I voted for attacking manager. However, the main criterion is that a manager is top class. Anything less and it's a bit pointless. It's no good playing attacking football if you don't have a very good defense. Liverpool is a very good example. They've got super attacking full backs, but one of the best - if not the best - central defender in world football, who is screened by 2-3 workhorse midfielders. The attack as a cohesive unit and really do defend from the front. And it's also no good having only one way of playing - you have to have some modicum of flexibility to counter different opponents.
With Jose, he would have been a better fit when SAF retired, someone who could ensure that we'd not free fall into mediocrity. But he arrived long after that decline begun and we are now a rather mediocre team.
There are big name managers out there, like Allegri, who could no doubt make us a better team and get much much better results than what we've become accustomed to now. But I'd rather someone who is going to revolutionise how we attack in the final third, something that's been a problem for over 6 years now.
People are prone to quip that there are so many managers who'd be better than Ole, but that doesn't mean they'd be good enough. I think the same problem applies to managers as players, being at United brings more pressure than almost any other place. The next manager will simply have to be someone who has already proven himself and is extremely confident.
