I think Tuchel, Poch and Ole should be the options. I don't want Zidane anywhere near us.

Should be Ole at this point, even if we lose to PSG we're looking like a new team and think it may be hard for the players who clearly love Ole to then switch again next season.
Keep Ole, get a DoF in and were set for years.

If we continue showing improvement, I believe the club will make their decision in March on Ole, though I don't believe they would announce it until the end of the season.
Yeah, it would be good to have some stability. More upheaval doesn't sound like a good idea.
I see no reason to not give it Ole if we keep improving.
Then given a full year if it doesn't work out then we know. Poch etc will still be around.
We need a DoF though with a similar mindset and planning - and if even like Ole to get a defence coach on board with the staff to improve in that area also.

Need to see how he gets on for the rest of the season.. But if he keeps things moving forward and develops us into more of a machine (and I have to say, first 15 minutes or so yesterday when we didn't really have a touch I was thinking "this is a game Jose (or rather, prime Jose) would've had us drilled into the ground for - I wish we had a bit more of that right now") it becomes riskier to not get Ole in permanently.
Poch is always going to be an option, even if it's in 18 or 30 months instead of 6. In fact, with the new Spurs stadium and the buzz that will create for them, getting him this summer would've/will been/be tough.
But it's far too soon to say for Ole. He hasn't been thumped, he hasn't had to come from behind, he hasn't had a tricky moment to contend with yet...which shows how good a job he's doing, but ultimately it's how you deal with hard moments that makes a manager great. See Jose.

A thousand times this. What's the point in bringing someone in to hope he does the same job your current manager does? fecking bizarre logic on here sometimes.
So vital to keep Carrick and Phelan. Just as important to hold that structure in place.
Don't forget McKenna
My brain wants Poch, my heart wants Ole.
Usually I go with my brain but this time I'd go with my heart!

My heart wants Ole, my brain thinks him and Poch are both a risk, but at least we have some evidence that Ole can get the job done thus far.
I changed from Pochettino to Ole.
Taking Poch down from 1,000 votes to 999. Hahaha!!!
Olé! Olé! Olé!

No. I think maybe once the run of games is done that ends with City at home, they'll have seen all they need to see. That's March 16th.
Imagine if Ole continues to do really well, the fans love it and then they go and get Poch. People will go nuts.
Cast down the tyrant!!!
Seriously though, a month ago I was convinced that Poch was the man of the job. But this has been by far the most I have enjoyed watching football since Fergie left, isn't that the most important thing?
Unless the wheels fall off dramatically I will find it virtually inpossible not to hope Ole gets the job.
Hang on. If Ole wins every game for five months he's still third choice?
Sigh... This is like shopping for shoes, you can't decide and want both pairs.
74 votes for Eddie Howe 
I'm leaning towards Ole as manager with the eager to learn Poch as his assistant.
They can wear whatever style of footwear they see fit.
Eddie Howe was actually the one I prefered before solskjaer was announced. Atleast him over Zidane.74 votes for Eddie Howe
I just voted for Ole. It will be a huge risk (even at this early stage) to ignore 8 wins in a row and give it to someone else when there are no guarantees.
I vote we have a pole on whether to reset the pole with the dumb options removed. Do it again after the City match.
just changed my vote from Poch to Ole, seems a no brainer now, if we add 3 or 4 quality players in the summer i think we can aim for the top 3
Also can we add Mark Robins to the list
Changed my vote to Ole. Poch is as much of a risk imo and as long as Ole keeps his staff, I'm rather positive. But we should not announce anyone until we have a DoF and only at the end of the season
also changed from Poch to Ole
needs a new vote to take account how everyone feels after the last eight games though

Manager/ management team : Don't fix what is no longer broken.
The back needs sorting, the midfield needs adding to, up front is nothing short of exciting.

I haven't changed my vote yet, but Ole is making me think about it. If we continue like this it's probably only a matter of time.
Id be delighted if Ole got a full time contract this weekend and ended all the uncertainty.
Was never super convinced Pochettino is the one anyway. Dont get me wrong, hes done a great job at Spurs but he doss have a pretty mediocre record in the truly big, clutch games. Who knows how good he'd be without Kane to lead the line for example? Sometimes it all comes together for managers at clubs, could be the case for him with Spurs, just suit each other really well. Not to mention how managing United is a different beast to Spurs.
The only 2 managers in world football who i would class as the truly top tier who anyone would love to have are Klopp and Pep. Both shown they can build sides to be successful playing brilliant football, both on multiple occasions. Everyone else has bigger question marks.

fam we aiming for top 3 now.
I would like to change my vote to Ole.
What he has done with our team is nothing short of legendary.

Why would DoF make a difference with this appointment? We have a team of United people in charge and they'll put their heart and soul into the job. They also seem pretty competent at the job.
I'm suspicious of the footballing fraternity bringing coach load of staff and giving their pals jobs giving little regard for the clubs.

Still too early to make a final decision on this, I really hope we let the season run it's full course before we maybe give any long term job offers to Ole.
This has shafted us every new appointment so far. We'd be daft to let it happen again.
Unless something dramatic happens (on the downturn), I really think Ole should be kept on. The issue is more about getting a DoF in place to work on transfers and build the squad up properly in the coming seasons.
Said it many times now but I would honestly rather go for Zidane if we insist on starting fresh again.

We need a recount. The options now are surely only Solskjaer, Pochettino or Zidane? And that's being generous.
I reckon Fergie is acting as stand in DOF. There's some very Ferguson decisions going on in the boardroom at the moment.
I've made the switch and it feels great!
I have to say I was 50/50 as I’d love Poch here but ole is showing he’s got a tactical brain too.
And something special about seeing him, Phelan & Carrick together in charge of our club- I think they’re doing enough to get a chance next year too

I just changed to Ole too. He's done a fantastic job so far.
Ask yourself
1. is the team winning?
2. are you enjoying football?
3. Are you excited enough that you can't wait for the next match?
if your answers are yes! yess!! hell yeh!!!
then why change?
remember, sometimes grass is greener only when it's not in your backyard.
