Obviously you haven’t see Paul Ince’s choice 😳😂

Nope, please enlighten me

Nope, please enlighten me

"You've got two managers who know the club inside out and were there at the start of Sir Alex's reign"



Paul Ince says #MUFC should look no further than Steve Bruce or Mark Hughes - and that both have the credentials to keep the job long term.

I like the idea of giving job yo Howe int hat he’s young and English. But he struggled to handle the step up to Burnley..... He does play attractive football, but not sure he is a great defensive coach.

Excuse my ignorance, but do pro teams not have defensive coaches who do that roll?
I think Eddie Howe is an excellent shout come to think of it. Be surprised if he gets it though, Man Utd have to go big with managers from now on I think.

Oh OK. Wonder how many other games we would have won with VvD, Mane, Lallana

Can’t wait for big bucks then complain we stole your players.
You are where you are because you DO sell your players and until you stop doing that it won’t change.
That’s how the transfer market works.
What have you done with all that money?

That's a load of rubbish and you know it. Players hold all the power these days, if they want to move to a bigger club then they will, either for a transfer fee or run down their contract and go for nothing. I'm pretty sure Southampton would rather retain top players than get transfer fees.

The main difference for me is that United fans gave it out having won stuff, Chelsea fans the same. Clubs of less successful sides don't tend to be so chirpy, and even with rivalries tend to show a bit more respect.

Some Liverpool fans seem a bit desperate to be giving it out, but all a bit premature for me. They've got a fantastic side, so revel in that rather than get dragged into the gutter with name calling and crappy memes. I can understand it though, having been the laughing stock of the rivalry for many a year, but I'd personally wait to win something first. I think most of the match going and local Liverpool fans tend to be a bit more on the same page on this than the Internet/armchair mob who need instant gratification and likes.

Ultimately United won far more under Mourinho than Liverpool under Klopp to date. Ones a overriding success and one's an unmitigated failure which says a lot about the mentality of the respective fanbases.

Tremendous post. Well worth a bump.

Good post yes but footballs changed.
Trophies now for the big clubs are the league and the C/L that’s it.
Yes the FA cup is a great day out but that’s it.
Generally the big clubs will put out players who won’t play in all the big games.
Jose played awful football and his tactics were questionable,when did any Utd team put 11 men behind the ball and play for a draw.
Putting midfielders at centre back when you have a 100 million pounds worth of defenders to choose from.
As I see it we have lots going forward and I’m sure a new manager will get more out of them.
As for the defenders we could lose Rojo,Jones,Smalling and Lindelof very easily.Even Young and Valencia are getting on now and won’t last much longer.

The Glazier love Woodward - wasn’t he the banker that helped them buy the club ?

Howe is a brave shout but I can’t see Utd taking a step like that - i think for him he needs to take the next step up first to a Everton or maybe West Ham or even Spurs - a team with a bit more expectations- to go from Bournemouth to Man Utd is massive leap and don’t see the owners being that bold.

They will look throughout Europe and try and blow a manager away with the offer of funds etc - maybe someone like Loew or even Deshcamps but I think it’s going to be a name manager

Unfortunately, I think you're right on both counts.
Do you think Howe could be a good fit?

If your players are not happy they will move .
Same for Liverpool!
But sitting on the bench with the wages we pay is not that hard to stomach.
Sitting on your bench I assume is not so well paid.

But Mourinho won the Europa League to bring back CL football this season which is exactly what the board and fans wanted and whether you agree or not, this and the league cup will count as trophies won. Yes there is a definite preference but other managers have used a "mere" league cup win to go onto keep jobs/move jobs and then progress

I won't argue that the way United have played is turgid and he clearly lost the players and some of those he bought aren't up to it and some simply weren't interested in putting a shift in for him. Interesting to see who they appoint and if it's a caretaker for the season whether the players buy into their plans in lieu of a marquee appointment

No it dosnt anyone who’s not happy I would just sell.
But make sure you get top dollar that’s what everyone else will do.

Steve Barnes, sorry Bruce, has done a brilliant job at Leddersford Town, and solved crimes while doing it, he'd be perfect for the job.

He could be - but would need at least 3 season to build and I don’t think teams give that these days unless , when the club don’t even give Moyes one season then I don’t expect they would give a young fresh manager a could of years to build everything back up. Both Spurs and Liverpool have done with their various managers and both clubs look better for it - will Man Utd have the patience to do it , Fans I can see will but don’t think the club would

He might not want it the way you treat your managers lately.
