Why are you happy giving him a go, does what Middlesbrough fans say about his management and lack of tactical acumen not scream red flagsJust seen Iraola is available for nothing, Sir Jim would love that.
I’d be happy giving Carrick a go next season but if we’re looking to appoint someone I’d take Iraola over the other ‘available’ Premier League managers.
Thomas Frank vibes for me. Has zero expectations and pressure at Bournemouth. No one bats an eyelid if they lose. He has his players playing for him, fair enough, but I wouldn't trust our squad to do the same under him.Just seen Iraola is available for nothing, Sir Jim would love that.

Romano telling us absolutely nothing
Don't matter as we aren't looking at other managersWell, it's saying he's not already arranged a deal with Bilbao.

Not anyone but Carrick but need to get IraolaTomorrow we'll get another tweet from him saying the same thing.
Honestly I'd have Iraola. Anyone but Carrick.
Not anyone but Carrick but need to get Iraola
Ah OK thenAnyone of that calibre but Carrick is what I meant to say
The problem we have as outsiders is nearly all of the analysis of managers is judging his team selection and choice in subs.I don’t think Carrick did much wrong to be honest
Even our game plan and physical state of the players against Leeds were pathetic, though.The problem we have as outsiders is nearly all of the analysis of managers is judging his team selection and choice in subs.
90% of the actual work in making us a better football side is done on the training pitch to prepare the team to be fit, to perform, to be organised, to keep possession, to consistently create chances, to improve individual players on their weaknesses.
It's not just picking an 11 and when to bring the subs on.
Because we don't know what's happening at Carrington we don't know if we actually have the best in class preparing the team.
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.
They've drawn most games in PL.
If a couple of those has been wins, they'd be vying for CL place.
They're number 1 in PL for numerous pressing stats.
I like Carrick but I'd hire Iraola if possible.Shows he has made them hard to beat, only Arsenal and City have less losses at bloody Bournemouth!
His team sold their best defenders and then their best attacker mid season. He is playing with scraps, he is doing a great job with what he has and you would hope he could only improve with better players at his disposal and not having to see his best players leave every year.
What exactly put Alonso there in the same tier as Enrique and Flick anyway?Kompany got relegated, you need to look a bit deeper than league position. Same principle as to why I don't think we should keep Carrick even if we finish 3rd.
Enrique
Flick
Alonso
Iraola
Conte
Simeone
Fabregas
Emery
Inzaghi
Howe
Glasner
Maresca
Nagelsmann
Poch
Xavi
McKenna
Surely we wouldn't get to the third tier on that list before someone said yes.
To the people that say someone like Iraola probably can't handle a club the size of Utd so we should keep Carrick, he's only an Interim so he might not even be able to handle it himself.
Being an interim for a few months following someone like Amorim is no pressure at all compared to being tasked to build a team and tactics to dominate the League and Europe over the following few years and having to play twice a week for a change (all the other teams around us have been struggling with Europe and domestic cup games since he took over).
Can I just ask why does Alonso deserve to be in tier 1? He had 1 really good season with Leverkusen. Didn’t do much at Madrid. He’s no better than the likes of Nagelsmann. Enrique and Flick are probably unrealistic. I’d take a gamble on Iraola but I’d prefer Nagelsmann, I wouldn’t even be against Fabregas, his Como side have been a really good watch this season and he’s done a great job their.Kompany got relegated, you need to look a bit deeper than league position. Same principle as to why I don't think we should keep Carrick even if we finish 3rd.

