Yes I’m sure that an Italian style football is just what we need
Ancelotti, Ranieri, Conte = PL winners.
Massimiliano Allegri targets Manchester United job
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Ancelotti, Ranieri, Conte = PL winners.
Mancini
No thanks
Ancelotti and Ranieri are Italian by nationality but not by footballing style, Conte definitely is.
Would've preferred Conte if we're going to go with an Italian manager.

2 out of 3 took over squads a hell of a lot better than ours, the 3rd is arguable
There would be better options. We can pay any manager in the world very very well.
No thanks
Christ, true; feels like ages ago.
Was goal!
He would soon have the fans against him. Fans would put up with boring dreary football for awhile, particularly if winning, but then soon turn against him if he wasn't winning trophies, whereas an expansive attacking manager is given more time if seen to be moving forward. Personally, I have had enough of this dreary tripe, as we are not winning anything anyway, & speaking to fellow Man Utd fans are not alone.
Realistically, if Allegri is given the type of transfer output Jose got in 2016, we can sign a midfielder and a couple of attackers, then we could be coached into being a good team with a hungry winner in charge.
The reactions in this thread are ridiculous. One of the best managers in the world. He should be top priority for any big club.
I'm struggling to think of anyone for this job.
We need Sir Alex to come out of retirement to save us, that is literally the only person who I think could.
Other than that give Ole time Fergie got plenty of time to get shit together and look where that got us.
You can't expect Ole to work miracles with this squad, it just isn't going to happen. The 3 signings he has made have been pretty solid, I look forward to what we can do in January.
Our two greatest managers in our history Sir Matt and Sir Alex played attacking football.
I don't crave exciting losing football. I firmly believe a more attack minded front foot approach will trump a pragmatic one at a club with United's aspirations. Someone like Nagelsmann fits our traditions and ethos better than someone dull like Allegri.
Not exactly very good but he is a very good tactician
No thanks i've seen enough boring pragmatic football to last a lifetime the last few years. The football isn't great right now but at least with Ole and other managers the goal is to try to play entertaining, attacking football at some point. Allegri wouldn't even try.
What? We have the worst GD ratio of PL history.
Would prefer Poch but I would be happy with Allegri. Good manager and doesn't come with the extra baggage that Jose brought.
Didn't Utd score a shitload of goals with Mou the negative guy?
But I don't trust Woodward and the structure of recruitment to make obvious, clear cut improvements like Maguire, AWB or James. If we're thinking 2016, I assume you mean Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Bailly?
Two forwards and at least one central mid, preferably two central mids and a change of tactical setting (i.e. 3 central mids) + Allegri's coaching would be great. But I still think Ole should be given his time and Allegri, if this is serious, should wait it out.
You seem to have missed two other important parts of that sentence mate.
While Ole says this, it hasn't been the case since he got the job permanently.
Holy shit, you could have fooled me.
I’d do regrettable things to have him here. AllegrIN!
100% agree. If we keep buying losers, we'll keep losing.
Are there many teams that play in more than one league?
At some point. Can Utd afford a 9th-11th season?
His football was worse than Van Gaals at times as far as entertainment goes. In fact I'd go as far as saying it was more defensive than Jose in a few games i watched.
If we're making a change to our manager, i think there's other coaches I'd rather take a chance with that are more likely to improve our play.

I imagine he says it because he means it, that doesn't necessarily mean he has the talent or the players to implement it though.
Literally the only manager in the world that could properly manage Pogba at Man Utd. Bring back some of that 2014-15 magic.
Meh. Theres managers more suited to United IMO. This would be the Mourinho route though less proven but also less of a cnut
Ask yourself this, are you prepared to sit through worse football than Jose’s for the the occasional top 4 finish?
Because that’s the most we can hope for in the next couple of years, regardless of who the manager is.
If you do, Allegri could be your man, I personally don’t want to sleep through matches week in week out, if you do, that’s your right and choice.

Literally not.
Who knows but at least in that scenario there would be hope. With Allegri there would be none.
I take back what I said earlier. But he’s got the reputation that at least warrants some consideration.
Ole doesn't have the vision or guts to ask for the right players. At least Mou complained about it.
Because current 2019's "struggling to score a goal and pray we don't concede" brings joy and happiness, right?
You guys need to witness Utd being massacred by City or Pool to finally wake up: Ole's era ended in spring 2019.
A manager learning English? Not like that isn't going to help him wherever he ends up. Not convinced this is anything to do with us.
Could be a subtle little come and get me hint though especially if it's planted by Di Marzio.

Yeah but Jose complained about everything, plus lets be honest he definitely didn't ask for the right players. He mostly wanted declining players the wrong side of 30 on huge deals like Matic, Sanchez, Perisic, Boateng, Willian, Alderweireld etc.
