Having wasting a big chance to get Conte before the international break yesterday, I think right now there are very few options for manchester to get a coach that really suits them, even if there are several coaches who are currently linked with manchester, but it looks it will be a bit difficult because it is most of them are in coaching of other clubs and of course have high release clauses, except for zidane and steve bruce who are currently unemployed.

Conte would not really suit them. I believe they did consider him but decided to go with somebody else, Solskjaer was in trouble even when Conte was still available.

Conte isn't really a 'nice to work with' kind of guy and United's board expects to keep some influence on incoming transfers - that would not work with him there. It is questionable if he'd even play Ronaldo - at least with his current lack of any defensive contribution.

True... But who are they going to hire to replace Solskjaer? I’m pretty sure all the elite options, Pochettino and Zidane, would def want control on all footballing issues around the club. It’s the reason why Poch is unhappy in Paris cos he’s just a first team coach, with all other football issues like recruitment, player transfers and the overall direction of the club given to somebody else...

Anyway here’s the betting market for Man United next permanent manager.

Poch is the favorite with Carrick at second.

Leicester City Boss, Brendan Rodgers and Ralf Rangnick are among the other contenders, with the search underway for Solskjaer's permanent replacement. I think Mauricio Pochettino was linked with the United job when Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December 2018, and still has admirers among the hierarchy at Old Trafford. Also there are rumours that he might quit the PSG job midway season or maybe after the end of the season. The Argentine's high energy, attacking style of play would be ideal for United. Manchester United lacked cohesion and direction under Solskjaer. He can manage that like how he did to Kane and Son at Tottenham Hotspur.

The problem with this is that Solskjaer had really good results towards the end of the season. They finished 2nd and lost a Europa League final on penalties, it would have been harsh to fire him after it looked like he finally found a way for his team to play good football.

these are good results for Tottenham, not for Man. United. 2nd on PL (with a lag of over 15pts) and lost the final where you were the favourite with a much better team. that lost final is entirely his^Ole fault. there shouldn’t have been a penalty series (just think Mourinho was in his place).
He lost a few final games whenever he encountered a tactically good manager.

According to Marca's claim, Manchester United are highly interested in bringing Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager. And in this situation, PSG might think of reaching an agreement with Zinedine Zidane for the manager position at the team. There are still a few options ahead of Manchester United to sign. Pochettino, Zidane, Brendan Rodgers, Luis Enrique... But they should make their decision as fast as possible. Their temporary manager is Carrick for now. The quicker they make their decision about the new manager, the better for their recovery phase.

Man United management made some big mistakes there. First, they should replace Ole much before the new season starts. it was seen he is to be insufficient for that position. then maybe they could choose a manager who would have some time to get to know the team
After the Liverpool disaster, came a very bad Tottenham and he was not a measure of the quality of the performance. there they lost the chance to make deal with Konte. (I'm sure he would shake up the team)
again and that was not enough, they missed the international break to find a proper replacement for Ole. now they have a situation where they have no manager and very difficult games await them.

As I already said - United's problem stretches far beyond the manager. With an interim solution they might find themselves in even more problems - I feel like their top4 spot is now under doubt as well.

Yup, it is kind of a bizarre decision. It's not the last few games of the season, there's still a huge amount of games to be played. A new manager needs time to get familiar with things and he could use that time that they will give to an interim solution. Interim solution won't be a good one because good managers won't take these kind of jobs so United is currently in a worse situation than they were with Solskjaer.

I assume good managers (Pocchetino, Ten Hag) don't want to leave their respective clubs now - maybe that's why United is taking an interim manager. Still - too big of a club to make such silly moves.

First of all the idea of having an Interim manager till the end of the season is nonsense. Just get a permanent manager One to call the shot now. It's still early in the season... There are still honours to fight for, still things to achieve. A caretaker and interim is a waste of time. They lwil have to splash the cash and get someone in for the long term. That way they’ll have half a season to work with what is there and start building in the summer. That helped Klopp and Thomas Tuchel and it will help a new manager at Man United. Let’s hope the interim genius is given time to put his stamp on our squad. He may look gormless.

I think that Luis Enrique will be really good for Manchester United. Regardless Zidane taking the responsibility or not. I don't think that Zidane will be able to take this opportunity whatever the situation is, so I think ok United's best that will be Enrique.

There has been no right decision I think in the next few days we will see new news about a strong candidate to be elected, whoever it is will be the best choice.

The UCL game will be handled by Michel Carrick and he is ready no matter how long he is assigned, if Man United win against Villarreal then I think Michel Carrick has done a good job even as interim manager.

The next two Manchester matches will certainly be a pretty tough test for Michael Carrick, although maybe the results of the match will not really affect Carrick's position in the Manchester squad, but as a Caretaker of course Carrick has his own burden in my opinion in a very decisive match for Manchester, but if Carrick succeeds led manchester to win in those two big games, is it possible he can become manchester permanent coach at least until the end of the season?

Then during off-season they could sign Zidane. As far as we know Zidane only said he wants to rest this year, if that is true then he may sign during summer, if that is just a way to decline United then he won't sign during summer neither.

As of now the main target seems to be Pochettino after Zidane rejected the offer 'again'. If Poch leave PSG, then Zidane might go to PSG instead. I personally dont think that Zidane want to rest but he is a pretty realistic man so he knows for sure that he cant do much with Manchester United's squad so he probably wont accept the offer unless Manchester United promised him that he could sign whatever he wants

Pretty sure that he probably have no intention to stain his managerial record so he'll go to PSG instead of Manchester United most likely

As Pochettino looks to move to Man United, Zidane will take over at PSG. Mauricio Pochettino could be replaced by Zinedine Zidane according to active rumors as Paris Saint-Germain has already approached Zidane. Zidane, as far as I am concerned, is an intelligence coach, and we always value his reputation. Not sure if this is the best approach. It seems like everything is moving forward rapidly.

