Good to go

If the guy has courage he will take control now in time for the weekend game against Chelsea ..

If he has any sense he will sit this one out

Van Nistelrooy is not a great head coach

he flopped big time at PSV, while he was amazing at the youth teams here




idk Amorim, but portuguese coaches have done quite well at the club, Mourinho but also the assistent to Sir Alex, Queiroz


hope he is completely different to ETH, coaching style wise

Amorin is a good shout. I think he turned Liverpool down not the other way round. Every one was after him a year ago and, if he implements his style, would do well at United.

On the other hand, its united and up to 50% of that squad need to be looked at and difficult decisions need to be made about them. I'm talking Rashford, Bruno to start with and we'll take it from there

This is true, and it is probably the biggest problem at the club.

I remember when Arteta got rid of Ozil and then Aubameyang. Ozil I wasn't too fussed about but Aubameyang. I was spitting fire when he got rid of the then-top scorer.. It had to be done and he's been proved right.

With all the Man Utd fans around and pundits who are ex-United. Will they allow a no-name manager to do that kind of surgery on the squad? We wait and see but, at this time, I'm saying no.

He didn't turn Liverpool down; he tried to use West Ham as leverage to speed LFC up, so we walked away. I think he's a good manager, and I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason we walked away is because we didn't want to spend any money to reshape the squad to his 3-4-3, rather than our traditional 4-3-3/-4-3-2-1.

Yeah you're right. I forgot West Ham were interested too

He even travelled to London for talks then had to apologise over it, left himself looking a bit silly basically

He might well succeed but I can also see it being another disaster appointment

Anyone who is not given Carte Blanche over the squad will be the same old story. Fans will say 'We're back' then they'll lose in Europe.

I want to post that Mourinho rant on football heritage again. The one where he says "Where they play, how they play, IF they play". I posted it too many times though. The next Man Utd need to able to get rid of big players, but who is a big enough name to do it

Hopefully a Manager with a bit of charisma will be picked.

I'm sick of seeing Managers scowling in press conferences.

Their two greatest ever managers and probably the two greatest managers in the English football league history, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson. Both Scottish. So why not go for a Scotsman?

Steve Clarke or Big Duncan Ferguson.

Bob Paisley is not Scottish. Shanks was though - the 2 greatest managers in league football history.

You have a shout. Both greats. But Busby was more successful than Shankly and Ferguson was more successful than Paisley. Ferguson was more successful than anyone. He won 13 league champions I think.

A team like Manchester United don't need tactics. They can buy the best players. The best players don't need education on football tactics. They know how to play, that's why they're the best players.

They just need a good man-manager. Someone who can get the best out of them. Make them feel loved, happy and wanted.

Managing a top team like this is easy if you're a good man-manager rather than being tactical.
