    Ten Hag or Nagelsman would do the job, luckily they won't get either.

    Surely Poch is the complete opposite to Jose? Seems an odd comparison to make.

    One hates young players, parks the bus, and has won loads.

    The other loves bringing youth through, plays an attacking style of football, and has won **** all.

    Always thought his football at Spurs was negative and one dimensional.

    So old Jose not the younger version.

    I think Poch would do okay at United given time. Better choices out there though for sure.

    Well ten Haag is a genuine option. Why wouldn't he be? Ajax or Manchester United? Errrrrr?

    Nagleseman no doubt going to enjoy easy street at Bayern for while, and I don't blame him for that. Not an option.

    Well beaten but at least showed some character and fight ... and much better defensively ... bring on the cat kickers!

    Definitely one dimensional yeah but I wouldn't describe his style of play as negative at all. Think that's a bit bonkers tbh as it's very much high energy and attacking style.

    With you it was, that changed to a very systematic approach at Spurs.

    Read something that he didn't want the job but who knows, he's deffo a good option and a step in the right direction if you get him.

    Nah they were just better defensively than us. I think you're being swayed by how they were for the last year or so. They played some brilliant football for the first 2/3 seasons.

    I think it was just the #spursy curse that made him fall short in the end. But during that time, they looked like genuine title contenders and CL contenders until the voodoo struck.

    Imo, he's just what Utd need. Somebody who knows this league, but will bring some attacking football to OT. They've have negative ****e up there ever since Fergie left. Managers who are too scared to play open expansive football because of the fear of losing.

    Ridiculous level of outrage though, front page of the Sun, people on here comparing him to psychopaths and ****philes. People's sense of proportion is laughable.

    That's defo some spin Flos.

    You've conceded 6 in your last two games

    anything other than conceding 4 against a Championship side was going to be a better defensive display today

    What might actually help us here is that Overmars has had to leave Ajax.

    Which leaves Edwin van Der Sar, who is pro United on many levels.

    Now, I've invented this scenario tbf, but it could be a deal breaker having the right bloke in the right place!

    Edwin more than welcome to also come as DoF.

    Don't think your club helped by putting him in the public eye, it fed the fire. He's a twat for doing that I don't want to think about it beyond that.
