Not sure McKenna is up to it. I’d rather he seen out the season with Ipswich and try to make them a solid prem team
In this situation are players ever consulted on their thoughts about the manager or the change in manager?
To be fair, the last two results seen in isolation are not sackable offenses. The Spurs game was the real travesty. When we kept him after that, two draws in away games against good sides were never going to be the final straw.
No it’s all a bit quiet, I think that’s bad news for ETH. They could throw out a story backing him to Ornstein but that doesn’t seem to be coming even with all the speculation
The time to take that gamble was when Ole left. That ship has sailed.
And where do you expect him to go with zero experience? Such a ridiculous post. Pep and Zidane started out with the B squads and they turned out alright.
Of course they won't. It was obvious.
No rush to make that decision? Blimey what in the feckity feck are they waiting for?
Until we’re in the relegation zone by the looks of it
Not long left then. We are only 3 places away.
He was born in London. But yeah, he's from a Catholic background. Northern Ireland is technically British. So he's both Irish and British.
They should be the final straw though. Our form alone. I’ve seen managers sacked after a draw before because of the previous form. Also we can’t score goals under him. That comes down to coaching.
If a last minute equaliser against Porto and a poor performance against Villa are enough to keep him in the job we may as well call it quits. The bigger picture of the season is we’re 14th and haven’t won a game in Europe, this coming off the back of our worst ever PL campaign
That penalty shootout win against Coventry has completely carried him he would have been sacked months ago
Blowing a 2-0 lead should certainly go against him.
I’m not defending him. I think he should be gone, based on our overall form this year.
I just never expected him to be fired after these two draws. I expect it will take at least another few embarrassing losses before it happens.
feck off Rob Dawson.
Is that confirmed?
If that is the case I suspect it was rejected because it was favourable to the club in terms of severance, and hence why it was rejected.
He needs experience at the top level of football he’s literally never won a game at PL level and people want him to be the guy to get United back to winning ways? It’s laughable. Pep/Zidane we’re working and winning at the clubs they took over not to mention they were former players it’s nothing like McKenna getting the United job
Perfect picture/expression to go with that headline.
According to German posters that just isn’t true
It's at least a little promising that there are stories starting to come out about him being replaced. It was all far too quiet before this.
The money angle is bull. Paying out compo to a manager isn't cheap but it's not an insane amount in the grand scheme of things.
It wasn’t too quiet at all. Theres an SLT meeting tomorrow night where this will be discussed and decided. That’s all we need to know.
If there was any credible rumours either way it would mean that someone in the SLT has loose lips.
It’s just the absolute opposite approach I expected if this is allowed to carry on much longer. Zero reason to waste another season.
Because it’s been 3 years of constant injuries (as you’ve said), and even when fit he didn’t look like the same player. Or are we just going to assume that every player can recapture their abilities from 3 years ago just because we haven’t seen a full season of nonstop performances to show us otherwise?
Sure he’s going to leave a PL management job for that
I’d argue it’s hard to even begin to look good in this system.
''Yes Erik you're probably going to get the boot. But seeing as it's not 100% decided yet take that with a pinch of salt and obvisouly don't tell anyone''
He's staying, isn't he
If you don’t understand the hype around the guy who took a League One squad to the PL in his first attempt then I don’t know what else to tell you.
The collective groan registered as an earthquake as far away as Thailand
To be honest, most of these reports are coming from 'fan accounts with sources' and all saying similar things.
I'd say it's highly unlikely they know anything and are just craving attention. Let's see what Ornstein/Ducker/etc say later tonight/tomorrow.

You love the drama don’t you
Oh I don’t dispute that, which is why I’ve largely avoided criticizing many of the players this season apart from a few obvious ones (Bruno and Martinez have been quite poor for example).
But Mount was injured or poor in both 2022 and 2023, and so far it’s been the same this season. He’s also not shown the same production and quality in the final third he did in 2021 since then (he also didn’t play in the midfield much that season for the Tuchel system, he was largely a pseudo inside forward). So I don’t really see the point in assuming that quality will magically return along with his fitness 3+ years later. That goes for mostly any player apart from maybe some super young prospects
How did muppetiers manage to legitimise their reputation? They put out ambiguous information that anyone can infer.
