Will Iraola be able to manage a club our size? People are raving about his win at Arsenal… but let’s not forget Carrick also went their and won in his second game with us

If you dig deep into various stats over past seasons, his teams are very impressive.

They're in top 3 in numerous pressing stats in Europe, not just the PL.

I'm pretty certain he's our next manager.
I think they wanted him to replace ETH but the time wasn't right.

Not saying it does, however he just plays a better style and isn't afraid to mix it with the PL big boys

I rate Iraloa as a much better manager than Glasner. My comment was more about the odd criteria chosen by the telegraph in that article. I mean how is a Supercup in cyprus a relevant achievement. Certainly not more coming than 1st across a league season in the Austrian 2nd division.
 
Agree his football style, fits really well with how we want Utd to play.

If anyone would have said Carrick would have had us 3rd at this point you’d have all laughed especially as to the position we were in. I’m not saying we should give Carrick the job (yet) he still has 6 games to prove himself. If we finish 3rd and we win the next 6 I’d give him it provided we look good. If the club ownership or fans made a decision based on last night, that’s knee jerk crazy.

That's more due to Villa's collapse than it is our up turn in form to be fair, they had a 1pt per game drop we've had a .38 increase. 3rd seemed out of reach but 4th to 6th certainly wasn't.

If those teams had kept up their form we'd still be struggling around 5th. Still a decent achievement but wouldn't be so many claims of big leaps.

This time last year, the vast majority on here would’ve mocked any suggestion that we’d even make 5th or 6th

Yes, Villa have dropped off a bit. That’s how the league table goes. Good job we were “in a good place” :) to capitalise.. and we have, so far

Aye, and Bournemouth also drew five games in a row before that.

Daniel Farke just beat Manchester United at Old Trafford should we hire him?

It's not based on yesterday alone of course. We have looked crap for quite a few games now despite having almost our best XI available.
He isn't it

I don’t think this will be the first or the last time, that a great club is being turned down, due to personal reasons. It happens and that’s ok.
 
Carrick could work as your permanent manager, but the percentage call is that he won't

He's undeniably underqualified for a club of your stature (from an admittedly small sample), just as Rosenior is at Chelsea

I'd say you should only give him the job if there's no outstanding candidates around.

Exactly. People get hyped up so easily nowadays. Theirs only truly one manager out there that’s in the world class bracket and who a team like us should be going for. And that’s Enrique

Who isn't available so what's the point bringing him up?

Doesn't need to be outstanding. Adequate is sufficient.

Carrick should be our manager. A bad result should not change that.

Nothing to do with one result.

It's multiple bad performances in the most favourable circumstances he will ever have here - one game a week while all our rivals have two, all the time he wants on the training pitch.

It's multiple seasons of overachieving at PL level, good underlying performance metrics, playing a good style of football whilst the club sell his best players.

Yeah absolutely bang on, sadly this minority ownership will never match the ambition of it's fanbase. So see this thread becoming quiet once the inevitable gets announced in the summer which is gonna happen.

He's an excellent manager who has done so much over the years with so little. Really believe he's the next big thing if given a chance.
 
DJ_21 said:
Do we know that? Have we at least contacted him and tried? At least if the owners showed ambition and tried then we can all be satisfied.

He in negotiations to extend to 2030 and Campos the sporting director is confidyas is the club that he is going to extend. Plus he's under contract for another year.

He's a complete non starter

Previous managers we’ve had have played ‘good football’ his team this season aren’t even above Brentford, Everton or even a newly promoted Sunderland. Yet we’re meant to believe he can get us challenging for league titles.

Let it all play out. We’ll get him and his stern current supports will blame Wilcox and Co for hiring a manager with no “big Club” experience.

In this context his competition for the United job is a manager who did ok-ish at a middling championship club.

They're all unlikely to win us a league title. I don't see that as a good reason to go with a worse of the two options.

I’m not in favour of Carrick either. I’d rather go for Nagelsmann out of all 3 of them.

By the same token, when it goes wrong under Carrick his stern current support will blame Wilcox and co for hiring a championship manager because of nepotism.

So the 2026 sample size data of him actually managing the club counts for nothing then?

Look if Iraola was happy to take the job on a temporary basis after we sacked Amorim until the end of the season and got results like Carrick has, I’m sure he’s credentials would increase too.

Unfortunately we don’t have that data.
 
Big change in mood in this forum after last night. I don’t think Carrick did much wrong to be honest and the match just illustrated how much we need to invest in our midfield. With Carrick I always think back to when Boro got rid of him and how stale that setup had become. I am convinced the same would happen with us sooner or later. I am not sure who we should appoint, Enrique is not available, I don’t like Nagelsman or Tuchel particularly but I guess they’re two likely candidates.
 
PSG won't just outplay you, but they'll outthink and outgrit you as well. This is a team that believes in what they're doing and themselves, which is the sign of a pure class manager. Maybe if he wins a second CL he'll have an appetite for a new challenge. Not for all of the euros pounds and dollars in Qatar will he sign on to take orders from Jason Wilcox however.
 
Have to look at the body of work at the end of season.

I'm not saying Carrick is blameless at all, but we do have a poor squad and last night illustrated that we're only two injuries away from a real mess.

It does count for something. But it counts about as much as Ole's results from December-March during his honeymoon interim period.

Ole wouldn't ever get a PL job again and has managed a few months at Besiktas since he left. That's the kind of standard you can end up with if you get overexcited by a small sample size of scraping results with questionable performances under a caretaker.

Absolutely bang on the money but the sentimental ones in our fanbase are blinded by his status as a player. The problem is so are these minority owners which is ringing serious alarm bells for the coming seasons.

The problem was he didn't do anything to change the momentum. Why didn't he bring on Heaven when Licha was sent off. He also could have at least tried Lacey when chasing the game as well but didn't have the guts.

Or trying to coach Dalot, Zirkzee and half a dozen others to Champions League level.
