carrick is a big hope for MU to win the match against Villareal in the champions league later

I'm very curious what strategy Carrick will launch, and how he can strengthen the MU defense

I believe it's no different with Ole strategy because he was staff before. I watch him always giving the idea for Ole when MU is stuck but there is no solution, MU keeps losing. He also didn't have experience as a coach that makes the squad still don't have the confidence for the next game. But, there is no solution, the official doesn't have a suitable candidate right now.

Man United does need a new manager, not an insider at this time, because actually the bad performance is based on poor team management inside.  For example, the management has admitted that Man United players have lost the values ​​of their own club and Ole has slowly changed them.  In the future, they need a firm figure to dare to make big decisions, such as a massive team reshuffle.

This is the  fifth coach that has not use Tanguy Ndombele from the start of there regime, what is really wrong with the player ? Pochetino sign him and didn't use him after pre season complaining that if his capacity is 100 then he is playing at 40. then Murinho came and bench him for up to 2 months I even remember a match he was taking off at 1st half, reasons is that he is not playing at a high intensity as a professional should and I also rate the tennager Oliver Skipp ahead of him, Ryan Mason came and coach for at least 6 games but didn't use Ndombele in any of this game including the carabao cup final, Nuno came same thing then after the transfer window he started using him bit by bit,now Conte is here and he has not start any of the games, he came from the beach in the Europa conference and against Everton,and he was unused against Leeds even if they were looking for goals.does it means he is not a good player? I thought he has talent.

I think  Zidane would love to coach a club like Manchester United but the so called board can't convince him or motivate him that they knows football, that's why he rejected there offers, how can you appoint Michael Carrick as a United coach when we all knows he does not have experience, I even think Ole is even better,he is not outspoken (Carrick). He has been at Manchester as a coach for a while but there is nothing interesting in him when sitting on the bench, don't know if they just want him to coach 3 or 4 games as they keep searching for new coach because I don't understand.

This came to me as a surprise because I honestly thought that Zidane will be the manager of Manchester United. Oh man, I want to sleep don't understand the logic behind this move. Yes, you had to check Ole but at least by getting someone better than him. What is wrong with the world I don't know right now.

Liverpool are very lucky to have Salah, maybe seeing his form like this, Chelsea and AS Roma have regrets for selling Salah. Since signing from Roma in 2017, Salah has managed to score more than 100 goals in all Liverpool matches. Chelsea don't have faith in Salah, they only gave 13 games to him. Unlike Liverpool, which always makes Salah as a starter when he is on fit. The trust given by Livepool for Salah make them get UCL and EPL trophies.

I don't agree with you a bit, though. No club will just put a newly bought player into the starting lineup. I mean on a permanent basis, unless the coach believes that the player has adapted and is ready to perform in the best possible way and bring value to the team. Apparently at the time Salah was not in such great shape according to the coach

I think  Zidane would love to coach a club like Manchester United but the so called board can't convince him or motivate him that they knows football, that's why he rejected there offers, how can you appoint Michael Carrick as a United coach when we all knows he does not have experience, I even think Ole is even better,he is not outspoken (Carrick).

I'd imagine the state United are in, no established manager will want to risk their reputation by going there. It's a huge club, with huge expectations... but the squad is in a bad state, and just appointing a new manager solves nothing. They have fundamental problems which will not be quick or simple to resolve.

I've said it before, but the biggest problem is Ronaldo. He's a goal-machine, and one of the biggest stars in the game... you absolutely have to play him, you can't leave him on the bench. But this brings problems. Ronaldo goes missing a lot, he won't press or do anything when his team doesn't have the ball.

Each team has ten outfield players, and the differences between teams at the top are often quite small. If you have one player in your team who plays like Ronaldo, you will never be the best team. Yes he scores goals, but this is outweighed by the negative impact he has on the team. It's no coincidence that Juventus struggled when he was there, despite his huge goals total.

