Pogba, Ronaldo and now Shaw today all with subtle hints. This seems to be going only one way. Seems @golden_blunder was correct with his thread a few weeks back he has lost the players.

It takes a few weeks mate. Anyone in the existing coaching setup can be the caretaker until then. Ole himself could last a couple of weeks, I wouldn't mind.
Yup.
My big question is why they waited until they were 3 years in to try to implement a new pressing system. We've had plenty of average, work your socks off type players like Pereira, Lingard etc. who could've pretty effective had they started sooner.
It was a type of performance any PL team would feel embarrassed with. To be honest I think most Championship sides would feel down about losing 5-0 at home to Liverpool (or any team) in that manner. It was unbelievably bad.
Weird that Liverpool have retired two of our managers if this turns out to be true 
All feels very inevitable.

Me too, i hate Conte's football, why do we keep going for boring, negative managers.
I’ve been Ole unsure since Leipzig away happened, but given that he got us to 2nd last season I believed it was right that he had the chance to prove it wasn’t a fluke. 9 PL games and 2 and a bit months in and his position is untenable now. He must go. There is no coming back from this.
Why? He was underwhelming and invisible under Fergie and remains the same today.
It would have been interesting to see how Ole did with different coaches, but that ship has sailed now.
They should go though. No doubt
Fletcher actually isn't that unrealistic if Ole is sacked today.
IF that happens, you'd expect all of Phelan, McKenna and Carrick to follow him out the door.
As in - you wouldn't expect any of those to get a caretaker gig (at least I wouldn't - based on...nothing much, but yeah, I just can't see it happening).
So, who gets a purely emergency appointment, as it were? Just to have someone in the dugout, as you say? Fletcher does have his badges (doesn't he?). And he isn't a part of Ole's actual coaching team (all of whom would - again - follow him out the door if a decision has been made to end the Ole era, as it were).
What's that?
It's perfect timing by complete chance. Ole goes this week and Fletcher/the coaching staff go through until international break. That gets the inevitable City drubbing out the way.
Fletcher has been actively taking part in training drills, not coaching them just having a kick about with the lads.
Interim, caretaker whatever. He is just another job for the boys and nothing will change as he will be in there with McKenna and Carrick.
Top to bottom learning on the job needs to end.

Yeah I’d agree with that, if it’s Conte it should be a 2 year deal max. He’s not my preferred candidate by any means.
Blanc has managed big personalities, played for United, mentioned wanting to manage here, and did a cracking job with Bordeaux. I doubt you’d find a more qualified caretaker.
I’ve a feeling United are still a little in love with Poch and regret now not getting him, I could conceivably imagine a deal being done for him to come in next Summer.
I just wish more than anything we offer Ten Hag silly money to come now.
Please don’t. I can’t take it.Depressing list of options really
I agree. Some posters seem to be panicking about the use of 'caretaker' and the (low) possibility of them becoming the permanent manager
Klopp had substance though. He'd broken the Bayern dominance by winning Bundesliga and put in good showings in the Champions League over a number of seasons at Dortmund, and also got them to the final.
Giggs
What’s his prison status currently?
If Fletcher is just till the international break and Conte/Zidane coming in i can understand it.
Any longer than that is rank idiocy.

Yeah but he seems like a decent steward. The other 3 were beta males and were never going to have the killer instincts required.
I'd like Phelan to stick around.
How's Nagelsmann on that list?! He is having a pretty good season so far at Bayern and only switched clubs in the summer... The odds should be 1000/1
What? Where?
Darren’s at the wheel!
I'd honestly go for Brendan out of that list. Ten Hag probably just ahead of him but would he come?
Why is Bren-ton so high on the list. He's employed.
We are not going to give Conte a 1.5 year deal now and there is no way on earth he works accept one either.
The man is a proven winner and is at the top of his game. He is the one that will dictate his terms and that's the way it should be
Solving the crap coach problem by sacking Ole is not going to solve the midfield problem, the pressing problem, the Ronaldo problem or the fundamental Glazer problem that underpins the rest.
You have to ask what kind of mercenary or fool would want Ole's job at this point?

out on bail I think, he could do it on tag and report to Stretford Station every night.
I thought he promoted McKenna at least? You might be right on Carrick though, I think Mou gave him a coaching role.
Pochettino?
He would leave Psg now to manage United in October?
Science fiction
Presumably they'd give it to Fletcher and not Phelan because Phelan is tied to the old Ole regime. And likely to be sacked when the new manager comes in. Obviously McKenna and Carrick will be out the door as well.
Fletcher is technical director and so doesnt answer to the next manager anyway. It would make sense if it was just for a game or two.

My guy. You can't say something like this and not provide anything for us to read that from.
What have they said?
When Rui Faria left both McKenna and Carrick joined Mourinho's coaching team.
Same for me. You would get some longevity from him, good coach and gets his teams playing decent football
Mourinho brought in McKenna when Rui Faria left didn't he?
Ole definitely promoted Carrick and presumably made McKenna the one ultimately in charge of training.
