For the regulars, what would be your plan for the club next season? Which manager, transfers and tactics?

1) Solskjaer in a permanent role, he's proved himself in my opinion. He is clearly a motivator, which actually is what a manager needs. He's also demonstrated brilliant tactical foresight to mastermind some great wins.

2) Players in - Skriniar, R. Pereira, Neves, Werner

3) Players out - Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Valencia, Pereira, Mata

4 ) 4-3-3 as a general rule with Sanchez, Martial and Rashford up top, Pogba and Herrera with Neves or Matic holding. Lindelof deaerves to keep his place as does Shaw.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

{Ed025's Note - for me fresh it has to be poch im afraid, yes OGS has done very well and is a very likable guy who gets united, on the other hand he has not done much in management at other clubs and had a very easy start at united and those results could be put down to new manager syndrome, even though you beat spurs i think we all know united fluked that one and were very lucky against burnley, im not having a go at OGS mate but looking on the practical side..

01 Feb 2019 20:19:46
I fail to see what Poch has achieved though.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - hes stabilized spurs by turning them into a challenging team fresh, they are a match for anyone in the league imo and he has done that on a very meagre budget and by introducing youth and turning them into a very attractive team, imagine what he could do with united,s resources and current players mate...of course this is just my opinion..

01 Feb 2019 20:27:46
I thought Ole was an odd choice but his impact has been great. We have a challenging month, for me it’s Ole’s to lose right now and if he handles the big games well, and we get results, then it’s a brave man that looks past him.

There is no reason for us to make a quick decision, let’s see where we are in April.

I don’t watch enough football to give you names, we need a commanding CB and more midfield options and they need to be top class, promote the great youngsters and we have a solid squad.

As for tactics and formation, I couldn’t care less as long as we embrace an attacking philosophy.

And I’d keep Mata every day of the week as a squad player.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Feb 2019 20:38:03
1.) OGS for me, if the club plan (which i am having doubts about tbh) to bring in a director of football to handle matters and plan for the long term then i don't think the role of manager will be as significant.

2.) In - Alderweireld/ Koulibaly, Neves, nicholas pepe and (Raul Jiminez/ or promote mason greenwood as backup striker) .

3.) Out - A selection from (darmian, valencia, rojo, smalling, jones, young, mctominay, fred, pereira, sanchez and lukaku)

4.) 4-4-2 diamond or flat midfield but whatever it is we need to play to our strengths and get martial and rashford up top together as a partnership.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Feb 2019 20:45:44
Would you spend £50m to get Poch though?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - its not my money...but yes, hes the best available and that could prove to be a bargain imo..

01 Feb 2019 20:54:31
Right now it’s Ole or Poch, and I think both want the job so let’s see how the season develops.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 20:56:13
It’s an interesting debate and I’d be chuffed with either, don’t get me wrong. Solskjaer just sounds like he has the right mentality and is a winner, Poch understandably sounds negative at times.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 21:13:54
1) Manager, conduct a thorough review of options, the decision should be in line with how the club sees the most effective future structure. Then decide the who. Pochettino, Or Ole are possibilities as are others, I wouldn’t rule out more experienced previous winners like Conte.

2) Players in - Right Back Wan Bissaka, Centre Back. Undecided, I still like Harry Maguire. Right side midfield: Jadon Sancho. Centre Mid, Verratti

3) Players out - Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Valencia, Pereira, Lukaku

4 ) Controlled attack with invention at home, ability to break with pace away from home, control in midfield in tough games.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 21:49:48
Not wanting to nail Poch but spurs are a failure.

Most would acknowledge they have had one of the best teams in the league over recent years yet they have won nothing.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - not had the squad or the chairman to provide one in levy, as first 11,s go they are as good as anyone mate..

01 Feb 2019 22:06:08
So we fluked the win at Spurs when De Gea was man of the match. Tom Heaton gets man of the match for Burnley but we were very lucky? Very contradicting don't you think 😂 lol.

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - thats a fair point damon.. :)

01 Feb 2019 22:34:04
Poch's buys have been poor though. Despite Levy being tighter than scrooge he's still had money fo spend and mostly spent on guff. He buys a type of player that I feel wouldn't be suited to united. Also he's still failed to win anything. There's a mental fragility there. And he always comes across as negative. I get relieving pressure but he just comes across as negative. Other managers say similar things an get pilloried.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 05:02:05
Forgot to say, as well as the fringe players I would also sell Lukaku. I don’t see where he fits and we’d likely get big money. Another great guy, decent player, just doesn’t fit or have the rights skliis for the way we want to play.