I was saddened when Zidane turned down the offer but since he has his own ambitions and personal reasons then giving Michael Carrick the chance to prove his worth should be next. His first debut in the champios league against Villarreal what a strong task ahead. This match would definitely speak much about him either ways the game goes

Stop your sadness, Zidane doesn't want to be at Manchester United, maybe there will be someone more appropriate to bring Manchester United to the front seat with a new coach who is still a question mark. Maybe we think that so far Zidane deserves to be in the chair of Manchester United coach. While the United manager has also offered it first.
Because next Sunday to face Chelsea, of course this is quite a tough challenge.

This is not sadness rather this is a concern for the club. As almost all the first thing that if Zidane came in as the coach rather than Carrick, Manchester United would have done much better under his management. But I think we have to wait and see now what happens in the future. And I also don't think that the present coach will be here for much longer.

Am a spurs fan and am not being sentimental, I know Salah very well from his Basel days he is a good player but not good at scoring lot of goals he is kind of a Lennon type of winger just he is left, Chelsea brought him and to be honest they are players there that are better than him at that time that's why he was move to Roma and his game improve a little than the Basel days, then his move to Liverpool came, I honestly think Klopp made him the player he is today,he shock me with his growth at Liverpool.

~snip~

just wondering which one the stronger candidates as the next coach but seems most people said Zidane were suitable to fix MU performance

If I read the coach choices the name zidane is the one I hear the most. As for the other names I don't really know. If Zidane wanted then I would choose Zidane, he has proven his coaching skills with Madrid. He has won many titles with Madrid, if I'm not mistaken 11 titles 3 of which are UCL titles. Apart from that as a Madrid fan I am also happy with his strategy when coaching Madrid. Maybe he is a pretty good candidate for long-term Man United.

I think it's like that because at that time it was wrong that it didn't suit mourinho's game because indeed Mourinho's style of play was very different from wrong so that he was rarely trusted and only decorated the bench in that era.
but indeed things like this of course are not the will of the players but indeed the will of the coach no one wants that even M.Salah once said that in the mou era he did not feel at home at chelsea because it did not match the game that mou did so that made him stay on the bench

I really did not expect Leeds to be in the relegation zone after 1/3 of the season. They were really good last season, this year I have a feeling everything's going against them. They were at least as good as Tottenham yesterday, the minimum they deserved was a point and again - they were left with nothing.

They are playing good enough so I feel they will eventually start climbing up - but the longer the season goes, the more fear crawls into the players and starts affecting performances too. I hope they start collecting points soon, they are a good addition to the league.

Leeds have started to play better because they feel that if they don't start earning points they will definitely throw them into the relegation zone. They played very well, but this match was Conte debut and it is clear that such a match would be very difficult for any team. But you said correctly, if Leeds continues to play with the same tenacity, they will gain points. As for Tottenham, Conte debut was a success, the team won a difficult match, and this gives hope to the fans.

I really want to see Zidane or Laurent Blanc as a Manchester United manager.
The Glazers gave more time and a second chance to Solskjaer,but he failed.
It's really difficult for a big team like Man United to find the right manager.People like Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal have failed miserably as Man United managers.Back in the late 80s,nobody was expecting Alex Ferguson to become the biggest manager in the history of Manchester United,but the owners let him work for several years before achieving any success.Nowadays,no football club owner has that patience.

Yes, Laurent Blanc could also be a good option for Man United. Although briefly, Laurent Blanc had played with Man United, so I think Laurent Blanc will not have too much trouble adapting to Man United again. He is a coach who has the criteria Man United needs at the moment because he has a winning mentality, and with PSG Laurent Blanc managed to get many trophies.

Blanc has a better CV than Ole as a coach and he has more experience and better ability to build up a team and bring them to the top. It is proven by his past jobs but time changed many things and we can not assume that Blanc can do his job well this time.

Think of Mourinho, he is one of best coaches in last 20 years but recent years, he failed in many clubs and it seems his management philosophy and tactic are outdated and can not work effectively now.

