What do you think?

I think they'll go for Zidane but not sure that would be a great appointment for them. He strikes me as another that'll just strive for instant first team success and just buy world class players to do so.

I get the idea of that and why that is appealing but IMO they should be looking to appoint someone who will build something long term. I personally think they should go for Pochettino from Spurs. Lets face it, he would go and money isn't really an object for them so they'd be able to do a deal with Spurs.

Yesterday’s man. Appears to be be a bit of a dinosaur. Ironic that he appears to have turned into all the things that he used to unmercifully dig out Wenger for.

It sounds like he’s been mutually consented

I'll go for the "given millions even though he was a failure" option

Fireman Sam...:)

**Andy.1875** · 18-12-2018 09:04 AM

BBC saying sacked.

***J-C*** · 18-12-2018 09:05 AM

Good, the man was never Man U class, old school football and ideas.

I know Zidane is free but lots of rumours they want Pochettino.

***lapsedhibee*** · 18-12-2018 09:06 AM

Good. ****.

Not just Elvis who's left the building then?

**Colr** · 18-12-2018 09:11 AM

Shown the door.

Man Utd should have managed the succession from Fergie and developed successors as Liverpool did to follow on from Shankly.

***PatHead*** · 18-12-2018 09:12 AM

Just hope they don't go after the visionary that is Harry Potter. We need him at Tynecastle as long as possible.

**chrisski33** · 18-12-2018 09:12 AM

No surprise tbh

Is he the Potuguese Craig Levein

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 18-12-2018 09:17 AM

Didn't think the board had the baws to do it mid-season, but the club is shambles: relationships have broken down, results have been horrendous.

I hope United go for Poch at Spurs.

**MWHIBBIES** · 18-12-2018 09:17 AM

Actually shows how well Arsenal have done to replace Wenger. United have been a shambles since Ferguson left

***McSwanky*** · 18-12-2018 09:18 AM

Carrick odds on at SkyBet?????? TBF he has gone from 1/3 to 10/11 in 5 minutes though, next manager markets are bizarre!

Totally. Showed desperation in appointing him. There's an argument that he could maybe have come in immediately after Sir Alex retired so united got his 2 year cycle at a point when they needed to stay at an elite level and I think he'd have got more out of the group of players Moyes struggled with.

All signs point to Poch. But think waiting till the summer is the right call. Someone has to take a gamble on an Eddie Howe type at some point...

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 18-12-2018 09:20 AM

This feels like an early Christmas present

***weecounty hibby*** · 18-12-2018 09:20 AM

Hasn't been special for a number of years now. Only in his own mind

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 18-12-2018 09:23 AM

Off to Inter Milan it seems, not before time either, a total has been.

**we are hibs** · 18-12-2018 09:24 AM

Carrick will take training for the next couple of days and a new temporary manager will be appointed within 48 hours until the end of the season. They obviously have someone lined up

***bingo70*** · 18-12-2018 09:28 AM

Casillas made an interesting point that while he was correct to suggest he was reaching the end of his playing career nobody really ever suggests when a manager's career is coming to an end.

I know it's a bit different as a player relies on physical attributes but there has to come a point where a manager just simply isn't as good as he was previously, very rarely do you get a Ferguson, a Wenger or even a Warnock.

I wonder if in the modern game most managers, unless they evolve with the changes happening withing the game and the changing room may have a 10-15 year effective managerial career as well.

Jose seems so set in his ways and arrogant i can't see him ever changing. Lets face it though, if you're a top player you would rather play for Guardiola, Klopp, Emery or Pochettino who all seem to have a much better and effective relationship with their players.

**Sir David Gray** · 18-12-2018 09:30 AM

Not before time it's been clear to me for a while that he doesn't want to be there and their current league position is unacceptable.

To be 19 points behind Liverpool before Christmas is embarrassing, the gap between the two sides is enormous.

They have too many "good" players but not enough world class ones. Recruitment under his watch has been awful and his man management leaves a lot to be desired.
