The Glazers didn't want the headaches from someone who'd challenge them daily, and Ronaldo I imagine wasn't keen on the idea of someone who wouldn't fit into the orbit around his ego. He would've been a success but I get why he wasn't approached - not even taking the p!ss, these are the circumstances in play.

Zidane seems like the best fit. Good relationships with all the key players + has the managerial CV & general name recognition to command respect of the others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This makes sense and I wouldn't trust our board to think progressively enough to identify the next great manager like our competition seems to do. Zidane will bring in some real fear factor as well - which we need at the moment.

There was no way Ole could have been kept on for the rest of the season. Results just weren't good enough. Something had to change.

I don't know if the players had any influence but in his post mat h interview he mentioned about running out if legs. Couldn't help but think yes Ole what did you expect after letting everyone take a break. Should have used those weeks to do what he promised from the off. Better fitness and intensity

We shouldn’t have sacked Ole you muppet. What’s the point of an interim until end of season? Then another 2-3 years transitioning under another manager???

We’ve set ourselves back now. Should’ve kept Ole till end of year and then reviewed performance, trophies won etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would it take 2-3 years? Tuchel came into Chelsea and turned them around in months, United have a super expensive squad and money to burn, to suggest it will take 2-3 years is nonsense if the right appointment is made.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chelsea had a better squad than us though. Oh and their players weren’t all injured...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
United squad is littered with top talent, your excuses won't wash.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All those cat1 players Culer doesn’t rate all of a sudden

So what happened to you lot last year when you had injuries then? Ole hasn’t been able to pick his best XI consistently and that’s a fact. If he had we’d be at least 10-15 points better off.

4-1 loss to Watford because of injuries to Varane?

No, it shouldn't have been Conte.

I wanted him just because Ole was that bad and we needed immediate change.

But he was never going to be the right fit and I'm glad the club didn't rush him in.

Now we can have an experienced interim in place until the end of the season and properly bring in the right manager in the summer. And back him.

Can you imagine getting Conte in and him demanding we sign some oldie like vidal as a quick fit for midfield? Exactly the kind of nonsense this club has tried to get away from.

Conte and his team boo’d off at HT already.

Evraa Instagram post with a picture of him and Ole in training;

“Thank you my friend for making us believe in ManUtd again. Unfortunately when you don’t get the results people forget what you’ve done for the club but to all the players I’m coming for you now. See you against Arsenal….
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The players should certainly shoulder a proportionate of the responsibility for our performances recently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why the Arsenal relevance though? I know it’s the next home game but still, 2 games before that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Plus Evra was a dressing room menace against both Moyes and whoever the French manager was in 2010.
Love the guy but he does pick his fights
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was Evra a menace against Moyes? If so, why did he sign him at West Ham?

Poch is supposedly our main target for the summer Robb. You should be happy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fact that we are looking for an interim makes me think it has to be either Poch or Ten Hag.

Rooney’s gonna keep Derby up and overtake them in the running.

Robb spot on again here. What a huge miss Conte was for United.

Or that they don’t have much of a plan at all and just have to buy some time now…
