With so many clubs looking for a new manager, we may need to move swiftly.
I am leaning more towards De Zerbi but agree with many points that he’s far from proven.
My issue with ETH is there is less style of play than Olé had who was routinely criticised for it. We can’t score, we can’t defend, we can’t control games and he has contributed to the problem with allowing us to overspend on a player he managed.
I enjoyed watching Utd most when Olé managed us and while it may have ended poorly, we played better football, scored more goals and I felt we had a chance in every big game.
I was pleased we got ETH but I think he’s doing a magic act where he has convinced fans he’s the guy while still losing at Anfield 7-1 and not winning against a top 8 opposition in 18 months.
He brings a lot of good qualities no doubt, but performances matter as much if not more than results and rarely have performances been good and I fully expect ETH to effectively be on trial till the end of the season.
