This is an appointment which really excites me. Like Varane to United.
I believe it will be underappreciated in how better it makes Manchester United if things work out as the impact these moves have is often invisible to regular fans.

The tenure is well structured too. 6 month interim, and he remains for a 2 year period on a consultancy role. The fact that he accepted it after rejecting the first offer means he has significant say in club footballing direction.
No longer is the manager expected to be the next SAF and manage everything football from top to bottom. Rangnick is to fix our footballing philosophy issue. He will lay the groundwork. The new permanent manager will be expected to continue along the same lines instead of ripping up the progress. Which is why I believe that Ten Hag is the new favourite for permanent manager, with his tactical adaptability. I previously commented that if Ten Hag comes, I would like Overmars as DoF to support him. But with Rangnick in that role for 2 years I believe the stage is set for Ten Hag to succeed.

With the change in direction, I too will change my mind. If Rangnick is in the position and Ten Hag comes, then we have a great footballing setup to run the first team. Carrick can stay and learn. My fear was that the coaches would hamstring the manager in playing their way. I think that is addressed now with this structure.

I'll quote myself from 6 months ago.
I have no complaints. Got what I wanted.

I am not #OleOut yet but I am getting incredibly annoyed with him this season.
Having a midfield hole and not playing Donny is like constantly playing an out of form Martial while keeping Cavani on the bench.

Thinking back, I am more upset with Ole than any of the previous managers (Mou, LVG, Moyes).
Ole will probably be manager this time next year due to the owners like him not rocking the boat unlike Mou & LVG. Otherwise, I'd like someone like Erik Ten Hag at United to provide a playing system.

Right now I cannot describe how United's style of play is. It is terrible.

Amazing. First time Ten Hag was mentioned here was Oct 2 last year when Ole was still in charge.
Forget ESPN and the fansites, this forum is the place to be!

bansai & zhou.xingxing, you guys even responded positively. Like this have to support the new manager.
I'd give him 2 years at least. Don't judge him based on next season results.

QUOTE(bansai @ Oct 4 2021, 12:24 PM)
ten hag is good, a little rigid with his tactics, but effective. Possession, attacking, total football. My guess is barca will snap him up next year and ole will still have immunity here.

I watched this tenhag team. Seems like need intelligent players to execute those short swift tiki taka passes. Certain players in current team cant make it liao like this. Similarly in ytd city lfc games. The city players find each other in such tight spaces easily as well. They jus lack a cr7 haha

Ralf Rangnick 'is NOT happy with Darren Fletcher shouting to his players from Man United's bench during games - and asked him to stop', weeks after the technical director's f-word row with a fan

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has reportedly ‘taken issue’ with the behaviour of technical director Darren Fletcher behind the scenes at Manchester United.

Rangnick and Fletcher have been working together since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November and the German manager isn’t happy with Fletcher’s antics, according to The Telegraph.

Rangnick is said to have told Fletcher to stop barking orders from the touchline, believing it undermines his authority.

He is also surprised at Fletcher occasionally opting to participate in training when they have been a player short.

Fletcher also asked an angry United fan 'who the f*** are you' as the pair clashed during the 1-1 Premier League draw against Leicester City earlier this month.

Jamie Caplan, a 25-year-old supporter in the South Stand, stood up and raged at the United bench when Kelechi Iheanacho headed in the opener for Leicester.

Fletcher took offence and exchanged verbals with the fan, who was then accompanied out of the stands by stewards.

So based on 200/120 rumours (bearing in mind we have never spent over £150m in one summer) we'd somehow need to pull off....

£200m:

Backup GK: £5m

Centre back: £40m

Defensive midfield: £55m

Central midfield: £40m

Striker: £50m.

Winger: £10m

Right-back: £n/a.

£120m

Backup GK: £0

Centre back: £20m

Defensive midfield: £40m

Central midfield: £20m

Striker: £30m.

Winger: £10m

Right-back: £n/a.

