Worst scout to ever exist
Of course we would. We have weaknesses, but everyone in our team is playing so far away from their best and that is down to the manager. You want your manager to prove they can get a system which brings the best out of your players first before justifying spending hundreds of millions on players. We have quality players all around the pitch, plenty of quality young players, but a few glaring holes. Some signings are of course needed. But nothing dramatic. Look at Arsenal with Emery. Look at Sarri with Chelsea. Look at Liverpool with Klopp vs them with Rodgers. Look at City with Pellegrini vs them with Pep. Look at Real Madrid with Zidane and the with Lopetegui. Literally countless examples. One manager can get this group of players playing quality attacking, high pressing football and be an entertaining team, while another manager will park the bus.The worst thing though is we wouldn’t be any better with new manager. Unless he can buy 5-6 new players tomorrow.
Saying "we wouldn't be any better with a new manager" is such complete bullshit and laughable. Yeah, we won't be better off if we bring in another defensive manager like Simeone or Conte or Allegri or something like that. The people in charge need some self-awareness and realize what United is as a club and what type of manager this club needs. Not Moyes, who has always been mid table level and more defensive minded than attacking. Not Van Gaal who is obsessed with possession statistics and not letting the opposition create chances rather then focusing on creativity. Not Mourinho who is seemingly obsessed with being as anti-Barcelona/anti-Pep/anti-Klopp as possible and try and prove that his way is better than that way of playing. We need an attacking manager who understands the club, its traditions, and will encourage the team to play towards that.