As for Poch sounding negative, I think he is starting to create a narrative around the lack of signings. It’s kind of ‘look how brilliantly I have done even though we haven’t signed anybody’. Not sure if he is fluttering her eyelashes at us but since Ole joined Poch has been more blunt in his comments about Spurs ‘top 4 is more important’ and so on. Of course I may be possibly reading too much into his comments.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 10:01:18
Yeah I can see that. I just don't think Poch suits united though. Something just doesn't feel right. The same as the last three didn't feel right. I'd back him if he was appointed the same as I backed the other three but it feels like the wrong appointment to me. I'm more concerned about DoF though. We've been trying to get one in for three years with no progress and now we're all expecting one within the next three months? Seems unlikely to me.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Feb 2019 10:10:22
If OGS keeps this up, I'll prefer him to every other manager out there.

Come on guys, look at how he's got us playing. Yes, I do understand concerns about his experience but Manchester United isn't his first managerial role - he was our reserve manager for about 4 years and he has been managing other teams for 8 years albeit "smaller" teams.

He also coached our first team strikers and worked directly under Fergie.

He is known to be of good character (looking at you Giggs) and an all round Nice fellow.

Managing us seems to be a dream for him and you can see it everyday.

I believe we should not let him go.


In terms of personnel, a right and lefback.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 10:25:39
AJH,
i think you make a good point about poch . Time to move on from spurs. i'm not sure he can take them further . I think he will be the next Manchester United manager.

Agree3 Disagree9

02 Feb 2019 10:43:09
For me its still too early to say.
I personally hope ole gets the job.
If we secure top 4 its hard to argue that we could have done any better under anybody else.
He gets the club ethos. He has most of the fans onside he has the players onside. He has the confidence of most people within the club.
He has handled himself brilliantly in the press and his intelligence shines through.
He has improved the form of our better players. Pogba, mata jessie, and rashford in particular. Martial is also playing much better although he has caught fire yet in terms of goal scoring for ole but i hope that will come.
Id trust ole to select future man united signing because he knows better than most what it takes to succeed.
Some will want the shiney new coach but i'm wuite happy with the ine we have and with the job he is doing.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 10:52:28
Tough one, for me there are 4 names I would consider for manager, Ole, Pochettino, Howe and Nuno Espirito Santo. I think experience in the EPL is important, as well as the ability to develop young players and playing entertaining offensive football.

Of the four Ole is just shading it for me, based on we are seeing what he could do. The others still have a question mark over whether they could do it at our club.

The most important thing though is the DoF role needs sorting, Paul Mitchell from what I can find out about him might be an excellent candidate. But I have to admit my understanding of what is required for the role is limited. So I will admit there might/ probably are better candidates out there.

Tactics wise? I like the look of this 433/ 4312 formation. Fluid front three, with cover in midfield. It reminds me a lot of how we played in 2008, with Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo as the front three and Carrick, Scholes and Hargreaves in midfield. I would be happy to see that continue.

As for who should come in, I'd like to see Koulibaly, Ricardo Pereira, Reben Neves and Tanguy NDembele.

With Jones, Rojo, Valencia, Darmian, Andreas Pereira, Joel Pereira, Lee Grant and Mata leaving.

Giving us a squad of:

DDG, Romero, Henderson.

Ricardo Pereira, Dalot, Lindelof, Smalling, Bailly, Koulibaly, Tuanzebe, Shaw and Young.

Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Neves, Fred, NDombele, McTominay.

Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Sanchez, Chong, Gomes and Greenwood.

Agree6 Disagree1

{Ed004's Note - Currently Ole would be my first choice for the job. However, a lot can change between now and the end of the season. Its between him, Poch and Blanc. A head of football should be a necessity, which i think it is. But looking at the side. Id like to see 4 players come in (think thats roughly how many we target in a summer). Wan Bissaka to compete wjith Dalot with Young and Shaw on the other side - although if funds were there for a 5th signing Id look to replace Young. Koulibaly to partner Lindelof or Bailly with Smalling covering for injuries. I think we need cover/eventual replacement for Matic. No clue what Cdms are out there. Maybe a young player like Ndombele or someome like Casemiro if Madrid are changing their side up. Up top one of Sanchez or Lukaku will leave as neither will be happy as a back up imo. Sancho or Dembele would be perfect signings but maybe too expensive so someone like Pepe at lille but im not 100% convinced on him. Either way should tie down Herrera to a new deal. Let him and a settled Fred compete for spot beside Pogba[

02 Feb 2019 11:36:29
Sorry fresh players in is a big one. Of course that will depend on outgoings too.
Imo we need a Rb to compete with dalot
A left back to compete with shaw. Young can fill that role for another 12 months but its not ideal.
A cb to compete with lindelof tuanzebe bailly smalling

A cm to rotate with matic and depending on freds progress we my need another cm to compete with pogba herrera.

