Manager Mauricio Pochettino

Poch won't leave and no proven manager will touch United with a 25 foot pole. Squads a mess and needs serious spending done to it and the board seem reluctant to back anyone and sign players based on name. Atmosphere inside the team seems toxic they are more interested in selfies and games then results on the pitch.
There gonna have to do what us and Liverpool did go for a young manager with something to prove and hope he can stabalise the situation. Zidane is the most likely candidate in my eyes.
And Poch would be a goon to leave here to go there he's built this team from the ground up, why leave it just before the project is finished. To go to a team that might be a bigger name in the past but in the current situations and climate is a lot worse off

I'm worried he'd be tempted to work with a club(chairman) that is willing to fully back him to compete at the highest level.
The club should give him 100 millions for January window to show him they can match his ambitions.

Liverpool arent building what is simply the best soccer stadium the world has ever seen.. and what have they won with Klopp?
Is the last thing they won the league cup in 2012?
So did Utd
Here are those 11 signings made by Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, costing a combined total of £358.8m...
- Eric Bailly - Centre-back - Villarreal - £30m
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Striker - Paris St-Germain - Free
- Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Midfielder - Borussia Dortmund - £26.3m
- Paul Pogba - Midfielder - Juventus - £89m
- Victor Lindelof - Centre-back - Benfica - £31m
- Romelu Lukaku - Striker - Everton - £75m
- Nemanja Matic - Midfielder - Chelsea - £40m
- Alexis Sanchez - Forward - Woolwich - Swap involving Mkhitaryan
- Diogo Dalot - Full-back - Porto - £19m
- Fred - Midfielder - Shakhtar Donetsk - £47m
- Lee Grant - Goalkeeper - Stoke £1.5m
So (and I fully expect you to run off and not answer)....if Poch is doing better despite “not being backed” than a “proven winner” did with 360M, why are transfers the reason Poch will leave?
Why do people not understand that our managers strengths do not lie in the transfer market? Why do people think that a new manager will go there and be given another near half billion?
When it’s patently obvious that even if Carrick takes over until the summer, Utd will improve.
With everything we know about Pochettino the man, do you think he's going to fuck off 1 year into his new 5 year contract, because I definitely don't. Also from a Man Utd stand point, you think they want to give us a fuck ton of money for Poch, when there's people like Zidane and Conte available on a free, in a summer when they are undoubtedly going to have to spend big on players
Poch has been very patient with Levy like the way Benitez has been with Mike Ashley. You can only tolerate so much working in that environment.
This is the perfect, perfect time for anyone to take the Man Utd job.
You mean like how the backed Mourinho this summer? They don't spend wisely, the entire strategy of United is signing players based on how marketable they are
How many times does the man himself have to come out and say that its about buying the right people at the right price not just about buying anyone, and he said it again the other day about this January transfer window.
I'm not saying he would get the hundreds of millions Liverpool have spent but I am confident that ther is money there when the right player comes along that he wants.
I've always been wary of United ever since that pic of Poch and Fergie having lunch went round in 2016. I thought at the time it was naive to think Fergie wasn't laying some foundations and part of me still does today. I think United is the only English club Poch would ever dream of leaving us for, and I think it's unfair to criticise fans for legitimate worries.
Hopefully we might get an inkling of what his feelings are at his press conference today (assuming he has one?)

Poch ambitions are to compete with Citys and Liverpools, do you think he can achieve that working under the bald version of Mike Ashley?
Ok. So answer Sammy's question yourself.
Why aren't Liverpool fans bricking it they'll come for Klopp?
Exactly. Surely some of these people must think one thing only then.
Poch will either go to City, PSG or China, because they can all blow Utd out the water
He has spent 400+ millions in the last 3 years, how much has Poch spent?
But its not just about spending, look at big spenders Fulham bottom of the table.
Some managers rely on their spending power to make it big but others coach the players and improve what they have alongside sensible buys.
Because.... Liverpool managers... dont go to United... ever... ever in history, ever ever will it happen... .. just maybe?