Agree here currently they are looking for very few candidates which are going to be replaced Ole here in Manchester United first choice is obviously Pochettino in case there is some issue they have second choice currently Rangnick is technical director at Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow their third option is also currently on job Blanc is manager of Al Rayyan in Qatar and last one is Brendon Rogers who just ousted from Leicester City job. But, currently they are not doing this all in hurry because management understand now just very days and three big matches coming, so they will do their all homework before having new manager is going to be good for them.

Pochettino is surely open for this offer as he announces but let's watch what happen in this all case because after Sir Alex, it's going to be very mystery job for many managers.

Not just Zidane,a coach who knows the Manchester United system and can turn poor players to good players,just as Thomas Tuchel did Chelsea.
Zidane is a good choice but seems a delay might come up and result to not finalising a deal.
Laurent Blanc the former pars saint German Coach is also available.
Why not make move for such experienced one ?

Currently manchester has been linked with several experienced coaches, such as zidane, pochetino, luis enrique and even eric ten hag so far, but from several names that have been rumored to coach manchester, I think zidane is the strongest candidate to replace solkajer, although not yet a solid approach carried out by Manchester but reportedly Ronaldo has personally contacted Zidane and asked his former coach to want to be part of the Manchester squad this season.

Leicester City Boss, Brendan Rodgers and Ralf Rangnick are among the other contenders, with the search underway for Solskjaer's permanent replacement. I think Mauricio Pochettino was linked with the United job when Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December 2018, and still has admirers among the hierarchy at Old Trafford.

In fact, there are only two things that can take away the brilliance of a player, no matter how good he is... a serious injury and age over 40, there's no getting around that. Ibrahimovic is still playing very well, but we all know that at such an age it is only a matter of time before the body starts to feel and forces the player to retire.

Indeed. That's why I said it is time for him to think a new career as a coach or fully retire from football.
We all know Ibra is already 40 years old, it is an ideal age for someone to retire. Even some players already retired before 40 years old. So, we cannot expect much to see Ibra, continue to play as a professional player at that age. I guess he will retire very soon. Wink

But come to think of it, why are club legends performing poorly ?
Higher expectations they will do better than others,but results gets worst game after game.
Frank Lampard did poorly at Chelsea
Gatuso Did at Napoli
Ronald Koeman at Barcelona
Ole Gunner Solskjaer at Manchester United.
It's just embarrassing how they can't keep up with the expectation of the club.

It depends. In the case of Steven Gerrard, even though he hasn't coached Liverpool yet, he did very well back at Rangers. I think the problem with most of these club legends like Ole and Lampard was that they were brought back to the club management role too quickly. They probably needed more time in other clubs to gain experience but didn't get those experience. Clubs should have a rethink before rushing to hand someone the job just because they were once a legend to the club.

Yes, the professions of a football player and a head coach have obvious differences and other requirements, and not everyone can achieve the same success in a coaching career as in a player's career. Especially when a famous player in the past is not given some time to master the skills of the coaching profession and immediately put in charge of a large team, where there are increased expectations from the club management and fans about the result shown by the team. Therefore, it is still better to move gradually through the management of smaller and simpler teams in order to achieve the best result, and only then take a swing at working in top clubs.

I guess United will have Carrick run the team for a while as they remain hunting for a manager who has a profile worth running a club like Manchester United and can withstand the current pressure that comes with it.

And this is an interesting theory of how United could find their man, so you say Zidane is off the watchlist as Pochettino could be the target man....well he does fit the profile, managed a premier league team and simply no stranger to it unlike Zidane who will have to start from scratch...this makes a valid point!

Zidane definitely will be the key there, I know that they will let the team run for now as it is and maybe even keep the team running until end of the season if that is when Zidane agrees to sign. After all there is a situation where they want a manager and that means we are going to see the team not doing much this season.

Nobody really expects them to do anything properly this year anyway, Ole made sure of that so the team will suck for the remainder of the season. Not going to be like some bottom half team or something, I am sure they will rally back up and go to europa at least or maybe they could go to champions league which will be tough assignment, and that is more than enough for them. Then during off-season they could sign Zidane. As far as we know Zidane only said he wants to rest this year, if that is true then he may sign during summer, if that is just a way to decline United then he won't sign during summer neither.

Manchester United have some candidates in front of them for the manager position at the team. Zinedine Zidane, Spain manager Luis Enrique and Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers are the biggest candidates seemingly now. But it is also said that Luis Enrique has denied his being linked with Manchester United already. In this case, there are two big candidates left. And if I were in their position, I would increase my attempts for Zinedine Zidane. Because I really liked his style of managing Real Madrid. And having Ronaldo here too, Zidane also would think of coming here seriously. And I think that they can do a great job with him.

There will be limited players in Winter transfer window but Beşiktaş desperately need another striker, Batshuayi couldn't play all of matches and when he plays he didn't score regularly. Having only one striker is a problem, when there is no competition for jersey then players form decrease. We see same thing in right back position, Rosier have no alternative so he is far away from his last seasons performance. I heard Xavi don't want Luuk de Jong and Beşiktaş is interested in signing him. He was one of the choices in Summer transfer window as well but he picked Barcelona. Now it might be a good addition to the squad, though price should be very low like we did in Pjanic transfer.
