Hopefully some of the youth prospects like Hannibal and Fernandez are ready to step up for consideration.
it'll have to be simply due to player turnover and learning a new style of play and training....think you'll see him bring on board a few younger players simply b/c he will need to fill gaps within the squad that he can't buy
He's an exciting prospect. Fresh-faced, modern, new ideas, and a clear vision.
I couldn't give a single feck what the players are feeling right now. Happy for him to clear out the whole lot, if he wants. I'll get the skip ready.
a bit surprised it's a 3 year deal....that seems more like a trial run for ETH than a real managers contract that you ahve full confidence in hiring
Amazing after the money we’ve spent, how seemingly so few of our players will be able to thrive in ETH’s system.
Yeah why aren't we offering him a 6 year deal? Can't believe we've learnt nothing from the past 10 years
Shout if you need any help because I seconds this notion!He's an exciting prospect. Fresh-faced, modern, new ideas, and a clear vision.

Absolutely rolling around the floor laughing at this story.
Im mega excited about this tbh. It might take him 3 years to clear out the fecking deadwood from this squad and I hope we give him time for it.
I'm sure he'll be given a 6 year extension if he gets us top 4 next season
You have me there.
This is going to be a thunderbolt to the dressing room - exactly what’s needed.
ETH is actually a year older than Pep.
I'd love that. Laird and Garner too maybe.
Our personal Pep Guardiola is my idol
He tries and look just like his hero, Pep.
I bet he isn't even really bald but just wants to look like Pep and so he shaves his head every few days. The goatee looks the same.
Lindelof should do well, since he has played as a DM for Sweden and before he came to United.
Varane, assuming he isn't injured.
Sancho.
Fred maybe/doubtful. I'm not a fan at all of Fred but it's because he's played deep and defensively and it's obviously not his jam.
Dalot maybe/doubtful, but he really should be the back up to the "real" RB.
McTominay maybe/doubtful, have to see what his real strengths/skills are when played with an actual DM.
---------------------next season---------------
VDB.
Garner.
Hannibal.
So we will roll into the 2023 season with DeGea, 1 or possibly 2 CBs who fit, a wing, a loan returnee, and two youth teamers. Champions League trophy, here we come!!!
I would just like to point out that many moons ago, when this was discussed as just a possibility, and many were pessimistic about him joining us, I’ve said that the manager of Ajax would swim across the channel if he has to once Utd come calling.
And yeah, our own Pep Guardiola is my idol and all that.
And yeah, our own Pep Guardiola is my idol and all that.
During half-time of the Liverpool match, when we're down by 5? Or shortly after the final whistle?
What do Ajax still have to play for this season? Just the league? Would be nice for him to arrive with the bounce of winning a trophy rather than of a loser
Cup final vs PSV (?) still to come
This sounds like something out of Jack Reacher novel. Although you‘re not wrong.The only coach Im happy since Fergie left. Lets hope our management plays along and is ruthless with the players and supportive with Eth
Yeah, we need to let go of top 4 as a minimum expectation for a season or two as we try to implement a style realistically.
Hopefully we'll have the inside scoop on the next De Jong from the Ajax academy and can get them in before they become common knowledge
What? You need to do some research.
I can never look at McLaren the same after listening to Athletico Mince these last few years ..
I think it suits Bruno down to the ground tbh. Also think it suits Lindelof, whether he starts as a cb or potentially rb if ETH doesn't trust Dalot enough. Dm is the area where it's an absolute mess though. We have literally nobody who can play the role correctly, but then that's nothing new really.
fair play....klopp and pep both signed initial 3 year deals before klopp signed a 6 yr extension and pep signed another 2 yr extension thru 23
Bruno will need to massively improve his passing accuracy you would think. I can't see any Dutch coach putting up with a player who gives the ball away 4 times out of ever 5 he receives it, no matter how talented he is.
What we are going to need massively is a proper no 9.
I'll give you LvG, especially on the back of WC (specifically post-Spain hammering) but Mourinho was 50/50 at best among United fans. Also last summer's signing gave us a boost but a lot of fans were voicing concern about the lack of midfield signings and Ole's ability. It's the first time since SAF that a manager signing generate this kind of hype (LvG the closest, but a few feared he was outdated).
First manager signing I am willing to back to the hilt, especially since if he fails then it probably means that no one can fix our issues until we get new ownership.
Surprised the fat lass agreed to Steve taking this on. Casper for deputy director of football?
ETH wants his midfielders creating chances. He plays a bit more direct than I think people realise. Any midfielder who tries to create chances will give the ball away. That's just the reality. Bruno's an excellent presser which will make it easier for him to fit in straight away while most of the rest of the squad will need to majorly improve their pressing
Direct is one thing. Passing it into touch is quite another.
