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

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.

Don't lie, did you think Tuchel was good enough to challenge these guys?
Well I think Tuchel have always shown the tendency to perform to a higher level if given the opportunity, even his psg were more entertaining than this current one.

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?

You come across as one who is a sadist.

We are searching for a new manager, it is only normal to have folks here join the discussion, stating which is their preferred choice for the manager position...

If we all sit and watch, who will visit a dead thread or you think by not posting here you're more productive than those who are active here?

Zidane is living in Madrid. His wife is in Madrid too. They prefer the weather there which is part of why he was rejecting United. He also does not speak English beyond exchanging pleasantries. That is why it is easy to reject United.

I am leaning towards Erik ten Hag now as Zidane is dragging foot and Conte is now with Spurs...

I watch Ajax in the UCL and I see a team that is well coached, their positional awareness is top notch, they press as a unit...One thing I know is that a team's that presses as a unit attacks and defends as one stands a good chance of ending the season with a trophy...

Another plus for Erik ten Hag is the fact that he has lost a lot of good players and still managed to build a formidable team, that's the mark of a top coach...

On the flip side, I am not sure if he'll be able to deal with the egos we parade but the pros outdo the cons...
Ajax do not have overbloated egoistic players like Martial, Pogba and maybe Ronaldo in their team. I believe Ten Haag will struggle to manage some of United very unserious, self-centered players. I don't even have a Prefered managerial candidate in mind, anyone better than Ole is welcome until he fvckz up...

That is a lie. They were not entertaining. The vision is always clearer in hindsight. Chelsea did not even believe in him. They gave him a short contract and only renewed it after he won the champions league.

Every other manager would have a bad away record against the top 6. Poch did beat all of them at home as well.

Manchester’s weather is terrible to be honest. It’s always raining or drizzling there. No one would swap the weather in Madrid for Manchester unless the money is totally worth it.

The language barrier is no issue at all. There are many French speaking players in the squad. Bielsa can’t speak a word in English and he’s been in England for how many years now.

Other options are the Ajax dude or Ragnick.

And this is my problem with the Glazers. During the summer, there were about 7 top managers without a job. That was when they should have axed Ole but they waited and waited until all those managers got jobs.

Poch is shit. In a 2-horse race that he was involved in with Leicester in 15/16, he still managed to finish 3rd. Is Poch better than Ole?

Their highest finish = 2nd
Both of them bottled a European final.

So I am asking again, why should United sack Ole and sign Poch? I’d rather they re-hire Ole than sign Poch. I don’t see how Poch would improve the current United side.

Certainly. But I don't think money is a motivator for Zidane. He was offered big money by RM but he still turned it down. While I agree that language should not be a big barrier (he has players that understand French, Spanish and Italian), he will have to do a lot more with the language around the club. Biesla is probably flailing because of the language issue. Besides, I am merely quoting Frank Lebouf who we know is Zidane's friend, so I am taking his opinion seriously. Perhaps Zidane will take the job if offered a short contract because he has made it clear that he wants to coach the French National team after 2022 world cup. So what year in between this will he give to United?

Poch like every coach has his failures. I feel some of his successes however minor are being underplayed. He does have good recruitment strategy, develops young players, plays attacking football and can manage a dressing room. He may not be on the level of the top 3 teams but he has bested both Klopp and Pep that one season in 2016-17. With United's financial muscle, who is to say he may not do better? We all call Tuchel now in the same breath as Pep and Klopp but it would have been blasphemy by this same time last season.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Joezinho: 4:45pm On Nov 23, 2021
I rate Poch higher than Haag. Only thing he lacks is trophies but that's not a issue because he managed teams like spurs and Southampton where you don't really expect to win trophies.

With him Spuds were among top 4 and reached finals of UCL with bang average squad all while getting the better of Pep and Ten Haag (with better squads) on the way. If he will stay at PSG he will probably win the Ligue1.

He inherited PSG that were struggling under Tuchel and were in a bad position in the league that is the reason he lost the league that too on the last day..11 points clear this season so far...

Zidane clearly doesn't wana come to man utd. We can't force the bald one to come to OT. He will ditch us.

I hope they include a deal of fraudgba + 20m for Verrati like Pjanic & Arthur's deal.. Let fraudgba get the fvck outta this club.

Tuchel had won the German cup in 16/17, a couple of league titles with PSG, etc.

Poch was in the PL for almost 7 years and he won nothing throughout.

You guys should watch that. Ole could never.
You’d be impressed by the attack but also pause and look at their defenders when they attack. Our next coach In sha Jesus.


This is exactly what Carragher was saying about Ole. Carragher said he likes listening to managers’ perspective about games. How they analyze or how they set up attacks and discuss the specifics.

He said each time he tries to listen to Ole, he never speaks about these things(creating spaces, overloading one flank, etc). All you hear from Ole is DNA, attack attack attack, United tradition, etc.

Ole will never break a game down into specifics. He cannot tell you why/how a goal was scored. He doesn’t understand any of these things. It’s just vibes and insha allah.

I dont think Zidane is willing to come.

I would ve liked Enrique but world cup is next year and I'm sure he wants to win it.

I dont see Ten Haag leaving mid season to United when he has a chance of winning the Eredivisie and the UCL there unlike at United.

Poch should be last resort if any of these 3 dont work out.

United's best bet could be to get a good interim manager to take care of things till the end of season that way the board would have had ample time to do their research and make the right decision.
I think u guys havent made a formal approach for erik.. But it's crystal clear that he wont be joining, at least till nxt season.. So poch is man.u's best bet..
