences between Ole and the likes of Poch and Zidane is that Ole wants the job regardless of pay, he simply wants to manage the club he loves.
I reckon Ole would be paid less than half of than what Poch or Zidane would want. Would messers Poch or Zidane still want the job on similar terms? .....I doubt it.

So you don't want Poch because he hasn't won anything, yet want Ole, who hasn't won anything of note, just because he's played for the club, despite Pochettino arguably achieving vastly more in superior leagues in managerial terms, half the people here didn't even want Ole before because of the Cardiff situation, three games in and everyone just wants to hand it to him on a silver platter. Really don't get people sometimes, really don't.
The talent is there, he's just been extremely unlucky.
We should appoint a manager on merit not because he loves the club. I don't see how Ole getting paid less has anything to do with it.
I did not say Ole should get the job, but that unlike others, he’d want the job regardless of pay.
The biggest litmus test for a manager is how good a judge of player is he. We don't know that about Ole yet. His record of signing players at Cardiff wouldn't inspire confidence. In fairness it's like comparing a corner shop to Tesco vis a vis Cardiff to MU. He has done nothing yet to deserve criticism and a lot to deserve praise. In fairness to Pochettino his record of signing players at Tottenham is impressive. Aside from letting Sigurdsson go he has been pretty shrewd in his outgoings too. He has worked within budgetary constraints which would not be imposed on him at OT. In Ed Woodward's shoes I wouldn't rule OGS though the end of the season is a better time to judge. Act in haste repent at leisure.
Ole has won titles as a player, Pochettino has not, maybe except copa del rey. Ole was in our club through our most successful reigns. He knows what it takes to be successful. Pochettino is not proven to be successful even though spurs is a good team. I don’t believe that Pochettino has a wider footballing knowledge to what Ole inherit.
Even Moyes had Everton playing good football. As many has stated Cardiff was already doomed to fail and should only be considered as valuable experience. In United it’s different because he is a walking legend, hence why he is respected among staff and players. On top of that he was our reserves coach. Just like pep and zinedine. I think this seasons failure with Mourinho is a blessing in disguise which opened up the opportunity for one of our own to get a chance without the negativity surrounding going for an “inexperienced” manager.
More chance we get Moyes back.
I'd definitely prefer Ole over another manager coming in. Obviously with a DoF in place to shape the future of signings etc.
And if Ole is definitely never to be in the picture then that's fair enough. But if we must pick a new manager, I'd honestly prefer Zidane over Pochettino I think.
I don't expect any manager to come in and last more than 3 seasons anyway. We should learn to accept that.

I voted Ole but am wary that the wheels may still fall off, that SAF is helping out is a big positive for me, Ole will take that many managers would not, the game against Bournmouth we showed a lot more composure and looked less vulnerable at the back, if Ole can settle the defense I am not sure what more you could ask for.... but we need a couple of big matches and a couple of losses to see if it is a workable solution long term.... also like that Carrick is there, I think like all fans I want this wo work more than I can belive it will...... yet!!
It's best to take this question seriously in March or April, not now. There is a case for Ole, and for me he would be the dream signing as our new long-term manager, but we have to see how far he can take this club this season before we can come to any firm conclusion as to whether it's Ole or Pochettino or someone else. I'm quite sure that Ole himself would agree.
We've been linked to Marco Rose in tonight's papers.
Anyone have an idea of his style?

His style is very similar to Jurgen Klopp. A very exciting coach and IMO the best candidate for the job. The story is in the unreliable Sun, but the Journalist behind it is Neil Ashton who presents the Sunday Supplement on Sky. He's actually a decent Journalist and there could be something in this. He's basically saying, if Poch turns us down, then Rose would be considered for the job and the board are admirers of the 42 year old.
I personally hope Poch turns us down if the alternative is Marco Rose.
Thanks. That's the kind of profile I want as well.
Pochettino is first choice for me but I want someone young, progressive and hungry. Someone that see Man Utd as a pinnacle.
if ole gets 4th place, he should get a 2-3 year contract
Not sure why anyone wants to keep OGS at the moment. I understand that he won 3/3 games but usually ManUtd shouldn't drop any points to Huddersfield & Co. . Also each game they conceded to the smaller teams.
There will be Tottenham coming and then 1 month rather smaller opponents (maybe not Leicester) until mid Feb. If he wins all the small games and loses the big that would be still fine. I'd say wait until March to get the tendencies.
If available I'd go with Allegri either way. Imo the best tactician.

The deflated feeling about the club if we go for Allegri, especially if Ole does alright, it would be such a bitter disappointment.
Klopp style. I’ve just read that he prefers currently a 442 diamond midfield style high energy press.
He would be a very interesting option. It is the Sun, though.
I think Rose is close to succeeding Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim. Dietmar Hopp (owner) was full of praise for him the other day.
Interesting, where does that leave Nagelsmann then? I thought Hoffenheim were really happy with him and vice versa.
Edit: Just saw he's joining Leipzig. Isn't he more of a defensive coach? Don't know how he'd fare at Leipzig if so.
He has already agreed to join Leipzig next season.
edit: Nagelsmann is far from being a defensive coach.
Allegri will be a step back towards the defensive shit of mourinho. No thanks
Wow, really? Please show us a link? He’s my no.1 choice!!!
This is exactly my view as well. Rose would be unreal.
The only way we let Rose go elsewhere is if Poch has already signed. No way we should let Rose & Maric go elsewhere. Those two with McKenna? Wow, we’d be sorted.
