Not a chance. NUFC glasses off and we're making mad promises to Howe to stay here over Manure. Frank is no better than what they've got imo.

It’s a wee bit of a poisoned chalice is the Man Utd gig. So much politics to manage as well with the Glazer protests and the Greenwood and Antony baggage that goes with it. I think Emery will get a move to another big club in time, I just don’t think Man Utd’s it. It just doesn’t look appealing at all.

I agree, I think Emery has had his fingers burnt with both Arsenal, and PSG to think going to Man Utd would be a good choice.

It would be interesting to see if De Zerbi would be interested. He hasn’t been tested with the promise of a ‘bigger job’ at Brighton, and as we have seen, Brighton are all to happy to take money when it’s on offer.

Howe I think would be wise enough to realise that he would be worse off going there, and that’s assuming our club even answers the phone to Man Utd.

 

It’s weird because Ten Hag clearly isn’t the right man for them, however there isn’t a manager out there who you think is capable of doing what’s required for them, and who would actually go there.

The only manager who I think could turn it around, and who may be tempted to go at there at the end of the season would be Simeone.

If Ten Haag does get the chop, where does he end up next? As he had a big reputation after Ajax, but what's happening at Man United is clearly going to knock him down a bit.

 

Could see him at a club like Dortmund.

He didn’t do anything at Ajax aside from a good cup run that any manager of Ajax isn’t expected to do.

Same was said with Klopp to Liverpool. The pull of these historic clubs is greater than it should be. Managers will keep making these same mistakes, especially foreign.

All jokes aside, if i were the manure board i'd throw everything I could at Emery. 

 

Problem with Emery is he's repeatedly shown he has a ceiling and when the wheels eventually come off he struggles. 

 

That's not to say he hasn't learnt anything in recent years, but I think a side like Man United (who can't take too many risks) would want to see how he gets on at Villa a bit longer.

 

This is all hypothetical of course as he'd have to be completely mad to want to leave Villa for Man United at the moment.

I find it hard to even imagine what it is Man Utd need in a manager. I'm guessing the likes of McClaren being involved points to a philosophy of continuation of culture from the higher ups? Cant imagine it was Ten Hag's decision to have McClaren there, might be wrong. They need an absolute clear out of staff and a whole new one if I'm right about feeling like there's instruction from above to hire X or Y. I just get the impression there's always been rot in there somewhere since Fergie left and they've just been patching things up.

Ten Hag was the one who brought McClaren in, they have previous together as Ten Hag was his assistant at Twente over a decade ago

 

Also when Ten Hag was appointed it seems like it was done on the basis of him being given control, which no top or high performing club really gives to managers/coaches nowadays

 

They lack a proper football structure, at the moment it's Ten Hag wanting a player (usually someone he's worked with before) and then the money men go and negotiate a shite deal

 

They need a Dan Ashworth equivalent and until they get one they'll continue to be an absolute mess
