Not sure why Enrique is being even mentioned. We need a manager in early summer, not one coming in mid season again. Enrique is not leaving Spaniah job before a World Cup. We'd basically be writing off another season. Unless we decided to give Rangnick another season and Enrique took over summer 2023. That would be incredibly risky though.

It's a pattern with us, always few years late when it comes to managers it seems. Or early, we were in for Klopp in 2014 when he wasn't ready to leave Dortmund, then in 2015 we were never in for him as it was going well for us under van Gaal until after Klopp signed with Liverpool.
Don't forget Van Gaal. Winning CLs and La Liga titles in the late 90's, boring us to death in the mid 2010's.
Thats the logic. If Rangnick clicks and stays on a bit longer then Enrique can be considered.
Maybe the Spanish FA might be okay with it if they went about it the right way (not sure what that would even look like) but he's not going to make the same mistake as Lopetegui and get himself sacked prior to the tournament by agreeing to a new job before the tournament.
I think Rangnick should only be given another season if our options are so limited that we're talking about Brendan Rodgers or Ancelotti.
He might get pushed before being given a chance to jump.
Anyway the report, completely made up or not, doesn't say "we" are interested in Ancelotti; merely that SAF has recommended him.
Apparently he was instrumental in bringing Ronnie back. That doesn't necessarily mean it was his idea; it's possible that Woodward simply asked him for some help.
You are absolutely correct. My mistake.
I find that hard to believe that a man who worked with no DoF or football structure at Utrecht would be against a club where the structure is slowly being rolled out.
Also Ancelotti in 2022?
Paul Hirst is also saying Ancelotti is an option.

You know we're so stupid that I'm actually believing these Carlo reports.
I was sceptical at first but Hirst is reliable.
They are all just guessing. Remember they all had no idea when Rangnick came in.
Enrique has more of a proven track record than Poch and Ten Hag. I would rather wait for the best option.

Going to be the last turkey in the shop again isn't it?
No no I’m convinced Murtough has a plan. We’ll be just like Liverpool, trust the process on the glazer train!
Imagine after all the heated arguments about Poch vs Ten Hag, all the analyzing of both their pros and cons, all the statistics and opinions, name calling, everything. Walls of text.
And we go for Ancelotti .
Prime Manchester United.

There is no way Ancelloti would be considered - this is just BS journalism - he is a max 2 season journeyman - hardly someone that is going to build something for the future! This would be the anti Rangnick suggestion…..
It’s only because he will be free again this summer and that Fergie enjoyed a few glasses of red with him over the years that enables poor journalists to get some extra clickbait

Hirst is not clickbait by any stretch of the imagination. Just because it doesn’t agree with your opinion of how things go doesn’t mean it’s BS. God I despise football when it comes to fans/journalism.
The reliable Hirst:
Other journo’s have backed this up and have more or less stated if our top targets are not met then they are looking at short term targets, presumably until our targets are available. (Why we can’t just pay them out of their contracts, I don’t know, but it makes sense)
Its total nonsense.
Even the way they word the headlines reads like total nonsense.
People who are saying the Carlo news are nonsense just don't want to believe to the club can be this stupid.
But the reality is we're THAT stupid indeed.

I despise fans believing that any journalist is EVER 100% 'reliable'. It is absolutely clickbait nonsense and there is zero chance that Ancelotti will be approached as anything other than temporary, and I'd have -extreme- doubts on that. It may have been a red herring fed to journo's.
I hear ya, it really wouldn’t surprise me.
When Fergie jacked it in I wanted Ancelotti but now? Nah! time has moved on.
I’m not sure why people are laughing off Ancelotti, he seems to be doing quite well at Madrid and has a consistent track record of competence.
He's done fine at Madrid but it seems even their fans want him sacked. He's not done anything particularly good as a in a very long time.
Personally would rather keep Ralf as manager than appointing Carlo.
This would only make sense if we were after Enrique and used Ancelotti as a stop gap until after the World Cup. Although that being said surely we’d just stick with Ralf until then in that scenario?
Only United: let’s replace the short term interim manager with a long term interim manager
Either way, not surprising that ETH isn’t keen on joining us. While we are aspiring to have a structure, we’re still taking advice from an ex (albeit legendary) manager with questionable recommendations.
The United way!

we're not look at Ancelotti, just breathe everyone
it's the same with player links, we get linked to all sorts for a few clicks especially on a slow news days
it's meaningless

SAF should have zero say in anything regarding the club going forward.
Ancelotti should be nowhere near the job considerations.
Ancelotti should be nowhere near the job considerations.
He was my first pick after when SAF left. Too fecking late now. He seems washed up and looking for a nice pay check.
Don't believe he has a say nor do i believe Ancelotti will be in the running to become the next united manager
The UK tabloid journalists pure speculation with each click bait article is very tiresome at this stage.
The Times and Paul Hirst don't really fall into that category though.
I think we should stop taking SAF advices. Yes he is a legend, but Moyes didnt work out, OGS was probably his doing too, and he probably had a good unfluence on bringing Ronaldo back, which has not really worked out for us.
His United is in the past, that so-called United DNA is outdated.

Spot on. We need to move on and bring someone in who can create a new identity and a new style of play for us. I think ten Haag would be perfect for doing exactly that.
I was scared with this Don Carlo news but then was surprised that nobody wants to acknowledge the key words ‘if there top targets aren’t available’.
I mean it’s a bloody no story.

Highly doubt that a Dutchman would be in need of further English lessons but glad to hear it nonetheless
