How is our squad that talented? We don’t have anyone barely who can play at the level City can and our players are proven bottlers.

Don’t say Ronaldo either he just can’t these days. Pogba and Bruno, Sancho can maybe Varane. That’s it.

Bruno, Pogba, Sancho, Varane, Maguire, Rashford, Shaw, Elanga, and even Lingard are all quite talented. Ralf is responsible for getting his team into form and having them play well. He's failed miserably with Maguire and Rashford. Dalot played well repeatedly only to be taken out of the team for an incompetent AWB.
 
The most overrated manager I've ever seen In my life. So bad in fact he didn't even get a new manager bounce.

And all the talk and drivel before he signed, like he was some Mythical Unicorn.
News flash, he was at fecking Lokomotiv Moscow for a reason. The man's not Premier League level nevermind Uniteds.

Talks the talk but he's full of shit.

I said today was his first real test and it has proven he hasn't taken us forward an inch.
After one of the easiest runs of fixtures I've ever seen, the players would have been somewhat up for this and still looked like amateurs.
Wait now to see how out of touch and demoralised they look after this next set of fixtures.

I'm calling it now, the man won't see game 38 in charge.
What's the point of that. Unless we are getting Poch...
 
You do realize Rangnick's "main dish" is his following 2 years of consultancy, right? Having hand-on experience with the squad while being interim will provide him a realistic view. I see no harm in that.

I actually prefer this scenario rather than hiring a dinosaur like Conte and scraping top 4, with defensive football. That's what we had in mind with Mourinho. Why go through it again?

Or you prefer the old model of one big manager in charge of everything like Fergie, instead of a modern football structure with a board of people?
Under Ralf we played 14 matches in the PL, scored 21 goals, and conceded 14.
Conte with 10x lesser team in Tottenham 15 matches in the PL, scored 26 and conceded 16 goals.


Every Conte team has scored plenty of goals, and played fast paced football. Conte ain't doing great with Tottenham, but there is no comparison between him and Rangnick.
 
Very disappointed by what he got out of us in the second half.
He has to do better but he brings on Rashford and lingard and they jog and walk


The players gave up. Disgraceful

Ralf should look at the kids now. Get in some who will run, like elanga.
 
It’s strange the amount of hate is being thrown at Rangnick. Have the Ole in brigade found a new sword to fall on?
 
Well, if you feck RR, then you should feck the players and the board first.

1. The players had not enough stamina to keep running within 90mins in modern football tactic nowaday when ManCity players can keep running and pressing everywhere in every minutes.
2. The players' decision making are fecking slow, poor & wrong and passing are so inaccurate when you have a space.
2. The players keep creating individual mistakes and "mis-position" to lead the concede goal.
3. The board had no interest to buy some power house to him to fill the midfield hole, moreover, the board also pushed the player loaned to trim up the salary to cause that week bench line.

Well, i do not think this team can be managed by any managers to fight with Well-tuned Top teams.

He’s a methodology manager on a 6 month contract. He could be the best in the world but why should the players buy into anything that will completely change in 6 months?

Exactly, that's what you get from hiring an interim before the half of the season.
Even Klopp and Guardiola had their low moments in the first months.

Agree can't understand how or why he has been appointed interim manager and a move upstairs in the future. Get rid now before we waste another load of money.
 
AWB, why is he at the club, let alone starting?

Taking Pogba off when he was the only one who was passing accurately, why? Baffling decisions.
 
No manager is going to turn these players into challengers. Stop deluding yourselves. We need a complete overhaul of the squad to stand a chance.
 
I'm of the opinion that Ole has no idea, so a terrible comparison. I just don't want us to half ass it in the summer, I want to pursue progressive style of football and to see players not capable booted out the door.
We've done this before. We need a manager who sees this as a long term project. There were many elements of Ole that suited what we needed which is why it worked a bit. He understood the club and the project. We can't afford to have another LVG or Mourinho again. We need a young manager who has had relative success using his tactics that is not a controversial figure and would like to start and build his legacy at United. This can be ETH, Poch etc.

They're trying to convince everyone that Ole shouldn't have been sacked and that it was an impossible job all along and only Ole's genius kept us up for that long.

You, like so many others here will be shocked to see our next manager suffer with the same issues if the club continue to operate the way it has. There won't be a miracle worker to change our fortunes in a short period of time. Rangknick haa done a fine job in my opinion considering the mess the board and Solskjaer left.

I am not sure what you expect him to do, our players are simply not good neough.

We don't play city every week now do we, drew or lost to the likes of Burnley, Watford, Newcastle and Southampton.
 
He got sacked because he lost 4 out of his last 5 games, all humiliating defeats with 16 goals conceded. It had nothing to do of our league position.

We can only hypothesize, but it is safe to assume that with Ole we would be fighting for relegation, with Rashford starting all the games.
I’m not sure it is safe to assume that. We’d likely be in a similar position.