How about Blanc? I don't know frankly said.

Laurent Blanc success in winning the championship trophy is no longer in doubt, he managed to present 11 trophies to PSG during his coaching, but after he left PSG I never heard from him again, to be honest all this time I thought he had retired from football, but apparently now he has now served as a manager at a club from qatar, I think with a lot of experience that Laurent Blanc has of course he will be a good coach for Manchester, besides that Manchester will certainly be able to get Laurent Blanc easily apart as the former player, Laurent Blanc also has a release clause which is quite cheap compared to some of the other potential coaches who have been linked with Manchester United.

Jose Mounrinho's best last performance that I know was when he won the UCL with Inter and after that Mourinho's fame has started to fade and indeed with several times coaching big teams he always fails and now with Roma I'm not sure he can qualify for the UCL next season.

I don't know much about Laurent Blanc but Luiz Enrique's choice is also good, but the Glazers still have a lot of time to decide.
Frankly, I don't want to be the umpteenth failure about the coach appointed for Man United.

Mourinho can work good with team but his problems recent years are his conflict with players and club's director boards. When results are bad for a while, conflict occurs and Mourinho contributes to burn the conflict up, bigger and bigger. It is his problem. I don't think tactics of Mourinho is bad and can not be used now. Issues are different, from his mentality.

I would like to choose Blanc because he played in Premier League and understand this one. Enrique did not have experience in Premier League and I think he can have troubles to adapt to the severity of playing here.

Your quite on point on this. If you look at Barcelona right now, one of the reasons they tend to fail is them not been used to change. Changes as per not having superstar players and there obsession with the Tikki-Taka style of play. Same goes to Jose Mourinho, his too stock to his ways of doing things and when it doesn't go well with the players, it results in conflict, a conflict that takes to almost the whole team.
Though you get to manage the team, set the formations, you don't get to kick the ball. It becomes of importance to be at optimum with your players.

It's a sad news for someone to always loose a chance to some means of livelihood, not like he never deserved it or isn't going to get another chance with some other team but then, for Manchester United to hopefully go forward, Ole definitely needed to go and J. Mourinho doesn't fit too.

It was a great weekend for Liverpool really. They played a home game against Arsenal and they were the highly favourite team of the game already of course. Arsenal's gradual rise in the league standings was just fabulous. But it was clear that Liverpool would still be able to dominate the game against them. And they really did just like that. Liverpool owned the whole game and won it by an incredible 4-0 score. Alexander-Arnold made 2 assists and Salah scored in this game also. As far as I know, Salah was performing really great against Arsenal so far as he scored 7 goals in the last 9 games vs Arsenal. And this was the 8th goal. He is like a one-man army.

Apparently at the time Salah was not in such great shape according to the coach

Salah has developed quite well during his time at Liverpool and that has made him one of the club's most important players at the moment of the highest quality. Salah managed to bring out the potential that was in him at Liverpool probably because he knew that the club and the coach wanted him, and training harder is one of the things he does. He is a Liverpool icon, so maybe the former team are starting to think of something they will regret willingly letting him go to Liverpool before Salah manage to hit his best form of career.

Arsenal consistently played inconsitent lol.

the Only one club that really hard to bet , most of the times with huge odds they win and sometimes with low odds they lost.
they are going to be a mediocre teams permanently with current situation that in recent years they are lack of achievements and continue. depressing indeed being arsenal fans.

Zidane is the first name to be a candidate to replace Ole at Manchester United at this time. But the problem is we never know whether Zidane will accept this proposal or not considering he also has no experience in the Premier League which is known as one of the best competitions in Europe. Just like you, if I could choose, I would also choose Zidane as Manchester United coach for the next few season but the decision now rests with him.

So far there are quite a few big names from coaches who coach Premier League teams, so if Zidane is willing to accept this proposal then of course the title race will be more difficult for each team.
