The Manchester United Thread XXIII

(...)
Can a German be the man to weave his way through all this?

So, from watching some excellent YouTube videos breaking down Rangnick and Potential style of football - it seems that they would both tighten the attacking wingers (eg Greenwood, Rashford, Sancho) more centrally and try and use the fullbacks (AWB + Shaw)

This would be horrendous for us

They suggested Telles and Dalot in, but it would be depressing if the plan was to keep them central

Fred - 🤦

Rangnik now has the hardest, most pressured job in World football . .. but cometh the hour . ..

Not sure how - we know he’s only there for the season and he’s an upgrade on OGS. Not gonna hold it against him if we lose to PSG/Bayern in the CL. Football can only be more entertaining than under OGS.

I would say the exact opposite - he could **** up royally, still get his advisory job and we’d still say “well, he only had a year”

The players have been saying they don't know what the problem is and there's been tears. We saw an increased willingness to close the opposition down on Sunday, that's before he even got there.

Perhaps apart from a certain French primadonna these players are just waiting for a vision they can believe in, by the sound of it Ralph's got it.

Sure the bad habits of the last 3 years won't go immediately but I believe the attitude is there to make things happen so give it a few weeks And the oli years will just seem like the wilderness compared to The Promised Land.

Don't get the Pogba dislike, dude was running things at Juve, got to a CL final and he's witnessing this nonsense day to day year to year but when he plays for his national team with proper coaches he's a clear world class player.

The management and recruitment have been awful

Who forced Pogba to waste a good chunk of his years at United then?

Pogba definitely asked to leave though and when you buy ibrahimovic and mkhitaryan at the peak of their powers you're probably thinking of winning titles and being deep in the CL.

He was 36-37 😅

How much longer can you use the excuse that he was running things at Juventus? Pogba is into his 6th season at Man Utd.. His Juve career is basically a footballer's lifetime ago already!

I can use the excuse that he runs things for France against top opposition then, opposition that are as good as many premier league and CL clubs.

He will probably leave to go to Real Madrid or PSG, think Pogba would be a good replacement for Modric.

Chelsea are a bit stacked in midfield and it's unfair on the likes of Loftus Cheek and other developing players.