Because he's well on his way to taking us to the bottom half of the table.
The man's clueless.

Knocked out of the cup by Middlesbrough to boot. Fecking Embarrassment.
 
You do wonder what people think he can do with the menagerie of circus clowns under him.

Players will never be at fault here.

We have players who are no where near utd quality like maguire, awb, rashford, lingard, fred and mct. On top of that we have bruno and pogba who more often than not go missing in big games.

Did i mention we dont have forwards ?

Yep lets shit on the manager when rashford and lingard are strolling after 5 mins on the pitch and our defense gets outmanned.

This entire squad needs to be gutted inside out before anything can actually change. Or we can continue sacking managers and wonder why we're shit under any manager.

There's a reason pep doesn't coach mid table teams, because he knows his style of play demands top quality technical players and he knows he cannot polish turd. Our fans expect managers to polish turd and hang them out to dry if they can't.

I'm not arguing for him as a permanent manager. I'm arguing for the club doing everything they can to ensure they get a top class manager who has a progressive vision. For me, that is either ten Hag or Enrique. If ten Hag doesn't fancy it, I'd have Rangnick hold onto things until Enrique has finished the World Cup.

The mandate Rangnick should have in the summer, whether he's manager or upstairs, should be to completely change this squad of players.
 
The club is fecked. We need to just live with it I guess. No manager is changing this unless he is allowed to bring in at least 5 new first team players.

It’s very bad now and will only get worse in my opinion.
 
I am not sure what you expect him to do, our players are simply not good neough.

Teams that have gone to the Etihad this season and had more shots than us and lost by less goals:

Crystal Palace
Wolves
Brentford
Burnley
Spurs

But yes, sure. A 4-1 hammering is the best we could possibly hope for with these players.
 
I think he could've got a better tune out of these players, why is that such a odd view ?
 
We're just no way near good enough at this level. Against a team like City we are ruthlessly exposed. We've nicked a few results over recent years but generally speaking we are not even in the same league individually or collectively. I don't think there's a manager in the world that can overturn that situation with the current squad. We can nick results because that's football but the probabilities are always massively stacked against us due to quality of players.

We just have to hope Ralf can muddle us through this season and by some miracle arrive in the top 4. That's all there is to it at this point. He's the man we've got, a man who was actually prepared to take on a 6 month interim assignment regardless of how good or otherwise he is. Then we have to have a plan. We should already have a plan.
 
I don't blame Ralf at all for our inadequacy. The blame falls at the feet of our squad. It's like trying to write an interesting story, but it's passed through about a dozen different authors, each with their own vision of what they think the story should be. And instead of writing with a pen, you're writing with shit. And instead of writing with paper, you're writing with shit. And the end result is shit. But it's alright, because we all think the next author will clean it all up, but the shit is still there for us all to see, smell, and taste.
 
I’m not sure it is safe to assume that. We’d likely be in a similar position.

He had lost the dressing room. He would still play Rashford. Elanga would be in our under 23s. VDB still rotting in our bench. Shaw and Bissaka irreplaceable. Sancho would be completely underwhelming.

There is no way to assume that we would even be close to top 10.
 
I am not sure what you expect him to do, our players are simply not good neough.

Christ, these are the same players that finished 2nd in the League last season beaten by 12 points to City.
De Gea probably cost us those 12 points on his own last season.
If he'd have been in this seasons form we'd have taken City to the wire.
 
I don't think the manager is to blame but I can't quite figure out why he played Pogba so far forward. It took him out of the game at times when he could have got on the ball and added some much needed quality in deeper areas.

Have seen every team including non Premier league teams make City work a lot harder to score their goals.

City lads in the dressing room will be left surprised how easy they got it in that Derby. This group of United players need to have a long hard look at themselves at stay off social media.
 
Hope Ralf goes to the board tomorrow and tells them exactly who needs to go. If they don't listen we will be in the wilderness for years more.

Sure but who are you giving the job to. Carrick again?

You just know they will not be able to resist it. They are that thick.
 
I'm really tired of seeing people constantly talking about building something for the future. His job was quite an obvious. He had exactly 24 games in the PL to put us in the TOP 4, and we weren't far away, and definitely having the best 4th or some could argue for 3rd squad in the league, but 4th for sure, and it's by country mile. He had one job, and that was to get us in top 4, and so far he is failing miserable.


The type of football we play is important, but the performance in the long run(15+ matches) is the most important thing. So obviously we ain't playing good football with the result we are getting. He is also totally not playing Ronaldo to his strengths.


If he get us in the top 4, his coming will be a successful move by the board, but if he miss top 4, this will be the next big fail by the board.
 
I think he could've got a better tune out of these players, why is that such a odd view ?

until this game the fiddle has been creating lots of chances today we met a better side. Why others cannot see it I don’t know.
