Erik ten Haag next Man United manager

McClaren is quoted as saying “alright our kid, I’m mad for it”

you got to be kiding me the wally with the brolly going back!!!!!

theyll be in the champ with everton year after next

Underwhelming appointment. I don't think he's the man to fix this mess. Not sure who is capable of fixing it though.

What will Poch do now?

I guess wait out 18 months until Ten Haag is sacked. Though he'd have to hope that Schteve doesn't spin a caretaker role into a 3 year deal.

Have to agree sofa. As for Poch, stock is dropping; will probably end up at Newcastle

poch will go to everton in the championship- both losers

Yeah, Poch's stock is definitely dropping. I still believe he'll return to Spurs at some stage in the next few years.

another losing club

Let's see what happens on 7th May Dragon

...but you're probably right

weell they have a decent manager at the mo and it would be madness to lose hime, esp for the seriel loser and overrated Poch.

Why on erth wd you want him back ...total madness

I never said I wanted him back, but I wouldn't doubt it happening. He's good with the kids and those trying to establish or re-establish their game, but doesn't handle the faces too well (not that we have many of those) and has very limited ability in the transfer market.

I didn't saw I wanted him back either. Conte looks a far better manager and I hope he stays long term.

Ten Hag the best candidate imo. But he needs a massive clearout and a few years. Surprised at McClaren but it might work well.

i was using you in the general sense not specfically to aspro or SK

The club that just cannot put itself right.

Get Ten Haag in - Great.
Steve McLaren assistant. Really??

They'll probably keep Phelan and Fletcher ffs.

What's wrong with you lot???!!!

Pat phelan better option

spot on HGS

Once the BBC quote then it is usually a done deal; they seldom do speculation in sport. I'm not convinced that Ten Hag is the answer but it'll be an interesting watch

Ten Hag worked with McClaren at Twente, that's where the connection comes from. I'd say if he is to be coach, the likes of Phelan and Fletcher will be taking a back seat, which is a good thing.

dont go doon the dutchman with a double barrelled surname route again

i think were forgetting the Ole golden years here,the man is a lejj

At least OGS had Premier League experience. This is a huge step-up for someone with no experience at all. Strange choice imo, but what do I know?

I guess McClaren will help here though

It seems madness to me that they didn't, at least, try to tap up Tuchel after the Chelsea debacle and also try and tap up Conte when he made it clear he was prepared to walk if he was the problem at Spurs.

After Pep and Klopp, these two are probably the best about at this mmoment in time and not to see if there was any interest at all, seems very curious.

So it looks like they went down the TH or Poch route, who are clearly not the best of class candidates in my view.

This will probably end up in tears again, whoever get's it ?

The problem at United is also above the manager's head. Are they going to back him fully or interfere with transfers etc? I'd have thought they might have looked to get Van Der Sar from Ajax too. Maybe they will in the coming years. He has experience as a CEO and on the marketing side before that at Ajax and is also a United legend.

The owners need to realise that they could spend half the money they do and be more successful, which would also mean better commercial, tv revenues etc, if they get it right on the footballing side. Most American owners concentrate on growing revenues thru business contacts and negotiations rather than thru being a successful team on the pitch, because that's all they know.

I'd agree Poch's stock has dropped a little, but IMO Ten Haag's has too.

Poch toasted Haag Ajax side
Manu want second rate managers

Eric and Steve the gift that keeps on giving.

He is inheriting a horror team. Mags, Pogs (who might be off), CR7, McTominay, Wan Bissaka. Shocking players. Okay, CR7 is class but a total distraction and a massive step backwards. Likes of Jadon Rash Varane hugely over rated to. Hopefully he can get rid of them and bring in some hungry top class technical players.
