Makes perfect sense, get ETH in place earlier so it can help us secure signings quicker.

Fergie has already made it clear with his support of Giggs and Ole for managerial roles that he is too sentimental to be trusted with any decision relating to the club.
We have 8 over the age of 30, two of whom are back up goalies and two of whom are out of contract in the summer. That's also not including 29 year old Pogba and Lingard who are both most likely off too. It's the 9th oldest squad in the league. Don't know how he's managed it but Gary Neville has somehow got us confused with fecking Burnley who have the oldest team in the league with 13 players above 30
Gary Neville said Man Utd have an aging squad and at the end of Next Season it will be 13 players 30 or over. The 5th or 6th oldest in the league.
He was actually 1 sort and it is 14.
Of the players who are over 30, Cavani, Mata and Grant will be leaving. The others are Ronaldo, Heaton, De Gea and Matic
Players turning who are or turning 30 Pogba and Lingard both look like leaving, Jones, Maguire, Fred, Telles and Varane.
Maybe I get that one vote now for promotion
No seriously, think it's quite clear why most are angling for ETH.
Football can change quickly, and the body of work is showing at this time a manager maybe has potentially went backwards regarding their performance, lot of questions marks about where their mental state might be, as management is a tough game and we have seen what has happened in the past with Jose etc...........and the other manager seems to be building into his peak, with a different mindset on winning, and building teams, and is not potentially damaged goods.
Both are risks, but I think Hag is the man you would rather take that risk with.
Would also mark a massive change with the club with how we are doing things from now on in, instead of the usual samey samey we have seemed to be operating at with "we do things our way" which seems to be out of date.
This time we will be showing everyone we have got a plan for the future and we actually aren't the laughing stock everyone has been making us out to be this season.
Of course she was. Scouse.
Poch shortened to 3/1 from 8/1 this week, while ETH is now 1/2
Plus he’s bald and has a beard, so dream replacement.
Rolling her eyes when talking about ten Hag, what's that about?
Was willing to give her the benefit of doubt before despite her Liverpool ties but she is a poor speaker and seems biased.
Micky mouse league or not to some people, hard to get past that record, especially factoring in the damage they have done in Europe too, with rebuild squads
Inappropriate Behavior
Accent of a arogant bitch. Looks like one too.
For discussions to reach thia stage, it's him.

Must say, she does have a odd accent.
Indian? Edit: South African, Indian heritage.
Not long now. All aboard the Ten Hag train. Chooo choooooo!
2 years ago we had the youngest??
Is he using the number of players over 30 as metric for oldest squad or are we the oldest on average?
Also how many of those 13, if that's the correct figure, are soon to be shipped out?
Still believe the club is looking for an excuse to get Poch. Which legends haven’t come out in support of him yet? Expect those quotes to leak tomorrow/Friday.
Stop panicking
I thought Indian with the name Reddy tbh
Why does she shout.
Is it not concerning that the club are approaching players by themselves without a new manager? who is to stay the manager would want the players the club "may" be approaching?
of course, the flip side could be that they have their choice and the potential new manager and agreed on the players the club are approaching.
i am not too sure the club are that savvy though.
a lot of circling in this response, i know
The whole point of the DOF and supporting roles is that the club should have ideas of players they want irrespective of the manager (who has input into that but is not the person who dictates it)
And you hire managers with playing styles that fit thay profile of player
Surely can’t be that much longer now till we announce, it’s clearly only between 2 managers… ETH and pochettino. How hard can it be to make the right choice. By the time we announce it he’d of retired.
Who is she?
Yeah appointing Ten Hag still feels to good to be true, wish some of these ex players watched Football outside of the Premier League then maybe might rate Ten Hag instead of Pochettino.
Another target missed
Yeah I would have been all for Pochettino getting the job when LVG or Jose got sacked, however don't feel he's been the same since that Champions League Final defeat and Ten Hag has really emerged.
The break has come and gone. Whatever happens with this appointment, Ten Hag or otherwise, the club needs to rebuild from top to bottom.
She used to cover Liverpool for Independent. Also rumoured to be Sadio Mane girlfriend. Have no idea if that is true but she had nothing good to say about United, Everton or even City. Biased as they come towards Liverpool
Sensible post. At this point, I’m 51% Poch, 49% Ten Hag. Both have red flags and aren’t top 10 managers in the world IMHO. Poch’ s main red flag is his lack of trophies. ETH’s red flag is lack of experience in the PL, lack of experience dealing with a Pogba or Ronaldo, and the fact that the Eredivise is a pretty weak league and Ajax is a huge club in comparison to others.
I don’t see why there are people on the Caf who get so worked up when someone has a different opinion regarding ETH.
Thanks for the nuance in your post.
So PSV in Title race with Ajax and announce new manager for next season so no excuses for us to intefere with Ajax season by announcing ETH as our new manager next season. Just get the deal done ffs.
Something I couldn't live with 24/7.
Our rivals are desperate for us to appoint Poch, including that scouse sky news reporter apparently. That should tell you something!
Feck me, can't believe Utd have finally made a smart move. Hopefully this is the beginning of something special. I've seen bits amd pieces of ETH being a disciplinarian? True? It's what this team needs.
PSV manager had already announced that their manager was leaving so this an appointment announcement. Ten Hag hasnt mentioned he is leaving and our relationship with Ajax is good so we wouldn’t want to disturb their title bid by announcing their manager is our next manager. May isnt that far anyway
What does this even mean? That United are hiring him only because fans want him?
If anything we go the opposite and hire manager who were successful but obviously past it. This is the first time we are hiring a manager that is elite while overachieving at a club
Read this, thought it was a weird jump.. went on Twitter and saw this:
I despair that a seemingly large portion of our fanbase listen to what this guy says. He’s spent most of the day making light of the Maguire booing too, which is unsurprising seeing as he’s one of the big reasons behind his constant online abuse.
Anyway, back on topic. What are you talking about? Why is there a need to announce anything now? To ease a fraction of the fanbases impatience?
I think if he played like that with the likes of Messi Mbabbe and Neymar he'd be sacked on the spot. I watched that tie and thought PSG did well but they still got knocked out. He had a big chance there to prove himself but bottled it. I think if he comes here it will just be constant top 4 races and nothing more.
