Yep…these two should join up…at the Mancs…

[Basankayis]

I think Rooney is setting his sights too low.
There’s a vacancy at the Bernabau now…

[mattyhurst]

Sadly they wouldn’t put him in long enough to relegate them.

[RedArmada]

Allardyce may come out of retirement too.

What the adventures at United and us pre FSG

We were never this bad even with H&G. Sure they almost managed to run us to the ground , but we weren’t rotten. There’s something rotten about United.

That’s not the point (I think we were as bad, but for less time). The point is that there is nothing for any club that is a shambles off the pitch. If your owners are shit, you’re winning nothing.

[Arminius]

Let’s see, 28% win rate at Derby, 26% at DC United, 13%(!) at Birmingham, and 20% at Plymouth Argyle. Seems absolutely qualified to coach at a troubled giant club.

@LucasLeiva

Not even young blokes, at that age you should know better.

It’s like 12 year old me watching the closing credits of Return of the Jedi and realising its done.

Does this mean that in 16 years, United will be managed by Jar Jar Binks?

Possibly, but I actually predict the second coming which will be heavily based on the same story that brought them success previously only using the women’s team who without any training or story arc become far stronger than the mens team.

Old Toilet will have been built far bigger and nick named LFC Killer before it gets dismantled from within by a plucky Tranmere Rovers team.

They hire a new DoF named Connolly. Turns out to be a distant relative of Billy.

[legalalien]

Carrick has been appointed according to the BBC and will be playing. 4-2-3-1 system. Apparently some details still need to be ironed out.

[Zoran]

Are the wingers nicely wide, wide enough?

Because, you know, that’s their DNA from years and decades ago…

[Limiescouse]

Like who to play on the wings because they sold them all

[Noo_Noo]

Is this where Carrick tells them the squad is suited to 3-4-3?

[Nikola]

The saving grace for a lot of their players, especially Diallo and Mainoo, is that Carrick will play the formation that suits their squad. Not sure where that leaves Cunha, though, given that Fernandes plays in the role that is likely his best.

Would he play off the left of that three? fernandes in the middle and Mbuemo on the right?

[mattyhurst]

Why are they obsessed with telling everyone and their dog what they want to do.

[Zoran]

So… it doesn’t suit their squad or all of their current key players (even if I’m not impressed by Cunha so far)?

Joking aside, it’s almost impossible to have a squad that is 100% suited to the formation.

But there are different combinations in a back 4 to fit both Fernandes and Cunha in.

Oh no, Gary Neville, they might have one winger more on the outside and one more on the inside. Blasphemy!

[mattyhurst]

I do feel Man Utd continue to try and complicate what at the basics is a simple game.
