    Glasner would be a great appointment for them.

    They'll go for Southgate because he's free

    What they need is a complete overhaul of the culture at the club. Southgate did that with England so not the worst option, but club football very different

    Glasner to ManUre, Southgate to Palace, it's written in the stars

    Iraola would be superb for them, hopefully they go with Southgate instead

    Southgate isn't actually a bad option. 

    Personally think they should bring him in if they want someone to have a long term input towards fixing things.

    Would be uniteds 1st English manager for over 40 years.

    Maguire probably isn't going anywhere.

    As someone who rated Southgate for England, I think he'd be a terrible option for a club team, so hopefully he'll go to Palace

    Still think the Club / International Management is very different, and the likes of Southgate / Coleman have proven they can deal with coaching a team, but dont rate either at having to do the extra week in, week out bits.
  • A major difference is that Southgate doesn't have a job, whereas the other 2 do. And it sounds weird to say it, but is Man U the sort of club to jump ship to at the moment?

    Both Glasner and Iraola will get other offers

    More chance of you being appointed Fanny.

    Regardless of how shit they are, they're still Man Utd so I think any manager apart from those already at elite clubs would be interested.

    Glasner is also out of contract at the end of this season, so if United did go for him the compensation probably wouldn't be too high.

    Already ruled himself out. Didn't take the phone call.
  • Glasner would be a great appointment for them. 
    Only issue could be that they are currently proving they haven't really got the right fot of players for 343, and he plays 343.
  • Could see Southgate as an interim until the end of the season.

    Actually wonder if he might do OK, even though I don't think he's great.  Could look to sort the club culture out a bit like he did with England.

    Please let it be Wayne Rooney, However I hear he wants to get back managing the Female Super Vets team.

    Think they’re jinxed at the moment.

    I doubt whoever comes will succeed, their previous selections have truly backfired big time, I get the impression no one has a clue.

    Doubt it will be Southgate. Either of the other two would be a super choice.
    Sacking Amorin and his coaches as well as probably paying compensation for AND salaries for either of the other two, would cost Man U another king's ransom.
    I'd like to see Man U do well. I am bored with the same old 'faces' dominating the Prem table.

    Surely he deserves a chance in the Premier League after the sterling work he did here and now for the Shrews.

    Love seeing the train crash that is United !

    This is true although i think a lot of the issues are Amorim using players in the wrong positions, which i think Glasner would address.

    Shaw in a back 3.
    Bruno as a DM.
    Mainoo on the bench.

    You could improve them immediately by starting 3 natural centre backs, having Mainoo as a DM, and moving Bruno further forward.

    But ultimately the formation will struggle until they buy two decent wing backs.

    Their wing backs are fine .  Their central midfield is lacking in both quality and mobility .

    Their wing backs are Dorgu and Dalot. That's not getting them anywhere near the top 4.

    But yes agree they need another midfielder, they wanted to sign Baleba in the summer but they'd already spunked all their money on the front 3.

    The power shift has truly happened. Said to my Dad at the weekend if ManUre had a season like this in the past, they'd go out and sign Isak, Frimpong, Eze and Reijinders. Unfortunately for them they don't have the pull they used to and now have to sign players from Wolves and Brentford, and watch Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City hoover up all the best players.

    I was thinking the same. Him and Palace just seems like a great fit ;-)

    The thing about man U is that modern football will not mean they will struggle for all that long. They have such a global reach that they unfortunately will rise back up to the top 4 places.

    United need new owners and then a considerable amount of time after that.

    Probably 3-5 years 

    Then its likely they'd return to being top 4 and title contenders.