Mata can be covered by youth if he goes but if either sanchez or lukaku leave they will need replacing too.

Wan bissaka or doherty (wolves) for rb koulibaly/ skrinner cb
Neves cm
We could do worse than sign wilson or king from Bournemouth if Lukaku were to leave.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Feb 2019 12:04:36
For me its Pochettino for manager

Ins, would love Varane, but realistically Koulibaly, Wan bissaka, Declan Rice and David Brooks. Young players with massive potential.


Outs, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Pereira, maybe Lukaku.

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Feb 2019 12:19:28
Bissaka or Bellerin, Koulibaly or Skrinar, Dembele and Verrati or Neves for the middle.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 12:30:39
Id have said bellerin only for his cruciate just gone. Wouldn't argue with the rest Singh.

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Feb 2019 12:52:30
Yes very true Ken but i think Bellerin will be fine and is still very young.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 13:26:40
Pereira at Leicester for the RB position. Think he's going to be a beast of a player. Can play further forward too if needed. If Chelsea continue to implode and play Kanté out of position, I'd push all out for him.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 14:38:34
Pereira is a very good player . Kante does not look comfortable in the role sarri is asking him to play i think psg or madrid would provide stiff opposition for his services i guess.
Replacing matic won't be easy.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 15:17:31
Ole is doing fantastic but we are in a position where we can see how he finishes aswell as how he's started, hopefully more of the same and he's then stated his case for the job.
Player wise for a long time I've wanted a right side attacker, however with lingaard and Sanchez there to me there are now bigger priorities . The CB and RB spots need upgrading but if we were to sign 4 players then 2 central midfielders would come into my thinking as if pogba were to be injured any 3 from mctom, matic, Herrera, perrera and Fred for any length of time strikes me as steady but not good enough to bridge any gap to city . I know Mata or Jesse could maybe drop in there but not for me personally .
Most of the names mentioned above would see fairly dramatic improvement to me .

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 17:19:59
So here's a question I have always wondered about that seems apt at the moment.

Do you need to win things with a "smaller" club to be a good/ great manager and be worthy of having a shot at a big club?

Now Pochettino is currently the favourite for the United job, now he hasn't won anything. So the barometer that people say makes him "ready" is how he has managed to lift Spurs to a new level and get them consistently challenging for the title and being in the top four. It's hard to argue that what he has achieved is impressive.

Yet is it really anymore impressive than what Eddie Howe has achieved with Bournemouth. Regular midtable finishes with a tiny club which he has dragged up from league 2 after saving them from relegation. And he has done so by playing good, offensive, entertaining football.

So why is Pochettino more "qualified" than Howe?

We are quick to point out the difficulties of managing a top side, the pressure, the ego's etc. Yet, are we too dismissive of the benefits of managing a top club? Better players, bigger budget, better facilities etc.

Look at Zidane and Pep. One is clearly a top top manager, yet there are question marks over the head of the other even after he won 3 ECL titles on the bounce. Both were given a shot having had little experience. Zidane for my money is an average manager who had an extraordinary squad of players spearheaded by one of the greatest of all time players at his peak. Does this not highlight that good managers with the right set up and group of players can win the biggest titles. It's not necessarily about having a world class manager. But about having the right manager at the right time. No one bar Zidane would have been able to win 3 UCL titles on the bounce with Real Madrid, yet he probably isn't even in the top 20 best managers to have ever managed them. Yet he was the perfect manager at that time.

I think we need to build a better structure at our club, Bayern Munich often pick up younger managers plying their trade in the Bundesliga but have yet to win anything. More often than not these guys go on to have success with Bayern. Obviously Bayern and the Bundesliga is an entirely different kettle of fish to the EPL. Yet they still compete to the latter stages of the UCL as well.

Are we too obsessed with "winning" managers, blinded to great young managers who might be a better fit. Case in point the hiring of Mourinho over Pochettino three years ago. Where would we be now if we went for the up and coming young manager back then rather than the tried and trusted old hand?

