If you could give JM a piece of advice what would it be?

Keep an eye out for Brandon Williams, Ethan Laird, Greenwood, Chong, Anthony Elanga, Teden Mambuene, and O'Connor

Be more flexible and try out different tactics when it's obvious the team is struggling during games. So many times we've had periods in matches where we look completely bereft of any ideas.

Go to Algarve and ask for LVG to teach him the secret of his philosophy...

Always use proper form when lifting for best gains.

And oh yeah, ignore football advice from people that don't know sh*t about football or club management.

Give McTominay a run in the team alongside Matic until Fellaini gets back so that we have a more solid balance which can free up forwards to have more freedom to attack.

Also play Jones and Rojo as a pairing and ditch Chris and if Jones continues to fail them bring in Victor

My advice would be to first go and sit down and really think if this is really what he wants to do and if he wants to be away from his family like he is now. If this is what he wants, then to go and soul search to find his passion for the game like he had as a younger manager and last but not least to adapt to the times and to go with the changing of the game because he seems to be lost in the past, which doesn't seem to work any more and being to stubborn to admit to himself it isn't working any more. Just throwing money at the problem, hasn't worked for Utd the last 5 years and won't work in the future either.

Be guided by your own instincts and experiences, not by what you think might please other people.

The results might not be pretty, but I'd rather that than get beaten by Newcastle
Newsflash we got beating by Newcastle ;)

Get an attacking coach in and take his advice
Very good call but Jose doesn't seem to be the type to listen to anyone. Actually we played some pretty decent stuff when he was suspended and his number 2 was running the show for him.

Yes hes pig headed enough to keep doing the same thing even to the detriment of the team. Any road next year he will be expected to win the league so expect a lot of players coming and going in the summer. He mentioned 2 players only to come in but I cant seeing him settling for that

Keep tubes of Haemorrhoid cream well away from tubes of muscle rub in the bathroom cabinet.

To think there's anything anyone on here could advise any professional football manager on anything is laughable tbh but I'd ask him to please play Herrera with Matic and Pogba in a 3 man midfield, something I suspect most would say in some variation or another

He'd probably smile at me through his teeth thinking feck off
Exactly this. :lol:

Bench Lukaku for a few matches and try a front trio with Martial, Sanchez and Lingard/Mata/Rashford.
