It's one thing if you are talking about winning any silverware, I mean we did come close just last year. If you are talking about the title, well it takes more than just a good manager I'm afraid. It's an elite, winning mentality that even Fergie took awhile to cultivate.

I think finishing 4th would be sensible and work from there.
Very good postPoch is definitely a much more safe choice than ETH.
Which manager United choose likely tell us which strategy the club go for: 1. A long term rebuild (again) not demanding or expecting titles the next two years, or 2. Get United back in the good company as fast as possible (next season or the season thereafter).
Alternative 1 = United go for ETH.
Alternative 2 = United go for Poch.
I think United have learned their lessons. No one is patient in this game. United can’t afford to sit quite in the boat in order to harvest the fruits in 3-4y. United can’t take that risk again: ending up with nothing.
United is crazy if the go for alternative 1: a long term rebuild, and as long as we progress bla bla…. The new manager will never have working peace. Players, supporters and everyone will start complaining if United have a bad spell or doesn’t get results already next season. I don’t think ETH is the best choice if we want results quickly, and I don’t think he survives if he doesn’t fix things pretty fast. Poch will probably be more impatient himself and have a great hunger for quick results.
I want us to go all in and do as many big quick fixes as fast as possible and take it from there. Yes… I know I’ve changed my mind from earlier posts
We don't have a culture at the club anymore, if there is any, then it's not the right one.
We're going to need a manager who cultivates a winning mentality, a stellar job is needed, he'll have to start from scratch.

Out of Ten Hag or Pochettino- who is more likely to change De Gea as their number 1? Ie wanting a more all rounded goalkeeper?
Ten Hag. His sides are more focussed on building up from the back.
Why is it that we manutd fans love sacked coaches? We are not as lucky as Chelsea when it comes to managers. Please you guys should remember the last time we hired a sacked manager what happened in the end....
We should look at coaches that are doing great on and off the pitch, a coach that can rebuild a team in no time. Not coaches sacked by Chelsea and Tottenham.

With alternative 2, I mostly mean we should be contenders or be in the title race until April. If so, everything can happen. We should be top 3–4 as a minimum, and the gap up shouldn’t be big. We are pretty far from that now. I think the new manager have to do some serious quick fixes in order to bring us there.
Alternative 1 is to me that we accept results like today and be nr. 4-9 in the league because we want to build a team who is competitive in 2025. Alternative 2 is a very bad idea. What if we fail bringing results in 2025 and the long term project chrash like it did with Ole’s project?
We are bad now but we should stop pretending we always need 3y to build things up again. It’s smal margins and I think much can change with a new manager, replacement of several outgoing players and a new season; starting with clean sheets.

Appointing ETH is with other words a gamble!
Spot on. Those days are over. Can’t think of any top manager in the game who oversees absolutely all aspects of a club now, it makes the job Fergie did all that more impressive.
That long term project has got to be better than the one we’ve been selling under Woodward. I hope we get ETH, I really do. If we have a free run at him it could happen.
I think we'll get him him if the board want him. That's a big if though, cant help but feel they are set on Poch.
Thats what worries me. It is all going to end up the same. We need someone like ETH and give him a few years too.
PSG and Ajax are still in the CL, but I hope this gets wrapped up sooner rather than later, one way or another. Or whoever comes will find himself under quite the pressure to figure things out.
I agree on your point but City already reached agreement with Pep long before they were in danger of missing on CL this season. More like they collapsed after they announced their agreement with him.
Pochettino is about to become available.
Nooooooo
Came in to say the same thing. SNAP.
does not mean we should get him, for me he is the last person I want as manager.
I have a terrible fear that Poch flopping in the CL with PSG would make our mind up for next manager in entirely the wrong direction.
Epic chokejob from the clubs favorite candidate...
Well I think we can get Poch on the cheap now. The board will be cheering the Madrid comeback. Please no
No, but the Board may be swayed by the lack of compensation
Sadly , no compensation could be what brings him here.
I dont think he is what we need to move forward.
Please don't go for Poch just because he will be free.
The time for Poch was years ago. Not anymore

Surely witnessing this bottle job against Real Madrid is enough to steer the board in Ten Hags direction.
I wouldn't go for Poch after this.
Also I would accelerate the move for ten Hag because otherwise PSG will get him 100% this summer.

I don't necessarily blame Poch for his players bricking it. I just worry that our club is so prone to short-term thinking that they won't willingly pay more to secure a manager if they don't have to, even if the reason for paying less is failure in a major competition.
Welcome to United Mauricio Pochettino! He'll fit right in with the losers and dross that currently pollute the squad, no wonder they like him so much.

There's no way Ten Hag would ever fit in with a team like PSG, absolutely no way. He would never go to a team like that
I’m starting to hope we hire Ten Haag as a matter of curiosity.
Some of you lot are so wedded to the idea that I worry for your sanity when it all goes tits up.

Soon we'll see Pochettino being welcomed to the club. We all can feel it.
Yeah could happen before the end of the season now.
Give it Carlo. Still got it.
It fits the criteria of our latest appoints, with the exception of Ole.
If only…. Won’t be done until the summer out of respect for there current clubs. Both our main targets are at clubs… it
He didn’t have it in the first leg though where he got outplayed and dominated. They won and got through because of psg mistakes and lack of finishing.
So, Poch it is. Glazers will not miss to hire free manager
Would be quite embarrassing for the club rewarding someone for a legendary collapse like that with the United job.
P$G were utterly embarrassing and feckless despite having the most expensive and talented squad in the world with the likes of Mbappe and fecking Messi

Forget all of these boring modern football nerds, we need some style at Old Trafford.
Ah Poch this, Poch that etc., etc.