My point I suppose is that Ole might not be a great manager, yet he might be the right man for our side right now. Obviously there is a long way to go yet in the season, but if he keeps going as he is then it just has to be him for the full time job.

Believable12 Unbelievable1

01 Feb 2019 17:38:37
Totally agree, the mentality needed at a top club is different as well, ole is doing well as he has the experience of playing in the big games and winning them. Poch doesn’t seems happy to be in the tournaments which isn’t what Utd are about.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 18:10:16
I actually wrote something similar and work and didn't post it.
It's more like the right fit than the best manager for me.
This is working, really working, and there may come a time when we will lose 2-3 games on the bounce, PSG, Liverpool and Chelsea are all super hard games.
But the negativity is out.
Most of our fans would be happy to see us play good attacking football trying to win games and still lose than see us win 1-0 and park the bus.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 18:28:53
Yet another great post shappy, you're on fire lately!

This is just my personal opinion but if for some reason we didn't get ole then I would prefer Eddie Howe, I think the job he has done with what in essence is a tiny, tiny club is nothing short of miraculous.

Also one of the best watches in the league, I've a hell of a lot of time for Bournemouth and Howe.

Agree5 Disagree3

01 Feb 2019 18:48:49
Pochettino's comment about winning cups was a weird one. However, I saw a stat today about Spurs which was astounding. If you doubled the wage of every Spurs player then signed 7 more who were all on £100k per week, they would still have a lower wage budget than Man City. That itself shows he has done an unbelievable job and is one of the best managers around.

Tactics are obviously important as managers like Guardiola, Mourinho etc show, but the most important thing is ensuring the players are invested in those tactics. As soon as Mourinho's players get sick of him, results turn but the tactics don't change. Pep has won things everywhere but his teams seem to be reasonably parabolic over his tenure. Usually after the first season and the end of the third they peak then fall away. City this season Vs last, his Bayern team looked worse in his last few months in charge and even Barcelona with Messi were at their best between 2009 and 2011.

I completely agree about Ole, if things keep going like this then the job looks like it's as good as his. As much as it's a gamble, I would love to see him get the job permanently. His love for the club is clear and this last couple of months is arguably the most exciting we have been since Fergie retired. He may not be seen as an elite manager but maybe at some clubs that isn't what is needed as shown with Zidane.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 19:23:27
One point i'd like to make is that both Zidane and Pep were not famous managers before taking over at Madrid and Barca. They were just given a chance.

Agree2 Disagree1

01 Feb 2019 19:45:41
But fresh. weren't they not managing the 2nd teams?

01 Feb 2019 20:19:40
We are still in the honeymoon period for Ole. I think we need to make some structural decisions for the club before deciding on the manager. If they want to go down the route of the all powerful manager it will be a step back to SAF days. However would they then need a DOF?

I was not comfortable with Pochettinos comments re trophies, whilst at the same time knowing he was also deflecting to take the pressure off the players.

Many have fallen into the romance of Ole and he certainly has done little wrong apart from team selection on Tuesday but it is a big job once the full expectation is brought to bear on him. If I was the CEO, I would be asking for his strategy and plan then assess from there.
A poor start next season and he would be under tremendous pressure. I get the impression things would feel good under Ole, but that isn’t enough, experience to turn around difficult situations will be needed, so we should not jump in yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 03:34:25
We have already burned our hands with Moyes. Also if we give it to Ole and results go downhill next season, i am afraid the Poch ship would have sailed.

Agree3 Disagree2

02 Feb 2019 05:09:59
Shappy

Interesting point. I don’t think it’s necessarily about winning trophies it’s about mentality. We have seen very good players arrive at OT and not deliver, they are unable to cope with tv he stage, the pressure, the expectation, and it’s the same for Managers. You don’t know how good a Manager is until you give him a chance, some will rise to the challenge, others will crumble. I know Jose had won the Champions League with aporto but it was a massive step up to Chelsea and he clearly relished and embraced it. AVB, not so much.

Take Howe. I like him and the football he plays but is he just a great fit at Bournemouth? Nigel Clough at Burton has enjoyed success he hasn’t replicated elsewhere. It’s the same with the. Ginger names, Sarris has admitted he’s finding it harder than he thought and right now he seems wracked with self doubt.

