Nagelsmann, Pochettino, or Potter for me. Why not? Potter has made more of a team out of Brighton than Solskjaer has made of us.
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I’m not advocating Ole getting sacked at this point but it would be typical of the club in recent years to sack him after Poch has found another club despite him being a free agent for a good while now.
It is glaring obvious. Son and Kane, a product of Pochettino philosophy created 4 and scored 4 last week. As good as MMM is, I can’t see them doing that unless they have Pochettino to develop their skill like he developed Son and Kane. MMM is still ripe and can turn into future ballon d’or winners. That is just one of many aspects Pochettino will improve our team. Ole has lowered our standards so much that his job seem untouchable unless we make it out of the top four. If Woodward and board wants the best for United, he will sack Ole and install Pochettino.exe
None of the names fill me with confidence either. We're fecked.
Allegri, jeez. I supposed we’d defend better. But it’d still be the same expectation of Rashford, Martial or Greenwood to come up with some magic.
Potter?
Wtf
Has Potter got his team playing as a team? Yes. Does he look like he knows how to implement tactics? Yes.
We can't act snobbish about managers when we appointed one whose record was relegating Cardiff, loading them with crap players, and managing Molde.
How many did they score when Poch last faced Brighton with them?
Might as well get Roy Hodgeson in then.
To be fair, can't actually see him doing any worse than Solskjaer. Just pick the same 11 players and we will get the same results and performances.
Irrelevant, but just to entertain that, Spurs wasn’t remotely as shitty as we were today. A team that has £190m worth of defender on the pitch and midfielder that cost as much was completely bossed like if we were playing a men team.
So now we are putting Potter in this basket of new managers. Who is next? Michael Duff from Cheltenham Town?
Do you support United?
No offence to Poch, but it’s like replacing one manager who hasn’t won anything with another who hasn’t won anything.
at least we would see better football for a while and make some progress. With Ole, we are just stagnating with shit football on top
Completely relevant. Bossed 3-0 with a team he had built for years with a £63m record signing in midfield and supposedly £150m+ striker up front.
He's just a troll but sometimes it's worth responding for a laugh.Do you support United?
I sincerely hope Poch is at another club when the time comes for Ole to leave, couldn’t think of anything better
I do, but unfortunately what a United supporter look like nowadays is troubling. No way, I can stay quiet when we have been shite despite spending so much on players. A top red, might advocate for that, but if we want to see positive change, we need to see positive football first. And I don’t see that with Ole. A true United supporter looks like me.Do you support United?
He supports WUM United.Do you support United?
Who do you suggest we get?
Ohhhhh this should be fun
.No it is irrelevant because that result is in the distant past, and we don’t know how a current Pochettino team will perform in today’s atmosphere. They weren’t bossed because they hade the majority of possession and also created decent chance compared to our performance today which was a complete reactive shameful display.
Been clear for awhile and I can place a lot of money on it that if we get either Pochettino or Nagelsmann, they will return United to glory. This will be another Amadaeus moment, if our board make the right call. However, I m less convinced with Nagelsmann despite agreeing a lot with his philosophy.
Who would you replace him with out of interest?
Woodward out before Ole. Anyone who says otherwise is clueless. Even if Ole isn't the man to take us backto winning titles etc the club is finished until the bigger issues are sorted. That's the owners and the board.
Get rid of Woodward and the Glazers if we can do it then we can look at replacing Ole.

You're right, we don't. i'm glad we're not taking the risk that it might look like his terrible last couple of seasons, or at best his trophyless others.
Agree. The issues are above Ole, replacing the manager just perpetuates the issues of the last 6 years.
You aren't as entertaining as you think
What was the last amadaeus moment?
I disagree with Poch, I think unless we sign an out and out world class striker before he comes he will never find him and fail badly here
Jeez...
Somebody who worships a manager that has won the sum total of nothing. That’s what we lesser fans should aspire to is it?
Just so people really understand what they don't appreciate. We know how things were when he took over halfways 2 years ago.
Last year:
3rd in league
Semi Europa League
Semi TheFA cup

Yeah just same thing over and over. Woodward can't be allowed to get away with this again by Ole taking the blame.
Thankfully this time he's installed a man as manager most fans adore so he's fecked it big time. No where to hide now.
He's a Glazer yes man and he's helped to destroy this club.
I don’t know, certainly someone With more guts than Pochettino, specialist in carrying on someone Else team and who’s reputation is basically built on a lie
Totally comparable trajectory
i would hire Marco Rose, i would suspect Nagelsmann won't take it, it's a poison chalice job right now and he will have his pick of clubs next season. Rose or Pochettino, take your pick
