This is happening fast...

No one's buying that.

Everybody was a Man United fan with EtH at the wheel. How could one not be?

Does this bloke know what he's getting himself into?

Bruno Fernandes picking the manager. What could go wrong?

To be fair, he played Arsenal very well the times we fought his club in Europe/CL. I am not sure if this is a good or bad hire, but he seems like he has a sharper mind than EtH.

Seems likely that they had things moving for a while if it's already agreed this fast.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

At least they have Bruno and Dalot, so that's 2 players less INEOS will have to worry about buying.

Yeah I’m guessing ETH was a dead man walking for some time. Probably were just waiting to sort out the replacement before firing him.

 

[hatterson]

Seeing a number of people say that one of the reasons Liverpool ultimately didn't go with him was that he's basically 100% set on playing a back 3 all the time and the rest of the Liverpool footballing setup wasn't sold on that being the best formation either for their current squad or for recruitment moving forward.

If true and he's is insistent on implementing a back 3 at United, it could get worse before it gets better. If they're healthy I think they have the CBs to play a decent back 3 (Yoro- De Ligt - Martinez seems pretty balanced) but they're severely lacking a real wing back. I think Shaw could do great in that role since he's a great player overall and very versatile, but he can't remotely be counted on to be healthy.

 

[luiginb]

I think Dalot and any of Shaw/Malacia are a lot better suited as wing backs than they are as fullbacks.

Probably because he's one of the biggest names out there for arguably one of the biggest jobs in football?

Looking at the managers they've landed since ferguson...is it?

That's more on idiots who were in charge of hirings then.

 

[hatterson]

I suppose it depends on how far you’re extending “one of”

If you mean somewhere in the 5-10 range of world jobs, then yea. If you mean top 2-3, then it absolutely isn’t.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Ruud should be player manager with their type of finishing.

I'm half convinced they were just bottling chances just to get EtH canned

To be fair, it’s probably the best job that’s available right now or will be available in the next month or so. It’s been a shit show, but you’ll get paid a ton and they’ll likely give you two or three seasons if you demand that.
