Obviously.
Cue a load of people shouting they never fancied him.
But there's actual proof that a considerable percentage did fancy him at various points. And if he had been appointed, he would've been vocally supported by a huge majority on here - of that there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
Most people would've found a way to defend his über cringy celebration of a point against...whoeveritwas too. And they would've lapped up his recent EL comment, not least. United fans in general didn't think much of the EL until we won it - unsurprisingly. Tables turned and it would've been delusional scousers hailing a second class trophy all the way.
