    3 years from now we'll still be hearing about building a team around Rashford while talking about getting a new manager
  • @Photosoflife
    If Ten Hag is leaving then Rashford seriously needs to follow him right out the door. In all seriousness, I’m genuinely disgusted that Rashford will be allowed to play under his 6th manager at United (7 if you include Carrick). Not only have manager after manager kept getting sacked but the club continues to blindly attempt to build the team around him while further emboldening his petulant behavior and reward him with ludicrous contracts and wages that he categorically does not deserve. Rashford symbolizes the downward spiral of this club for nearly the past decade and I’m 100% completely over him at United.
  • I feel it is disrespectful and classless to discuss sacking a Manager, a day before the biggest game of the season, against the Champions. Disgusting!
  • @efesnow5612
    I’ve noticed that the individuals in the studio lack the ability to analyze games effectively, whereas those outside the studio seem to have a better grasp of game analysis and understanding what’s truly happening.” 😊
  • Its funny how they say Poch makes the best sense for an “experienced” squad and forget what he did at PSG lol
  • @Tee9156
    So you give Poch the excuse of the 'mess' he's had to face at PSG and Chelsea, but Ten Hag doesn't get the same excuse at United? These pundits.
  • @marwilbow
    No manager in the world copes without 5 centre halves! No one. Kieran Gibbs is the only one talking sense here.
  • @Photosoflife
    Whatever your stance on Ten Hag, the leak that emerged today is incredibly disrespectful and sums up so much of what is wrong with United. The player power and downing tools culture that pundits often talk about ultimately stems from United’s ownership. What a lot of people don’t realize is the Glazers have created the perfect storm of allowing themselves to get extorted in the transfer market by massively overpaying transfer fees. That is then compounded by them signing players to ridiculous long term contracts that literally no other club would pay. The players inevitably lose their hunger and drive on massive wages. Their egos spiral out of control. Performances drop. And managers take the blame again and again for players who can’t be bothered. What makes it even worse is no United manager can actually get rid of these players in any sort of timely manner because the Glazers don’t want to take a loss on the players, the players don’t want to lose their massive contracts and refuse to leave, and no one manager can actually create the team they actually want.
  • Can someone explain the love affair these guys have with Poch. Apart from his time at PSG he has won nothing and even Stevie Nicol could coach PSG to the French title. McKenna has delivered at Ipswich in two successive seasons. Other than Tuchel (and Tuchel is trouble) the other candidates are no better. From McKenna's point of view this is a good time to get a big job because there is every chance Ipswich could be relegated. And MU is a better job then Chelsea or Brighton because at MU he may have some say in transfers whereas at Chelsea and Brighton he definitely won't.
  • @adamthewolf9940
    How many managers are leaving at the end of the season at this point?
  • @wuyiwanis3181
    This is so unfair on him. The squad was decimated. It wasn’t his fault. We can’t just keep sacking managers. Give him one more season
  • @Ivanfbi
    Espn pundits again on poch and importance of prem experience... none of the managers that won the epl have managed other clubs prior to that except for Ranieri and Mourinho second time. Klopp, pep, conte, mourinho, ferguson, Wenger, mancini, etc have had no prior EPL experience. As a man utd fan, I would prefer to keep ten Hag, since it isn't confirmed yet, but if he goes, I would want Amorim or McKenna. No poch, tuchel, De zerbi or potter please.
  • Is it a coincidence we started to win games close to the end and now have most of the injured players coming back for the final
  • @Nappiboyisaac
    Eth is better than Poch. Under two seasons at England EtH has a cup medal 🏅 in his CV while Poch has none for all the year's. Chelsea rejected him Bec he's not good enough..
  • @dantoes1
    There are more managers leaving United than players....
  • @Sunny-qu3bk
    Disrespect at the highest level. Will they treat any English manager like this? Man
  • @ZAGIDI
    Never a dull moment. Manchester United should be on Netflix with all their drama 🤷🏾‍♂️.
