Someone's having a real laugh - gollum?

[Captain]

Yeah, I reckon van Gaal would be quite an entertaining appointment.

[Xherdan]

This LVG thing smacks of a short term appointment, so will be interesting to see if the Glazers back him in the transfer market. 

[Mathewbet1]

I know he's been utter shite and I have no time for him all but, Think it pretty classless the way the scum have handled this. not even one statement from Moyes yet he's been booted out very ungraciously. We gave Hodgson a much more dignified exit. Funny  though.

[Mathewbet1]

Giggs is going to playing his ' steal your wife ' formation. Requires 1 at the back and 2 upfront once a day.

[Marko121]

Is anyone else sick of hearing from Purslow? The cunt goes on about criteria of being proven at the highest level. Pity he didn't apply it when he appointed fucking Hodgson

[BCM]

One name im surprised hasnt been mentioned is Frank de Boer. Done a good job at Ajax. Had some great results in Europe, brings through Youth, and would surely command respect.

[Megadrive Man]

I don't buy in to all these rumours about Klopp or Van Gaal.

 

Isn't it traditional for the departing manager to pick the next United boss anyway?

 

Alex Mcleish and Steve Kean are the most likely in my opinion.

[Marko121]

Go on..... Give it to Bryan Robson, you know you want to

Moyes left the boot in whenever he could - he deserved as much in return. The only way this could have been better would have been to call a presser to announce the club's continuing support and then sack him. With him present.

[Section_31]

Why is this the top story on the six o clock news though?

[Faustus]

The arrogance and sense of entitlement of Manchester United and its supporters truly is staggering.

There can only be one

 

[scudger99]

Once England stink the World Cup out, the Hodge may be available to steady the ship............

[Jonjo Baldy]

I'm devastated that his left, literally.  :(

[MLB]

Klopp won't go there. Way too much for him to lose and he doesn't seem like the disloyal type. Same is true of Martinez. They should be thankful that they are being considered by Van Gaal. He is probably the best that they can hope for, although they would be much better off going with a more long-term option like Blanc. De Boer would be a good choice too although I'm not sure I can see him leaving Ajax for a poisoned chalice like Utd. The fate of Moyes will no doubt put a lot of people off.

[MLB]

AVB is available of course.

[Mathewbet1]

I'd give the job to Neville neville I know he can get a bit rapey on the way home from parties, but apart from that he's a top top bloke i tell thee.

[Pureblood]

I think they're really going to struggle to get back into the top 4.   Very tough to get back in once you've lost your place, as we found out. 

 

I can't see them attracting one of the elite managers as they've lost their appeal.  They are a club on the wane, in the shadow of their richer neighbours.  Everyone would want to manage Man City.  Nobody will want to manage Man Utd as it's a thankless task.  Expectations are high, but relative to the clubs around them resources are not.

 

They'll have to take a punt on an up and coming manager, in my opinion.  Martinez would be a good option but I doubt their fans could stomach hiring another Everton manager on the back of the hopeless flop who has just vacated.  So all things considered I think Giggs will get the job on a permanent basis.

[Section_31]

Klopp already ruled himself out, hope it's not Ancelotti. He'd be the best of the names touted,but either way I'm not arsed, they'll be in the wilderness for years. Being their manager will be as intense as being England's manager in terms of press scrutiny and pressure from the fans, coupled with the fact they need major, major surgery and don't have a lot of cash to spend, it's gonna be the most difficult job in football,the only people who'll want it are ego maniacs like Van Gaal, Mouirnho or big Sam, and that of course all brings with it its own pressures and entertainment.

Agreed. Very unappealing for the likes of Guardiola, Klopp and so on. 

[Jonjo Baldy]

Harry Redknapp will take the reigns for one last glory at a 'big' club.

If only there was some way that that could happen. 

[clangers]

I can't say I'm not enjoying it despite the disappointment of Moyes departing. Still think they just don't get that they're just not quite as big a draw as they think they are. No champions league football, an old and substandard squad, old manager still on the scene, lots of debt, trigger happy owners.

 

Interesting that the absolute best managers around have quickly ruled themselves out.

[Dr. J]

Hope Giggs rights the ship enough to get them the final Europa League spot. Would be nice to see them trekking off to Poland and Russia on a Thursday and playing away in the league on Sunday. I think they're 6 points of spuds with a game in hand.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Ryan Giggs, manager of Manchester Utd, pitting his wits against Tim "horrendous" Sherwood for the glory of a Europa League place. Fucking hell, this season has been bizarre.
