The obvious answer is Zidane,however has never expressed that desire to manage here and seems to be ideal when team are ready to challenge which we win. I also like Inzaghi but doesn't seem to have any desire to leave Italy right now.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

Why is Zidane obvious? extremely limited experience as a manager, with a club who are massively dominant
Just because of the whole aura around him and we need someone who could immediately command respect of that dressing room
Does Zidane speak English? Never heard him do it.
Petit claimed he was taking English lessons as far back as 2021.
Interesting!
Personally, I’m not sure on him, but would be an incredibly fascinating appointment.

Comrade Erik
Who's left? MUTV and De Telegraaf?
None, it'll just be Erik sitting there for 20 minutes smiling.
Fergie also banned reporters, when he was in charge. I think it is fair that ETH shows where his limits are.
Oh dear , we always learn so much from the tabloidy , ask him something for a headline journos. Only people upset should be the ones who buy and read those rags
Ming the Merciless bans journos from Mongo pressers
Love this
Erik of the ten Echo Chambers
Good move. These should be banned permanently anyway.
MEN is a local paper
Good mix of proven manager that can command a dressing room at a huge club immediately, while also having the ability to work and be patient with younger players.
I value Zidane's time at Madrid far more than someone like De Zerbi who's managed more clubs but never anything close to our size and stature
Gwaaaaan Erik. They need to be held to account somehow, not be given a free hit.
Same as the chimps who claim standing up for yourself and calling out disrespect is ‘a bad look’
Bals is best
What are they supposed to account for in this case?
It is though. They made tactical changes. We made personnel changes. We then didn’t adjust our tactics to nullify their changes. There was a mental component for sure but we could have also adjusted tactically.
You know, repeating this over and over only makes other people more likely to believe you guys are a cult.
I'd be relieved not having to listen to his pathetic excuses and fawning over "Washy"
People on here that slate our own fans for "abuse" have no clue how tolerant United support is compared to majority of other huge clubs.
This is probably the truth. When United play well he’s normally a massive part of the positive bits.
He’s done a lot wrong too but stuff like getting beaten for pace playing CB by a wingers 10 years younger than him I don’t blame on Cas at all.
Makes him look like a clown sure but the guy does his best despite some calling him lazy. I don’t really see the laziness I see teams targeting him defensively.
I think a big part is not really his fault. Teams kinda have worked him out when he’s isolated. The shape this season means he’s always exposed which again isn’t a players fault.
Barcelona at their peak even isolate Busquets you had joy on the break. When the compactness disappears (rarely happened granted) defensively Busquets never had the speed to chase runners.
ETH in!
This is good from a position of authority.
Being scared of criticism only makes him look weaker.
Scared?
By trying to shut down critical media coverage, yes.
I actually think this is a strong move. If you're going to try and make me look dumb then you can do it from your living room.
Different times but I never liked it when he did it either. Too North Korean for my taste.
I love the reaction from the media to this. They like to poke the bear, but when the bear bites back they're victims.
When they asked about Giggs' extramarital affair, or made a documentary about his son. Not for asking tough questions in an embarrassing season.
He’s in a public position, accountable to millions of fans all over the world, at a club that heavily benefits from media attention. Critical coverage is the other side of the coin and comes with the territory. I don’t see how it makes him look strong if he can’t handle it.
No..... Don't be that guy
So what’s he doing then?