I’m not saying we take a punt but winning trophies is only a part of it. We need to understand the character and mentality of the person we want, will they cope either the pressure? I think Moyes looked like a rabbit in the headlights and was a perfect example of taking a punt. Any recruitment process has to focus on much wider issues than playing style, management experience, trophies and so on. Poch did well at Southampton and it was a big step up to Spurs which he embraced, but if you read Carrick’s book he talks about how big the step up was from Spurs to United so how would Poch fare? Would be freeze, or would he blossom and realise his potential?

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Feb 2019 06:44:15
Shan, the same case can be made for Ole.
If we appoint Poch and he doesn’t fit or succeed will we have missed the window for Ole to be successful?

Not bringing anyone in is always risky but ole believes the youth are good enough.

We won't owe much money for previous transfers come July and we have cash in the bank, expect to see the British record broken.

As for people hammering Andreas for the goal we conceded, Jones should not have passed to a player being marked by 3-4 people and matic didn t bother to make any ground up.

First game in a while so give the lad a break.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

01 Feb 2019 16:13:37
I was a big fan of Andreas Pereira, and I thought he had a chance to make it at our club. This is not a knee jerk reaction to a mistake that many other could have made, and certainly he was not the only one at fault for that goal. I just don't think he will make in in the EPL.

He's clearly a fantastically talented player, yet he seems to be missing that presence to play in the heart of midfield while also not having the pace or directness to play wide. I think he needs to play as a No.10 in a league that isn't as robust as the EPL to truly reach his potential.

I don't see who he could displace in our side, and without regular games he will stagnate, if he hasn't started to already.

He isn't defensively savvy enough or physically strong enough to replace Matic or Herrera, and he isn't consistent enough or able to assert himself enough offensively to replace Pogba.

I think he would be best suited to playing wide in a flat midfield four, deep enough to find space and use his clever forward passing to cause problems, yet not expected to be as physical as a CM.

I hope he proves me wrong, but he is 23 now. And bar the odd good performance in Spain I haven't seen him showing the kind of form or performances that suggest he will kick on.

Agree6 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 19:32:53
Not sure how you can make that conclusion Shappy after limited game time. Right now, our midfield 3 picks itself, but he’s a decent reserve and better than bringing on the big man and hoofing it to him. Of all the positions, centre mid is hard to pick up the rythem and pace of games from the bench, let alone when being brought out of the cold and lacking full match fitness which can only come with regular football.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Feb 2019 05:11:41
I’m not understanding th hype over Pereira, I haven’t seen anything that gives me optimism he can make it. He looked lost on Tuesday and off the pace. If his best position is further up the pitch then I don’t see how he gets game time, right now out challenges are further back.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2019 10:07:21
His best position is as a number ten. Which we don't really play with. I think he'll leave an in 2-3 years he'll be at getafe or olympiakos.

Just saw this and thought it puts some perspective on how things are going at the moment.

"During Solskjaer's tenure, no side has won more points (19), scored more Premier League goals (19), had more shots (121), created more chances (87) or conceded fewer goals (6) than Manchester United. ".

02 Feb 2019 05:19:10
True Shappy, but they had about 50 shots and we had 1 that went in. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Clearly I’m joking but there is an important point here. Arsenal lost their first 2 games and then had a very long unbeaten run and looked a decent team, now they are very inconsistent. Chelsea started very strongly and Sarri looked like a great appointment but now they and Sarri are all over the place.

I’ve just replied to your earlier other post about ‘winning’ Managers and I worry that Ole will be judged solely on results (Di Matteo springs to mind) . It’s a great run but deciding whether all one is the right man for us is a much wider decision than a good run, or even a few bad results.

I read this morning that ‘Ole will get the job if he beats PSG’ which is very worrying. What about how we win? Beating them 4-0 with swashbuckling football, or sneaking a scrappy goal and hanging on for dear life for 89 minutes?

The results are great but more importantly the players look like they are playing for each other, look like they are enjoying their football, are playing with freedom. We had a poor result at home on Tuesday which is Ole’s first test, how will we react? I’m enjoying the ride.

{Ed001's Note - there were probably a few youth loans I will check for you, I thought you were just asking about the first team.}

Goalie Paul Woolston was released.
Matty Willock returned from a loan with St Mirren and went back out to Creepy Crawley.
Tom Sang joined Fylde on loan.
Zak Dearnley joined Oldham Athletic on loan.
Regan Poole joined Newport County on loan.
Ethan Hamilton went to Rochdale on loan.
Callum Whelan joined Port Vale on loan.
Ro-Shaun Williams went to Shrewsbury Town, I think that was a free transfer.

There you go, I think that is all of them, unless there are some late deals yet to have the paperwork processed by the FA.