I believe the Goalkeeping department will be untouched. We currently have De Gea, Henderson and Heaton. Even if Henderson goes, Heaton is able to come in. Third choice GK we can give opportunities to academy goalies.

Defence : I think we will see some changes, maybe a new CB and fullback. First name that springs to mind if De Ligt, who played for Ten Hag at Ajax before moving on.

Midfield : Biggest recruitment area. We are already missing a CDM. Pogba, Mata and Matic leaving. We will be recruiting a whole new midfield plus backups this summer.

Attack : I think this isn't as important as the midfield and defence. We still have Amad and Pellestri who we have never seen plus academy players like Hannibal knocking on the door. Maybe a new established number 9. But I think we should keep CR7 for another season and put the captaincy on him. It's the non-playing influence that is important. No more Good Vibes FC. We need standards that the players should be kept accountable to. CR7 will set those standards.

Ralf Rangnick 'upset' Man Utd top brass with controversial comments after Liverpool loss.

In the wake of Jurgen Klopp's men running riot against their fierce rivals, Rangnick admitted that United were six years behind their Merseyside counterparts. "It is embarrassing, it is disappointing, maybe even humiliating," the German added.
"We have to accept they are six years ahead of us now.
When Jurgen Klopp came they changed at the club and lifted not just the team but the club and city to a new level. That is what needs to happen with us in the next transfer windows."

Football Director John Murtough is thought to have differing opinions to Rangnick on how long it will take United to be restored to their former glories and will be hopeful Ten Hag can prove the 'six years behind' claim incorrect.

What do you think about the new CEO, Richard Arnold?

For me he listen to fans more than Kayu.
*
Too early for me to pass judgement on Richard Arnold but I am not expecting much different from him compared to his former boss. He may have been instructed to be more friendly and more aware of media image to the fans.
Richard Arnold is cut from the same cloth as Woodward, answers to the same boss which is the Glazers and has been part of Woodward's management team all these years. I think they even shar the same investment banking and university background.

QUOTE(yhtan @ Apr 22 2022, 12:21 PM)
This is really bad, ETH appointment should deter such thing happen, if he wanna shout, go become assistant coach.

TBH i think Fletcher kepala besar, thought using his ex-Man Utd player able to stamp authority on player.
*
Main problem areas left are the 'United DNA' staff levels. Darren Fletcher. Mike Phelan. The people who nobody really can answer what they are even doing at the club.
Fletcher especially. Can take part in training like a player because he chooses to. Shouting instructions during matches. But if the team loses, it's the manager's fault. And as technical director, he gets to pick the next manager. All the fun, zero accountability. Plus no experience as technical director or any staffing role.

People like Fletcher will be the biggest risk to ETH/Rangnick achieving success at United.
Fans should be making more noise to throw these unqualified staff out.

Let' me add oil to the fire.

Jose Mourinho is Manchester United's best manager since 2013.

Even funnier, offer Jose new contract, never support him in the transfer window, sack him.

And the funniest cherry on the cake :

- Offers Jose new contract.
- Jose requests for new CB. Denied. Jose is upset.
- Sacked Jose. Paid huge compensation.
- Appointed Ole.
- Spent 130M on a CB and a fullback (Maguire + AWB) for Ole.
- Ole makes Maguire Captain.

Good timeslot for us to watch.
Let's see if Maguire starts. If he doesn't, it'll be like starting one goal ahead!

Making chances. If only Fernandes and Elanga were more clinical.

Actually we're not playing that bad. We had our fair share of chances which only Ronaldo took.

Ronaldo's link up play is immaculate.

Matic's distribution and retention was very good from deep. Experience counts.
Can hardly say the same for McTominay though. He's anonymous.

Top 3 players for me in the first half were Ronaldo, DDG and Matic for their respective roles.

Dalot and Telles need to keep a better eye on the flank runners. They got wrongsided a couple of times. McTominay needs to just generally buck up. He's invisible.

At least McTominay doing something now. Giving away fouls.

Bruno probably needs to be subbed.
