As a caretaker boss?
Would you take Koeman?

Prefer Steve Bruce to be fair.
Hell no
He's Dutch and he played for Barca. He'd turn the season around.
Nope
He needs a break anyway

No, Hell No..
Only if someone offered me a million £
Jeez - that will be desperation. No.
Ex everton manager and dutch he sounds like the perfect mix combination of Moyes and Van Gaal. I say we get him.
Not even till the end of the season?????
Only on a 5 year deal so we can see 'progress' and a 'cultural reset'. These things take time.
Only if Barca take OGS off our hands. Straight swap. El Ineptico.
As a DM? Maybe
Fabrizio Romano thinks it's a possibility.
He'd have to bring Larsson with him though.

If we're going full Incompetent then why not just get Gattuso & Keane in on a co-management arrangement and release the netflix series.
Tough crowd.
Not even until the end of the week
Out for a pint? Sure, a sacking is hard to take and a good support group is needed.
And take Carrick Phelan (dont know what he does anymore) and the lot with him.....
That job isn’t a easy one. Barca have a dreadful squad and no money.
I think we’re probably better off with the current manager if its all the same.
Sure, why not? He's an upgrade on what we currently have and already has a good record at Old Trafford. 
I don't want a caretaker boss because I don't trust the owners/board to not be dumb enough to give them a 3 year contract when they win a few games.
Seriously?
To be honest, Koeman has been working at a club that is so horribly fecked for the next few years. He‘s a fairly decent manager and he’s more suited to the United job than OGS, based on his managerial background.
So on that basic fundamental thing, I would take Koeman as a caretaker even though I’m not saying he’s amazing and that we should even do it. Its more about that’s how much I rate OGS.
Imagine the hypothetical situation of Newcastle choosing between Koeman and Solskjaer as their new manager. You know who it’s going to be and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

Absolutely. Love me a bit of Koeman
I'd rather keep Ole. They're both, more or less, the same caliber of managers. Even if Koeman is slightly better, what's the point?
Don't start giving the Glazers ideas, they might just do that for the added revenue and 'commercial appeal'.
1000x yes.
It's statistically proven that putting anyone named Ronald or simply Ron into a managerial position is guaranteed to be a success. You can't argue with science.

Ole for Barca and Koeman for United will be a great experiment. Fkd up their current teams lets see what they can do with the each others teams. Biggest fk up wins.
Much better options out there after Conte.
Will he get two-three years minimum, 3-400 million, the chance to “make the team his own” and “stamp his authority on the squad” and have absolutely no expectations barring the bare minimum of making top 4 despite spending more than almost everyone?
If not, then the answer is no. If the answer is yes, then sign me up. I’m sold.

They should do an Apprentice style show, with Fergie as the Sugar/Trump and winner gets to manage United.
No, absolutely not.
It's amusing so many people laugh off the suggestion when Fergie described Koeman as the most gifted manager of his generation. At his last leadership talk at Harvard he said very few clubs are willing to implement the top down changes and complete vision that Koeman would want which is why he will struggle to succeed at the largest clubs - just as we've seen with Barcelona. He said his one regret was not bringing in Koeman as an assistant manager when he had the chance so he could take over with the full backing of the board. They even discussed how Old Trafford and all it's facilities would need modernising and expanding to keep ahead of the growing league with Koeman producing architectural prints to achieve this back in 2010.
feck off 
Can't be worse than Ole tbf..
I’m beginning to think Fergie isn’t the best judge on managers for us.
Kill me now
No way. We are desperate, but what's the point panic hiring. It just sets you back for longer.
