He's the right profile. A charismatic young manager who plays good football. It might not work, but that's a good choice.
Life after ETH — the next United manager
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
It’s a shite source but IF Nagelsmann is open to the idea then break the (already broken) bank for him, wouldn’t be averse to Frank either but voted for the German so hopefully, not getting my hopes up though
I’d go for Iraola, done a great job at Bournemouth.
How many chances does a coach get to win a world cup with your own country. I can understand him going for that and trying to achieve that. Maybe United’s pull is big enough but I doubt it with Nagelsmann in this situation.
Immediately after doing some research and concluding Hoeness was the one for me I get a notification about Amorim haha.
Have some immediate reservations but no doubt I need to do a deeper dive and I hope it works out.

Agreed. The same thing was being said two years ago; that because of his success, ETH wouldn’t consider us.
I reckon there’s a relatively small number for whom the job would be a hard no. Pep and Klopp for obvious reasons. Alonso is probably holding out for Real. Managers at our main rivals are unlikely to move. Most of the rest could be persuaded with the right offer
Ornstein saying it's Amorim
United dont go wrong with Sporting.
Ronaldo,Nani,Bruno,Queiroz.

United could always get Nagelsmann ,Inzaghi,Iraola, Frank or Simeone next year.
We're a carousel.

Legitimately exciting appointment if that’s true. Good sources reporting it too, so might very well be on.
I'm assuming this is a token gesture...so Utd aren't accused of exclusion of minorities (minority skill level that is)
As long as it’s not Southgate. If somehow Ineos have some sort of collective brain fart and appoint him I really don’t know what I’ll do. Might just go full on super villain and become like the Joker or something.
Not really a great list of managers to choose from so honestly don’t care as long as it’s not Southgate. At a push I’d maybe lean towards Emery more than any of the others, unless the Don fancies a crack at it. SAF’s original pick.

WOW - fairly certain reporting from Ornstein...was not expecting this today. Pleasantly surprised!
On paper at least it will be a huge upgrade.
I'd be very content with this!
Holy crap wow it's really happening?!
I've read that Amorin isn't quite all that high press all out brave football as much we think though.
Where are the Sporting fans?!

God I hope he can get Bruno firing again.
NICE ONE!! 
Should help Ugarte as well.
Before our match against Brentford, former Liverpool player, Jan Mølby, stated to Danish television that he knows for sure that Manchester United have been in contact with Brentford to hear how much they want to let Thomas Frank go.
Jan Mølby also stated that he does not know whether United have asked about other managers as well. But they have certainly asked about Thomas Frank.

@Sly @SportingCP96 what say you?
Amorim would be an exciting appointment, just like ETH back then.
Is this why we've been hoarding CBs? Moving to 3 at the back with Amorim.

No Frank please. Amorim would be a good choice.
In Rúben we trust.
Like I already said in other posts, there's nothing in the portuguese media yet. But I like to respond to everyone that tags me
I do wonder if Bruno knew about this potential appointment when he talked about Amorim during the international week with Portugal? If so, his influence at United far exceeds than what I’d like.
Orney does not spread half truths. Looks like Amorim it is.
As a former Sporting player he had plenty of reason to talk about Amorim without it having anything to do with this, feels like a huge jump. I would guess he was asked about him as well, not brought him up out of nothing.
Ornstein approved. This one is in the bag, folks. Ornstein was likely the one that told Amorim that he'd agreed the move in the first place.
Would be a coup for sure!
Same here, sick of zombie football I'd have had more patience with ETH if we were losing 4-3 even
What's Amorims football like? I know a lot of people in here have said they'd like us to go for him. Will he be able to keep these down tools at a drop of a hat wasters in line?
Gone with Frank, not only is he a great tactition, but his premier league experience will be invaluable, given our current situation. He'd be the best candidate imo to come in and hit the ground running, also seems like the players here, can be a good fit for his style/tactics.
That's that then. Great choice.
Holy ! Looks like Berrada & board made up their mind.
Can they stick to it, we'll see, but this guy needs to succeed, and seriously stomp the problems, rather than assess it.

Strongly looking like Amorim now, let’s hope he proves us right. It’s a big step up, so we’ll see. Quite right though, we simply needed to move on from ETH and quickly.
Frank also can play with 3 at the back. But the massive bonus for me, is his PL experience.
"Thomas Frank is one of the best. It's just a question of time [before he joins a big European club], it's going to happen. I'm good in a few things, one of which is reading when the manager is good." Pep
That's not that impressive. What's really impressive is that I read your post and it made me change my vote from Alonso to him before seeing the news myself.Damn...
Hopefully Amorim can quickly gain the confidence and trust from the players. Feels like we may need someone with a bit more experience (as in the traditional top 4-6 leagues) and weight behind them. Erik was of the same guild from the Dutch league, especially a mid season appointment - you need to galvanise quickly to build momentum.
