Terrible. All four of them are even worse options than ETH who is a bad fit himself.
It's difficult of knowing how easy transcends to a big club though. Potter really elevated Brighton and in his final half season they looked bloody good at all those things. Rodgers in his first season with Leicester was more impressive than both De Zerbi and Ange in their current debut years.
Zidane would be my first choice, outside of that it’s a pool of managers that haven’t got the wow factor (yet) but are good candidates with their own strengths, and I see McKenna and Carrick as good fits here. They both play styles that would suit our team, they know the club, the league and are in the process of proving their ability. I don’t understand the outrage, I feel like they’re underrated because they’re British, or haven’t done it at a top club yet. A reminder that Xabi Alonso’s job before Leverkusen was Real Sociedad B for 3 years.
I've seen too many brain fart matches for De Zerbi to be convinced he's the guy for any top club just yet, let alone our own. Just a reminder that Brendan Rogers was fair bit more impressive than him (and Ange) in his debut year for Leicester, until it went tits up.
They can all go in the same summer too. If Sancho and ETH dont deserve their place at the club then both go.
I don’t know about De Zerbi. He seems to be crumbling under the immense pressure of being the Shiney new thing at Brighton. I do fear what he’ll do at the global bohemoth that is Manchester United. Even ETH succeeded in an environment that had 20 times the pressure De Zerbi is facing.
Thing is, we need both a strong personality and a good tactician. Not having either will result in failure. ETH is tough in the right way but his tactics and coaching have been a huge let down.
I'm far from convinced either but in the end this is what the interview process and background checking is for. Still think there's a pretty high chance that the next manager won't be "the answer" long term either, but whoever it is has to have the mandate to make us play modern, attacking football. No more "let's just do whatever we can to get top 4 and a cup". Build a solid foundation for the future at least rather than the quicksand we've been shitting money on this last decade.
So you don’t like easy to watch attacking football. Plus the fans love him. Speak to any Celtic or Spurs fan. He’s far far more suited to Man Utd than ETH that’s for sure. Pity we have no chance to get him.
More often than not their football is fecking boring balance is just not there and they have ridden their luck a plenty it's not a sustainable strategy unless they improve substantially it's matter of time before it comes crashing down.
I agree, these are lazy media links without any shred of actual evidence that these are the top targets. Essentially, they’ve linked the club with managers that Ashworth knows or has worked with in the past. Clickbait garbage, the usual for any United news.
Jose should've been this guy but even he couldn't sort them out
He's 6 points behind us and he's playing in a season where they've lost their best players and had their fair share of injuries. Even after all of that they generally manage to control the game better than most other teams.
Brendan Rodgers is still a good coach. And for what it's worth be was impressive before Leicester too. The issue for him is that he's become a bit of a joke amongst United supporters and others. But I'm certain he'll coach in the PL again one day and there'll be people saying how he's actually pretty good.
I don't think it's anything to do with the pressure. They've been stripped off most of their talents and haven't replaced them properly yet. On top of that they've had injury issues all season, and don't have the quality backup that us and others have. We complain about what we have but imagine relying on CBs to play midfield, having the play the likes of Milner and Lallana etc.
Just shows Differences in Opinions he would be my No1 choice if available. Remarkable job Hes done at Spurs so far.

I have some potentially upsetting news for you about the systems they run.
So in your opinion, the instructions from the manager before the game were "look like you're pressing high up the pitch but half arse it, lose as many midfield duals as possible and stay away from any opposition player that has the ball"? Maybe he should be sacked then
If this performance was a one off you may have a point, but this is every week, what do they do in training?So in your opinion, the instructions from the manager before the game were "look like you're pressing high up the pitch but half arse it, lose as many midfield duals as possible and stay away from any opposition player that has the ball"?

Enough for a few players to leak that they're being asked to work too hard for their liking on the training ground. De Zerbi will ask the players to do very similar things to what Ten Hag is asking both tactically and from a work rate point of view BTW. Not a single manager that's been discussed, not even Southgate, will adjust what he wants to do accommodate low work rate. Ole, who was very well liked in the dressing room, asked for a high work rate, and was sacked because he couldn't get it out of them.
He won la liga first season in charge and he’s very much a candidate for manager of the year if he makes the CL final this season with this Barcelona team!
Good thing he's delegated this job to Berrada
Morals aside, Pep would never join a midtable team.
Nah it's gonna be Southgate
This SJR only employs English is BS. Is Omar Berrada English? Is Jean Claude Blanc?
OK kid.
