Fantastic news and makes me believe we want Ten Hag in the summer. I want to believe.
Think he'll like Lindelof then, I'm not his biggest fan but he's got an expansive passing range."Not a big fan of square or back passes"
That's McShite gone so.
Just wait until Ten Rag comes in !!Bluemoon going crazy because we have a guy similar to the name Rag.
I think the power-structure change we are witnessing suggests that recruitment is no longer in the hands of the manager, so yes. There's no reason why he wouldn't be involved in a transfer committee regarding January signings. This is the first evidence of a transition to a modern DoF structure we've seen in regards to the first team. There's no reason to wait for a new permanent manager to be chosen before we get the right signings in.Do you think he gets to spend in January?
Sounds like we snapped him up from the joys of retirement!Amount of time away from management is a concern but there's no such thing as an ideal interim manager. Seems a good option all things considered.
Apologies, I'm just in from work and I haven't read all the thread, but I assume this means 'bye-bye Ronaldo' in January maybe certainly summertime, for sure. Didn't this guy basically invent the pressing system? (Sorry if this has already been said).Do you think he gets to spend in January?
He'll like those who are willing to listen good and work very hard,both off and on the pitch. So far in his career, he has shown little stomach for DivasTo anyone who really knows this guy and his philosophy. Which players do you think he will like and dislike?
Really not wanting to sound like an asre, but you do know a DOF is completely different from a manager. His recruiting of players and planning a strategy over 10 years is very different from what he is being asked to do now. What he did was amazing, but the pressure from a 4th tier German team is very different from United now.He spent nearly a decade as Leipzig and Salzburg director of football building Leipzig up from the 4th tier with a couple of interim coaching positions with Leipzig in there.
probably with sap sponsored hoffenheim against the mighty mainz. but regardless of his record he is a perfect fit for the job at front. he must develop structures for the long runHis record vs Klopp...
13 meetings:
6 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses
I'm happy
I can see why Poch wants to come here - he can have a go and take us back to where we need to be, whilst taking on Tuchel, Klopp, Conte and Pep.I've got a feeling Poch is inevitable at this point, his style aligns a lot more with Rangnick's than Ten Hag's. But to be fair, if we've signed Rangnick with the view in mind that his style will transition easily to Poch's then that's genuinely good planning, even if he wouldn't be my personal choice.
To anyone who really knows this guy and his philosophy. Which players do you think he will like and dislike?
Because he likes players who will press from the front. Klopp and Tuchel are influenced by him. Rashford isn't that kind of player. Doesn't even track backThanks. Why do you think he'll dislike Rashford?
The same was said of Van Gaal. Now I'm scared.He's basically considered to be the grandfather of the modern German coaches like Klopp or Nagelsmann. One of the pioneering advocates of high pressing as used today in football.
This is exactly why I think announcing he will have a consultancy role after the summer and will be replaced is very important news. There will be no confusion as to how long he stays on as manager - and I think that is very important after our stint with Ole. This is a 6 month deal, and then we bring a new man in. As long as we stick to that plan I think players will be fine.Really not wanting to sound like an asre, but you do know a DOF is completely different from a manager. His recruiting of players and planning a strategy over 10 years is very different from what he is being asked to do now.

Has he managed the likes of Ronaldo before, no. Does Ronaldo do high press at age 36, no.
I get that everyone is excited about the godfather of high press take over for a bit, but there are a lot of questions to be answered.
I think he'll be the fix for 6 months as the players will respect his immense knowledge over OGS, but I just have some questions
Sideways Scott is done"Not a big fan of square or back passes"
That's McShite gone so.
With this move people probably need to forget about that idea. From now on the club is the one spending, our signings should be club signings. If the club has money and Murtough/Rangnick have targets then I assume that we will sign players.Do you think he gets to spend in January?
He's bringing her here from the start of the Russian winter. Manchester will seem like the Costa del Sol in comparison. Although I'd love to see a christmas in either Moscow or St Petersburg I wouldn't want to be in either all through January and February.Sounds like we snapped him up from the joys of retirement!
Hope he's not another LvG (yesterdays man) who had just promised his wife he would retire and take her on a golfing holiday.... but then had to say "Sorry Honey its Man United calling!
TBH don't know much about the man but if he finished in 2019, that is three years away from a high powered role, might be difficult to restart the 'drive engine'.
Lets hope he hadn't already got the pipe and slippers out!!
It's certainly true that being the grandfather of a way of coaching doesn't automatically make you a great choice now. Especially when it's already a decade since one of the coaches you supposedly grandfathered brought those ideas to prominence. Cutting edge this ain't.The same was said of Van Gaal. Now I'm scared.
couldnt be more opposite to MourinhoSeems like a Mourinho except he's won practically nothing, perhaps he's there to teach his next pupil how to become the next Klopp?
