The Manchester United Thread

[Scouseinthehouse]

Because they realize that its a whole different ball game managing a super club like City in the most competitive league in the world to managing Ajax.

Getting good-ish manages just does not work for clubs at the highest level. Chelsea and Juventus tried it with Sarri. Barcelona have tried it with numerous names. United tried it with Moyes and Ole. Liverpool tried it with Rodgers.

The current headline rumour grabber Pochetino would be a far more realistic shout for City.

He was the coach of Bayern’s B team. Hardly, one of Pep’s main guys.

Who was called up to help train with the first team under Pep who speaks highly of him. Who endorsed him to the Barca board to replace Komen. I’m not saying he would be a success but you can’t say he will flop either.

You know it's happening .....

Just seen this. Sad really. Did a job and should of left end of last season when it was complete. You can clearly see the relief. But also can see the pain in his eyes.

More PR bs.

Seems perfect fit for me. I watch Ajax loads and there so similar in the way that Pep has City setup.

We will see how he handles the step up that will eventually come. Cant be that bad as your making out if Pep had him as one of his main guys at Bayern the time he was there.

Will see I guess.

Ajax use a lot more verticality in their movements compared to city. City typically try to get the ball into wide positions and drill low crosses/cut backs into the box or get the ball to one of them lads in half spaces to spam crosses into the back post (so KdB basically).

I can predict what city do when they attack whereas Ajax are a bit more fluid.

Big Ed for the WIN!

Ed Woodward: Manchester United executive vice-chairman could delay departure to help appoint new manager

It was announced in April that Ed Woodward would leave Manchester United at end of year following collapse of proposed European Super League; Woodward now set to oversee appointment of interim and permanent manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked on Sunday

Don't let anyone tell you FM isn't realistic

Mauricio Pochettino does not want a third shot to manage #mufc to be compromised by waiting until the summer and is ready to leave before then. PSG knows his wishes @MelissaReddy_

Least we can rule out Southgate

Carrick first big test tomorrow

 

[woolly]

Least we can rule out Southgate

Got to be thankful for small mercies with that one.

How bad must it be at PSG for Poch to be so desperate to leave??

Tuchel didn’t have much nice to say about it either lol. To many ego from board room to the changing room. And there fans are pretty unforgiving to.

That's presuming he actually is.

Always skeptical personally when there's no direct quotes attributed to speculation.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Why would Poch come out directly and say PSG can do one Utd is the team I want. It just doesn’t happen lol. It’s always behind close doors with agents involved etc. It would be career suicide to come out and directly say I hate here I’m going to go somewhere else.

Theoretically, the toxic dressing room? Tuchel once stated when managing PSG, you're basically managing the players and their families. So think Icardi-Wanda

Given that he has openly made it known he has a strong love for Paris, and that PSG were the perfect job for both he and Jesus to end theirsabbatical despite numerous other big offers, I think it's fair to assume that it's nothing but pure conjecture from one ITK buffoon bouncing off another until something direct comes from him.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Difference was he wasn’t employed by anyone at the time. He’s free to say as he likes.

He’s in Manchester tomorrow so he’s gonna get asked. I don’t expect him to say yeah **** you owner and **** you Leonardo I’m off to Manchester

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Ornstien saying Ten Hag can be got cheap in the summer when his release clause kicks in. But no talks with Utd as of yet. Who are also interested in Pochettino