Under qualified at present.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.
For me, Emery would be like Mourinho. He'd win us a couple of trophies (no bad thing obviously) but I think that would come at the expense of longer term planning.Must must must be someone with real pedigree so not Glasner or Iraola or anyone at that level. Alonso would be hilarious for the reaction at RAWK but it won't happen. We have to have a serial winner, someone with a record of success in the PL or La Liga or Serie A or Bundesliga. Possibly a World Cup winning coach. If no one measures up, then it has to be Carrick because none of the others is worth the risk. One exception could be Emery. If it's southgate or Howe, I'd have to seriously think of calling a psychiatrist in for Ratcliffe
I feel like Carrick will be in the premier league next season. There’s a lot of PL clubs going to need a new manager.I'd maintain that like Real Madrid, the biggest challenge for the United job is the "political" side.
Van Gaal, Mourinho and even Ten Hag were all good-great managers and all struggled with it.
Iraola could be a great manager but the step up to a big club (and everything that comes with that) is a massive one. It's one thing defying expectations with a team like Bournemouth (in reality finishing 10th - 17th would have been considered a decent season for them when he was appointed) It's very different merely meeting them with a big club. And another level entirely having meaningful success.
For me, Emery would be like Mourinho. He'd win us a couple of trophies (no bad thing obviously) but I think that would come at the expense of longer term planning.
The reason why I'm still swaying towards Carrick is he would keep things ticking over in the short term.
Iraola is still only 43 and with a couple more years of experience behind him and also a more settled United, that would be a far better combination.
Hipster, 3 at the back, done great in a lesser league.What about Cristian Chivu?
Couldn't have had a better start to his career.
Takes over Parma late last season while in a relegation battle and saves them.
Joins Inter in the summer and is about to win Serie A at the first attempt. His teams GD is miles clear of anyone else also.
I think he's currently playing with 3 at the back which I'm not a fan of but he definitely deserves a place in the poll anyway.
I think we should be more serious about Diego Simeone. Not just because Atletico knocked out Barcelona yesterday. But because he is a fantastic head-coach. He can develop players.
He is not as defensive minded as some might think. Actually if you look closer, the way Atletico plays often looks like a proper United team. Fast counters, hard work etc.
He is more tactically flexible than most people think.
He should be in the top 3 candidate list..
Just having a manager to "keep things ticking over" doesn't really bode well to remain at the level, which will be required to achieve Champions League football again next season, or perhaps even challenge for some silverware.The reason why I'm still swaying towards Carrick is he would keep things ticking over in the short term.

No thanks
Doesn't really matter, it's not the Premier League. Right now I'm quite a fan of going for Premier League proven talent in managerial capacity and also player capacity.It's hardly the Eredivisie or Primeira Liga.
I'm not a fan of 3 at the back either though. If he could switch to 4, he should definitely be in the running.
I find and always have found his teams hard to watch. He’s worse than mourinho, pep and Arteta put together when it comes dark arts.I think we should be more serious about Diego Simeone.

Nagelsmann seems so underrated here. I still think he'd be a great choice and would do very well here.Doesn't really matter, it's not the Premier League. Right now I'm quite a fan of going for Premier League proven talent in managerial capacity and also player capacity.
We have to get it right and I think Ireola and Carrick are the front runners in my book. Anthring else is a punt, Nagelsmann included. Enrique I assume is out of reach so I didn't really count him.
Why? What has he done, to warrant that kind of standing?Nagelsmann seems so underrated here. I still think he'd be a great choice and would do very well here.
The problem is more the timing. Even if he could be gotten, he wouldn't be available until probably late July, or whenever his World Cup duty ends. That is far from ideal in such a crucial summer as the upcoming one and also considering, that it would be his first job in England. That rules him out far more, than his actual coaching ability.
Enrique will stay at PSG. I also would assume, that City would make a major play for him, if Guardiola leaves. But that's just a guess.
He's closer to Amorim 2.0 profile wise than to our solutionWhy? What has he done, to warrant that kind of standing?

If we're gonna talk about being underrated, I think Maresca is an obvious case on here. Didn't his Chelsea side play decent football, and the players like Cucurella still talk fondly of him now?Nagelsmann seems so underrated here. I still think he'd be a great choice and would do very well here.

It Wwould also be funny if he started an affair with a reporter from the Sun or Daily Mail, like he did with his Bild-girlfriend. This place would be in shambles.He's closer to Amorim 2.0 profile wise than to our solution
Nagelsmann leaving Lena Wurzenberger for Samuel Luckhurst, the heart wants what it wantsIt Wwould also be funny if he started an affair with a reporter from the Sun or Daily Mail, like he did with his Bild-girlfriend. This place would be in shambles.
Why? What has he done, to warrant that kind of standing?
Sure he was sacked. By a dysfunctional board, which shortly thereafter realized they might've made a mistake and were suddenly scrambling for a manager. Under the circumstances present at Bayern during his time there, I don't think many managers would've done much. And he still won the league. I also like how the German national team play. At the last Euros they weren't far away from beating Spain. Cucurella clearly handled the ball in the box too. Ridiculous decision not to give that penalty and who knows how the game could've gone, if it would've been given.I like the idea of Nagelsmann but not the timing after Amorim failed so miserably.
Nagelsmann was sacked at Bayern and well briefed that he couldn't manage big players. He's not doing stellar with the German NT either
Why do you think that?Don't matter as we aren't looking at other managers
