Definitely , it's like transfer season again.

Just hoping by the end it's not someone like Rodgers or Southgate

Would be fine with any of the other names being floated around

 

[flyeed]

I got into footy as Ole was retiring. Is he actually a club legend as I keep reading? Was he a great player? I’d think a legend for a club as big as United is someone I would have at least heard of before his stint as manager. When I think of United legends I think of Rooney, Bobby Charlton, Ronaldo, Cantona, Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, etc.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Southgate would bring so much comedy

 

[flyeed]

United should hire Valverde, an actual coach with high level experience, dealt with superstars, and could give them some stability.

Valverde is a great coach for a side with league aspirations and without CL ones. But I think Ten Hag makes the most sense if he actually wants to take the job. Dutch tend to speak English fluently too. I think Ernie would be a great sleeper runner up though.

having the winner in a CL final with his history of being their go to supersub gets him that status imo. ive seen quite a few discussions on the bayern forum where most people consider coman a bayern legend now regardless of what happens in his career cause he had the winner in the CL final.

He might not be one of the greatest to wear the shirt but he was a cult hero and considered a club legend long before he took over tbf.

He scored arguably the biggest goal in club history against Bayern during the CL final at the Nou Camp to seal the only ever Treble in English footy and he was a supersub for many years scoring important and dramatic goals under Fergie on some great squads in the early to mid 2000's like vtotheinay mentioned.

It's like if Chicharito had scored an injury time winner against Barca during that Wembley final, he'd 100% be regarded as a club legend after that. Ole scored a lot more goals too.

Fans have been singing his chant in the OT stands for years after he left and retired.

That's the main reason he was afforded such a long leash over his tenure and why everyone associated with the club desperately wanted him to succeed.

Yikes

Read this too fast and thought it said he would miss AFCON.

 

[Coupé It]

I wouldn't take Poch at any big club right now, between his end time at Tottenham & the PSG stint I been thoroughly unimpressed.

He’s a small-mid team manager. That’s where it rests.

 

[fluid hips]

This Ten Hag cat is another Van Gaal waiting to happen.

Dutch coaches are extremely overrated

Easy pass. We should've gotten Conte weeks ago... He coaches with passion

 

[Coupé It]

You know what I was wrong when I said “Ole ruined his legacy”. Because these United fans are eating that Ole interview up like some suckers. Ole won.

 

[Coupé It]

Bring on the Press tears

Gary Glazer still won’t say it

Kroos: "That Was by Far the Most Beautiful Kit I've Ever Played With"

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has recently voiced his opinion over which is the best Real Madrid kit he have ever worn.

[MetalMario]

i bought that kit from one of you guys off here i think

 

[Verde Shuttles]

My only regret was buying the away kit and giving it away, I could never find again

JUST IN READ ALL ABOUT IT

Now that OGS is gone time for Maguire to step up to show what sort of captain he is, nothing but a fraud thus far.

Poch and his people are campaigning hard for the job, apparently he'd be willing to quit P$G right now to join so he doesn't have to wait until the summer and possibly be passed up again.









His family still live in England and apparently he's unhappy in Paris.

Would be peak United passing him up when he was available after Mou got sacked only to get him 3 years later while he's under contract elsewhere

Still would prefer maybe waiting for someone like ETH, Zizou or Lucho but I was down for him before Ole got hired so wouldn't be too mad if it's him.

Thank god, need Rodgers to extend next
