This guy was right about the interview.
Now claiming a deal is done

This just stinks of seeing the rumours heating up around Ten Hag and taking a punt by tweeting this in the hope it’s true and it’ll look like they were the first to break the story.
They're not wrong to be fair.
Unfortunately that "fear factor" would be our lads being afraid of big games and trophies.
On the flip side, I could see Ten Hag actually wanting someone like RVP on his back room staff. Same nationality, has had some time in coaching now and knows our club and what it’s like to win at our club. To me, that’s someone I’d want to bring with me and then I would probably consider who else based on my prior experiences but also who is already at the club.
I wouldn’t want a manager who either a) blindly takes the clubs suggestions or b)blindly brings his own without seeing what’s there already.

The most excited I've been about a manager appointment post Ferguson. No guarantees of course, but finally we're hiring one of the best that's available
Rooney would be a disaster i reckon. ETH, by all reports is a disciplinarian with a distinctly “European” approach to not just tactics but to the psychology of football. Also detail and analysis focused a bit of a *********** in the style of recent German managers.
Even though he is young, you get the feeling Wayne is more old school. His discipline is still in question after all these years and he may need too much schooling instead of being relied upon as an asset from the get go. That’s why I don’t particularly want RVP or Rio. If it has to be a former player then they should at least have some decent experience of modern coaching setups.

Yep.
It's the hope that kills you.
The idea we will have arranged a deal for one of the hot shot up and coming managers in Mid March?
Sounds too good to be true, and not our style.
Fear factor back amongst United fans more like!
Finally, the right coach. It's been 84 years...
We’ll finally have our bald fella. I have a feeling we’ll be cooking with gasoline since he’s even more aggressively bald than Pep 
This is fair. The reality is we are in the shit and the aspiration of having a former player as an assistant for the sake of image needs to be thrown out the window. He'll have a hell of a job in turning this around, the last thing he needs is an assistant who he needs to babysit and isn't on his wavelength. If it is to be him, he should be able to pick who he thinks is right.
This looks done. Major kudos to Arnold if he’s managed to pull this off in March.
Come on!!
Fantastic news but I also don't want it to interfere with the very close title run with Ajax and PSV
This is on Ten Hag as much as it's on united. Hag never takes staff with him. He's merely a head coach, nothing else. He only suggested one assistant during his interview at Spurs last summer
We will never learn will we ? Talk about tying one hand of the manager behind his back before telling him to swin in shark infested waters and then hoping he pulls through with flying colours.
Could be appointing the ghost of Busby and 1990s Ferguson and the club would still continue to fail. I like Ten Hag and he is my number one choice but I think the gig is well and truly a poison chalice.
Bold Freud?
Why?? Just let him pick his own team and staff.
I think so. It's a big step up from Derby to Manchester United and to work under one of the biggest up and coming coaches.
Maybe he gets and offer to manage a PL club this summer. I don't know if the Everton job was offered to him but it sounded like it was and he turned it down, which is strange.
Maybe he felt he wasn't ready.
Whatever the case, I've always thought he had a great footballing mind, especially listening to him speak now. He would have a perfect attitude to motivate younger players as well and would command respect, and get it.
Rooney has earned the right to be a manager himself. He will have plenty of offers from championship clubs if he leaves Derby.
Ten Hag was always first choice, surely.
Agreed. Enrique would be first choice for me. But I think he is almost certainly city bound after Pep. But Im pretty happy with Ten Hag.
Spin it however you like.
Everton?
Don’t disagree there. Was more talking about how he would mix with where Ten Haag is coming from.
Thats why he was interviewed first.
I hope this works out and we are not looking for another manager in two years time.
Even if we finish outside the top four in our first two seasons under him, at least unlike Ole and Moyes we should see a genuine improvement and plan on the pitch as long as he's allowed to clear out the rubbish and bring in some genuinely intelligent players in the Sancho mold. This would be the first manager since SAF retired that I'll happily give time to because he's the first actual up and coming young manager we've hired if you ignore us hiring a rookie from Molde.

Didn’t mean it like that. I ment that we usually take very long and take months to interview. We haven’t had any reports of us interviewing Poch so we probably haven’t bothered because he is too expensive.
Either way, I would be very pleased with EtH.
The team will throw him under the bus. Quite frankly, i dont think there is a manager available that would work currently. Him and Poch are not good enough and the team wont give them a chance anyway
Exciting stuff. Hope we support him in realizing his footballing vision and don't impose players and staff on him rather give him a helping hand the way Liverpool do with data which benefits Klopp big time.
We have won only 2 KO ties in CL since SAF retired, Ole and Moyes achieved that. Bar is too high for him to be successful
WTF?
I read so many posts about both potential managers that are just bizarre. They are both clearly very good at their jobs. With recent cv’s that shit all over our last manager’s and none of the toxicity of late career Mourinho. Whichever one we go for will be a huge improvement on anyone hired since Fergie retired, which is good enough for me.
I know it’s a massive fecking ask but is there any chance our fanbase could show a bit of patience and support to whoever gets the nod? Because they’re going to be a massive upgrade on anyone else post-Fergie but will need a bit of time to turn things round. Spewing nonsense about them “not being good enough” is just going to make this place (even more) unbearable over the next few years.
Two first names, don't trust
Probably been posted already but an interessting little thread with some tactical details.
How unprofessional and destabilising for his current club to be releasing this stuff whilst they have so much to play for? It's also stupid in the extreme with regard to our own campaign as our bunch might completely down tools off the back of the information.
Lock the man down and keep it quiet.
