Rudolf Hucker Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Heckingbottom was their first choice but he turned them down because United only offered a four year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 A few of my Mancunian friends are already boiling their piss about this. Much more experience than Solskjaer, but still a bit of an odd appointment unless he moves upstairs when Poch comes in in Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm still not sure who they will appoint long term. Is Poch the real deal? He has been pretty poor at PSG, Apparently Zidane doesn't want to live in England. They delayed too long and missed out on Conte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good fit. Likes high pressing football, similar to the style Poch liked to use before he managed a team full of old boys. He's also top notch at player development. If Utds plan is to move towards a younger, more intensive style, then Rangnick now plus Poch in the summer all makes a lot of sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though seems like he will be having some sort of similar role after the season. 56 minutes ago, Super said: I'm still not sure who they will appoint long term. Is Poch the real deal? He has been pretty poor at PSG, Apparently Zidane doesn't want to live in England. They delayed too long and missed out on Conte. I am interested to see where Ten Hag goes next. He has done an amazing job at Ajax. Not just the league which isn’t an amazing feat for them but a champions league semi final(few minutes from a final) and gone through the group again and look impressive. Man U might be a large step for him but he’d be my choice if I was in charge. 44 minutes ago, Northern Red said: Zidane will replace Poch at PSG if he leaves. A lot of people saying Zidane really only interested in the France job after the world cup. See how it plays out but if he takes PSG he may need to wait quite awhile before the France gig comes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they play football outside of England? Who knew? He is of course renowned in the game and something of an innovator in his day. Though I fear United players used to getting an easy ride under Ole may be in for a shock. Maybe if they had appointed him as technical director 3 years ago they might actually have had a coherent recruitment and tactical plan. He would certainly have told Woodward to keep out of the way and stick to negotiating with official noodle partners. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite so, which is why our recruitment needs to be a lot better. All the talk we used to get about finding out about a player's character before signing him was clearly so much bs.
