Sorry, didn't know you meant objectively "who would you pick to manage unnamed club".It's a good answer and has some things I agree with, like bringing in coaching staff.
However you're still speaking specifically about United, and I did say to remove United context when answering. You've given reasons why you'd rate a manager as more ideal for us, but I was curious about how you rate one manager to be better than another.
So independent of Utd, would you rate said hipster managers higher than Ole? Why or why not? And if not them, what managers would you rate higher than him?
If we presume the variables are consistent, let's say, oil-rich club looking to build something from nothing, loads of cash and we can hire a coach and his DOF, I'd go for Pep. He's proved he can do it at many clubs given the right environment. After that I'm not sure. Klopp, Pochettino or Nagelsmann are 'project' managers and given 5 years will most likely get you to where you want to be, so take your pick out of any of them if you're looking to commit long term. At the same time, Nuno, Wilder, and Howe have proven then can improve a team given the time, support and investment.
Solskjaer probably wouldn't get a look in to be honest, even if he wins the treble at United next season, he's just not going to fit for anyone else.
It's also hard to say who's 'better' really. I don't think there's much between managers at the top level. Some get lucky with oil rich clubs and massive resources or a good DOF, and some get handed Arsenal instead. Some also take jobs they're not ready for, looking at you Moyes.
