It would be nice to have a good run in the Champion's League for a change. One thing Rangnick would have gained from yesterday is the knowledge of who is useless and who is useful amongst the older players. I don't expect to see much of Mata on the pitch or Matic in defence any time soon.

A little bit harsh. A lot of these guys havent had much game time or had a chance to build form and all of a sudden are expected to perform in a single match. I know they werent great but I dont think we should be so harsh on these players.

Like Neville said, No matter what happens, Let Ralf coach the team for 6 months and then coach the club for 2 years if a top manager is available to join.

So na Dalot to defend Zaha? God help us.

Leyqute:
They’ve stopped smiling and laughing o

Rude awakening. Finally getting coached for the first time in years so they have to listen to instructions. Its either going to go well or be an absolute disaster. Fingers crossed its the former.

DDG was very irresponsible on that arsenal goal. I don't care, unless they're a serious injury you cannot completely ignore your goal there on such a minor injury.

Maguire is just an awful defender.

Fred - good and bad
Rashford - awful.
McTom - doing everything well except play good football.

This is why I'm so disappointed RR didn't sack the whole coaching staff. They'll bring in their biases to influence the team since they'll still be coaching. Smh

Ralf Rangnick currently at Old Trafford looking at facilities of the stadium.

- Mike McGrath

Ralf does not have a work permit yet so he's pretty much doing a stadium tour like any fan would.

Some truth in there..

Lamptey to send Bissaka to bench

Lamptey is very talented but isnt he quite injury prone?

andrewbaba44:
See As Carrick get guts wey ole no get

Ronaldo Suppose Dey rest for some games make we no lie ,he can’t be playing all games

Some Man U fans will rant here as usual

Ole did get tons of abuse from resting CR against Villa. So lets keep the same energy. Carrick I don't believe is doing anything different to Ole.

elampiro:
We for just kukuma get Brenda Rogers

Do you think Rodgers would accept an interim role?

elampiro:
Any coach who has so changed clubs frequently means he was being sacked. This is the case with our new coach. SAF, Wenger, have all been in a few clubs. Moyes sef would still be Everton coach if he did not get the United job.

But this our new coach has been changing clubs like big Sam

You seem to forget that he is only here till the end of the season as our coach. He's an interim manager till the end of the season then a permanent coach will be appointed. We can take our time to appoint a permanent manager in that period. Ralf will then stay on as a Consultant for 2 years helping the club with footballing decisions and direction for the future, NOT as MANAGER. I dont think his career requires this intense examination for that. Apart from the fact that he has lots of experience doing this job.

Searchingvictor:
We still need to contest for the league, can his style get us that or we should just write the league off.
And I don't think he'll buy any player come January

Contest what league? Please, The league is long gone. Our best bet now is top 4. I dont see any january signings but next summer should have a clear out. if we're lucky Maguire will be thrown in the bush.

Searchingvictor:
Shey this current squad fit play gengen footy sha

Anyone of the squad that cannot fit into what Ralf wants can get out.

This could be the start of a proper football structure being in place at Old Trafford.

Rangnick it is. fingers crossed it works out.

Hope he brought some coaches with him.

nitrogen:
Carrick was a player under Jose, and McKenna was a manager for less than 6 months under Jose.

Carrick was definitely coaching under Jose at United when he retired.

N2B2:
Same old United.

- Terrible passing
- Easily closed down
- Can't maintain possession for up to 15 seconds a spell
- Clueless at the back
- Leaky midfield
- Fred no where to be seen

It wasn’t going to change overnight with the same coaching staff.

frankmoney:
Why has the game not started

Ref messed up and not checked their communications kit.

nitrogen:
Bailly and Varane are not available na.

Why is Bailly on the bench?

nitrogen:
VDB ahead of Bruno? Some balls!

I would have said he really had some balls if he dropped Maguire.

Now the talk is Ernesto Valverde.

Manchester United.

Expert17:
Can your MCM (OLE) survive without new signings?

I dont give a shit about Ole the manager. Never did. he should have been sacked last season.

Expert17:
He took Spurs to UCL final without a single signing...OLE will relegate Man City/Liverpool if he fails to sign a player.

It was 1 summer of no signings. People act like Poch didnt spend throughout his Spurs tenure.

Illimitable:
Carrick should remain as caretaker until any of the United targets is available. At least with Carrick, the expectations are minimal.

Poch is the worst of the lot. It is going to be another Ole cycle again. After 3 years, Poch would leave the club in 15th position without winning anything.

Why should United sack Ole for this?

Carrick is an idiot and should go and do his work placement somewhere else. He needs to be chased out of Carrington.

TrebleChamp:
United sacked a Manager for being utterly clueless, yet his temporary replacement tell the world he shares same clueless philosophy as the one sacked. He shouldn't have mate that statement imo...

He's an idiot.

Joel Glazer has cranked up the pressure as at yesterday night to get Zidane by all means necessary. His wife can stay in France.

Zidane can take the Eurostar to see her every now and then. It’s 2 hours trip by Train(less time than some people spend commuting to work).

Pochettino’s record in the PL is nothing to write home about. If Pochettino is the answer then there was no reason to sack Ole.

Why should we go from Ole to this?

I dont care for Poch at all. My question is what are the other options?

Illimitable:
Zidane is available, Woodward is yet to present an offer he cannot refuse.

The next World Cup ends around Christmas 2022. So the earliest Zidane can take the French National Team job is January 2023.

If we cannot convince Zidane to manage United between now and 2023 then it’s our fault, not his fault. United should go back with an improved package and a promise that he would have total control of transfers and adequate funds would be provided.

Well Woodward is useless. So if you're depending on that then we're finished.

There has also been lots of talk that Zidane has no interest in coming to England and his wife has even come out to say the same. so I'm not sure how much we can offer that will change his mind. Zizou seems to only want the national team job.

Illimitable:
So you would take Poch who has won nothing meaningful in his career over Zizou that won La Liga(twice) and UCL(3 times in a row).

The only thing you can guarantee with Poch is finishing in the top 4. United won’t stay satisfied with finishing top 4 with the squad at their disposal. Anything short of winning the league/CL will be considered failure and I don’t think Poch can challenge Pep/Klopp/Tuchel.

Was it not the same Poch that allowed Leicester to win the league in 2015/16 even though he had a better squad than Leicester? Poch is shit. He’s like Moyes. Just because he can thrive in a team that has top 4 as it’s target does not mean he’s ready to take a massive club like United to a league title.


Zidane knows what it takes to win the big trophies, Poch does not have a clue. His team will play good football and then lose the vital games when it matters. I already experienced that under Ole(bottling 6 semifinals against minnows). If Zidane is available, he should be the #1 choice. A proper winner should be managing United, not apprentices like Ole or Poch.

Zidane is not available. Who's your 2nd choice?

The fact that the board want Poch, means Poch is the wrong appointment.

We better not fall for Poch. He's a pure scam.

Expert17:
Take away his last minute goal against Bayern Munich, he is just Chicharito 2.0.

Just admit you didnt watch United then.
