Calling absolute bullshit on this.
The entire point of the footballing restructure is to establish what our style of play is and set about implementing it. That’s four managers with four different styles and doesn’t make any sense.
They do have different style especially Thomas Frank however the other three default formation is 4231 and Frank’s a flat 433, occasionally Tuchel and Poch will play a 343 or 3412 but generally they like McKenna like the double pivot in front of the back 4 as both Poch and McKenna like the inverted full back on one side.
To me it looks like INEOS made their mind up irrespective of the Fa Cup, ETH 19 yes 19, maybe soon to be 20 defeats this season is why he’s being sacked, he’s already had his second chance from December to March and he never took it.
The club simply wants to stop losing matches and it already suggested in the last three games, he’s been told by Wilcox to tighten up the midfield and make the team more compact.
Calling it now, United will play Casemiro, with Amrabat and Mainoo either side in a compact flat midfield three against city and Bruno in a false 9 slightly withdrawn and Rashford and Ganaucho either side trying to play in between City’s FB’s and CB’s
Amad and Hojlund will be on the bench.
McKenna also has a good working knowledge of our youth set up and whose good enough to come through into the first team.
