Read an article a couple of days ago mentioning that Dutch guy Steve McLaren ? going there as his assistant, let’s hope so
Yeah seems it’s going to happen, honestly wish he wasn’t going there. The only big issue I see is more Utd, they will need to give him what he wants and time to change things.
Absolutely rotten.Unless they have a big clear out and let him build the team he wants without the board interfering with galactico signings then he’ll be doomed to failure just like Moyes, LVG, Jose, OGS and Ragnick have been.
There’s something rotten at the core of that Untied dressing room. They need to give someone the backing to cut it out.

Agreed.
I don't think he has a strong enough personal character or international standing to stand up to the divas and egos of United, both those on the pitch and in the boardrooms. He may be a brilliant coach, but that won't be enough if he can't rebuild the team completely, which I very much doubt he will be able to. There is way too much money invested in that team for the United leadership to get rid of many of them. ETH will be forced to work with the current squad, although there will be some coming and going.
I think their situation is comparable to ours: a lot of players underperforming and a leadership that is not willing to, or able to, to orchestrate a full clear-out. In such circumstances appointing someone like Nuno is a disaster, but getting someone like Conte in is the only way. I think ETH will just be a more skilled Nuno for them, and be yet another period of chaos and poor performances, with some moments of individual brilliance thrown into it (probably against Spurs)
Sounds like ETH has quite a few conditions he wants before joining them. I wouldn’t be surprised if one is getting rid of players like Ronaldo in the summer and bringing a few of the Ajax players with him who already know his methods and style of play.
Van de Beek must be jumping for joy at the thought of ETH going there.
Personally I'm just happy as long as they don't get Poch as that would be worst case for me. He would either lead them back into regular Champs Lge qualification again or he'd be a figure of ridicule and I'm not sure I could stand either.
The simple reason for Neville's take is that he refuses to acknowledge that United and Spurs are at the same level these days and, as you say, had many of the same problems that needed fixing.I don't really mind who goes there now really, I think most of all I'm just relieved they didn't go for Conte. Is strange seeing Neville saying he's not right for United, when I think he would be right for them for the same reasons I think he's so right for us.
I think it’s fair to say that United have more pull than us when it comes to attracting personnel. They are still one of the biggest names in the sport. But from a competitive standpoint they are on the second step down from City and Liverpool along with us, Arsenal, Chelsea and possibly West Ham.The simple reason for Neville's take is that he refuses to acknowledge that United and Spurs are at the same level these days and, as you say, had many of the same problems that needed fixing.
United are special, don't forget.
