You actually believe we are less likely to be successful if we hire a manager with a proven track record of success?Why not take the risk? We've gone down the path of experience and it's been miserable.

At least he will buy a right winger, so there is that.I would welcome Zidane, but before he comes people need to realize his tactics is 100% dependent on crossing so that no one moans about the over use of crossing if he ends up here. Just to be sure.
We're not. And it's about time we gave it to Giggs anyways.Too early, but either way, it's got to be Zidane. He'd come here, and win the CL in a heartbeat.
If we're as big as we say we are, we should just take Pep from City.
Those two you mentioned, and Jardim would easily be my top 3 choices, and look to me the most sane choices.Allegri for his coaching ability and seemingly being a personality/traditionalist who s right up United's alley - Zidane because he d bring the hype to compete with Pep and Klopp and could likely help us attract some of the world s biggest names a bit easier than Mou might be able to now.
How is possible to enjoy watching Atletico? They are essentially us, win a bit more but play even more boring. Root for them against Barca and Real, sure, but enjoy how they play? Never thought I was going to see someone say so.Because without a doubt he's one of the best managers in the world and I've enjoyed watching his Atletico sides over the years. He's done an amazing job there.
wow that'd be pretty spectacular!Would we like that?Tweet

Mods can move my post and start a new thread, if they think it’s worth it - L’equipe is actually as good of a source as it gets.
He'll do a good job as long as we get him good wide players.Heard zidane doesn't have the most sophisticated attacking tactics, that the quality players for the most part make it up. Any truth in that? Surely a manager that wins 3 CLs must be doing something other managers can't
We don't need a manager to work with a smaller budget, its irrelevant. For the last two seasons he's had a top quality squad with the best striker and second best creative midfielder in the league and not only have they not challenged last season they scored a grand total of 6 goals more than us. I'm always shocked how thats acceptable to those who complain about our scoring rate.I really don’t get the stick Poch gets and for me is the clear next manager of choice.
How can he have won trophies at Southampton?
Then at Spurs he has taken a team struggling to make Europe into certain top 4 contenders with an English core of players. Many of whom were not big names until he arrived at Spurs.
With the current club constraints on finances due to the stadium it’s a miracle they have been able to compete with the other top 6 over the last 3 years.
I know many fans joke they are bottle jobs but they shouldn’t even be in contention for trophies in the first place. There may be some naivety with his tactics, especially against the top European clubs. How is that any different to the conservative tactics of Mourinho which ultimately got us knocked out by Sevilla last season?
Rude awaking? Have we been slipping through the last 3? lol.Laughable thread. A lot of people seem to be getting giddy over managers based on name and hype. Have some of you watched Allegri’s games completely? Have you done your proper research on Zidane? How are you sure they are the right fit for you, considering the squad available?
Some people are in for a rude awakening when United switches manager, I’m afraid.
Real Madrid and Barca are in a two team league maybe three at times. Their squads are filled with world class players and the worst that can happen is they finish 3rd or 4th if things get bad.Real Madrid and Barcelona achieved incredible things with inexperienced managers. Why can't it work for us?
Zidane is fond of crossing, so we'll need good wingers and fullbacks if he comes. Tbh, he seems a bit tactically naïve from what I've seen, although I wouldn't be opposed to the idea.Heard zidane doesn't have the most sophisticated attacking tactics, that the quality players for the most part make it up. Any truth in that? Surely a manager that wins 3 CLs must be doing something other managers can't
Totally agree. I have to keep saying the same thing repeatedly.Real Madrid and Barca are in a two team league maybe three at times. Their squads are filled with world class players and the worst that can happen is they finish 3rd or 4th if things get bad.
We have 5 other rivals. Then the other teams below them spending crazy. So this comparison to what the above two do doesn’t work for me. We not as dominant as them.
I am sorry but have you ever even watched Athletico play. If you think Mourinho is bad, simone is another level up. It is basically win every game 1-0.Allegri, Simeone, Zidane. If they can play some attacking football and win, great. We dont have to score 100 goals per season, but give me some thrill
This is where i'm at as well. Once someone dons the United badge, i'm in. But that honeymoon period only goes so far. We knew Mourinho has a history of antagonizing players and starting internal wars that end in disaster, but i gave him the benefit of the doubt. That is gone now.Pochettino for me is the only choice. If we can't get him then Zidane. More managers will emerge. I was all for Jose sticking around for a while some months back but when he starts throwing toys out of the pram then it usually doesn't end well a little further down the road so yeah thoughts of who next are becoming more common again.
What do you mean? He wasn't in charge of transfers at Madrid.Not sure some of our fans will be able to handle Zizou’s shrewdness in the market, he won’t make muppetry decisions.
So would you have taken Ranieri?Poch is the new Moyes. Won feck all but ticks many of the supposed boxes. Would do my head in thinking that he’s above winning any competitions.
If you're here for attacking football, Simeone is the last manager you want. I'd rather not tune in to our games than watch him turn every single game into a defensive drill and war of attrition.Allegri, Simeone, Zidane.

Nah, not the most attacking, but not like Mourinho either. Simeone plays with more pressing and he has some decent attacking play. He is no Guardiola, but watching Atletico is more entertaining than Mourinho, even if it is not always provided by attacking footballIf you're here for attacking football, Simeone is the last manager you want.

Disagree. If they are losing, they attack, as does any team with good players. But it is out of necessity in that they need a goal. If a simone team goes one goal up, regardless of whether it is against Barcelona or Southampton, the philosophy then is to defend that lead and win 1-0.

We will need a DOF to handle transfers anyway. Zidane or Allegri they are both useless in th market. After Mourinho a DOF will be a must.Not sure some of our fans will be able to handle Zizou’s shrewdness in the market, he won’t make muppetry decisions.
