Yeah since I put that post out I noticed he had put out the article about various candidates. Does look like Fonseca is the fifth name on the list.I presume the top two is Rangnick & Valverde but not sure which is their preferred choice.

Out of that list it's Ragnick for me.
It would be interesting to see who the majority of United fans favour out of the 5 reported interim candidates.
I do love how a lot of posters can't even spell his name but are convinced that Rangnick is the right choice.
I watched a lot of Dortmund under him (more so for Sancho and Haaland) and more often than not they were very entertaining and looked organised as an attack. That being said I agree, regardless of formation, 3 or 4 at the back they always were a bit of a shambles defensively with a lot of individual errors.
This @Damien
He’s probably hoping to get the job full time, assuming he does well. Or this could be a step towards getting another job in the PL or elsewhere
He's got a job right now, right?
Favre would be a dream come true. Not necessarily for the best of the team but for me personally.
Always wondered how he'd do with an elite team. He would be kind of a risky option, sure. But he surely showed that his tactics and handlings of difficult personalities are top class. Saved Gladbach and Hertha miraculously and was not afraid to bench big characters. Would be a nice interim choice.
Don't know about permanent, though. Dortmund was already too big for him in terms of interest, media etc.
Maybe not the best, but the most interesting option for sure!

It seems like Murtough would want Rangnick as his first choice.
Favre, Rangnick and Valverde are a yes, Garcia and Fonseca don't convince me one bit
Hope we get Ragnarok in soon.
Apparently United want them in before Sunday..
Valverde or Ragnikorak are clearly the best options.
Ragnarok was upon us the minute Sir Alex left mate.
Whoever can get us closest to winning the CL. That should be the benchmark right now.
What's Di Matteo up to these days?
Not remotely interested in us taking Fonseca. Nothing about him.
Rangnick yes. Valverde yes. Favre a decent third option.
Rangnick yes. Valverde yes. Favre a decent third option.
With our board being as incompetent as they are what worries me the most is one of these interim managers goes on a decent run maybe picks up an FA Cup and they make the same mistake twice and end up appointing him manager full time.
Considering now we are in the KO stages of the UCL, what if the interim does a Tuchel & wins it?
Good question, I was thinking about this the other day. Say we go with Ragnick and he wins the double(FA cup and Champions league). Big IF of course, will fans want him as permanent manger if it meant missing out on Caf favorites Ten Hag, Zidane and Pochettino?
You stick to the plan. An interim manager could win the CL, as someone like Roberto Di Matteo did for example. It doesn't automatically make them a good enough manager in the long run, as Chelsea found when they made Di Matteo permanent manager.
Whoever we appoint as interim isn't good enough to be permanent manager. We have enough of a body of evidence already to know this. If they do well as interim manager (even winning the CL) then they were an excellent interim appointment. That doesn't magically make them a different manager to the one you already knew wasn't good enough to be a permanent appointment though.
That would be a tough one. I think it would come down to the fashion in which we won it in, if we won it convincingly by blitzing some serious teams on the way then yes maybe give him it permanently. However if we fluked it and just limped over the line then no.
Sorry but there's no way we could have interviewed multiple people in private over the last month. The fact that journalists know we were even fielding calls and noting which managers would be interested in replacing Ole shows that that wasn't possible. Man Utd simply expected Ole to be able to get enough out of the team to manage through the rest of the season and that didn't happen so they were forced to act quicker. Having the news out there that we were seriously interviewing people would have made the situation even worse.
This current approach is the best of a bad situation. We're working through shortlists of permanent and interim candidates. It's apparent that getting a permanent man is going to be extremely difficult considering the time of season and the calibre of the clubs those people are at. So we have the backup interim options to choose from.
Apparently, it's Murtough and Fletcher involved so that's why. We're letting the football people have an input.

It's a good opportunity for everyone on the list except Rangnick to out their names into the ring for either the permanent United job or another big club job. It'll show the footballing world that they've still got it. It's a win for any of them if they manage to do well with us regardless of whether they get the permanent job or not. Gets their names back out there.
Doubtful. They'd have to be announced by tomorrow the latest and on the training ground by Friday. Otherwise, it'll be the Arsenal match.
We’re stuck with Carrick nowCaf servers won't let me
He's a shit stirrer. Always fighting with his board. Pretty much all the fans of his former clubs hate him.
Not someone I would consider as a caretaker.
Yeah definitely feels like the fact Rangnick already knows Murtough could give him an advantage over the others
Hi Ed!
I'm terrified it's going to be Carrick.
Makes absolutely no sense and surely isn't likely, but you can put nothing past the board...

The problem is gonna be getting him out of Russia, which it seems is gonna be difficult according to reports. Murtough might have to go for his 2nd/3rd choices.
All this talk about shortlists with actual names, interviews etc. makes me confident it won't be Carrick.
I think we all know that the club doesn't have a plan and Woodward is hoping that Carrick beats Chelsea and Arsenal so he has an excuse to keep him in charge until the summer.
Was Valverde the one who presided over a severe drop in training standards at Barca? If so, do not want.
Well in that case get Valverde then
I just think this is negativity for the sake of negativity, when all the noise suggests otherwise? It's draining just how relentlessly miserable this place can be.
