Manchester United: 2025/2026 Season

I rate Maresca. I think he did a really good job at Chelsea, despite the poor ownership. Maresca does seem like he has his heart set on replacing Pep at City, so I don't think we can get him.
Maresca would be a poor choice as Pep replacement. His squad management at Chelsea wasn't thar great
 
Those statements he made he was begging to be sacked. In fact I think he wanted to be sacked first season too. His statements even first season reminded me of when conte wanted the sack.

I don’t think he was even desperate to win games in his first season. Content to lose. Europa league he even lost partly to stubbornness.

I think there were signs early on he realised he made a mistake coming to United. But walking away would make him look bad, clubs won’t want him if they think he’ll just give up.

He was an exciting young manager and his reputation was being destroyed. This is the best case scenario for him, sacked and not a terrible position in the league. And for comments against board rather than incompetence.
 
The next manager should be someone who is already managing in the Premier League.

My first choice would be Unai Emery.

If we can't get Emery, then I wouldn't mind Howe, Silva, Iraola, etc. But Emery would be the absolute top choice.

No more of appointing managers from crappy foreign leagues like the Dutch or the Portuguese league.
Agree with this. It should have been proven managers from strong leagues. Until a solid foundation is built.

It has always been unproven young managers in foreign leagues. Or managers out of their prime like Mourinho and Van Gaal who don’t play modern football. Though I still think Mourinho could work at a very defensive club but United isn’t that.

Emery would have been great but he won’t go now. Pochettino in the past they made a mistake going for ten hag instead. Conte, Tuchel could have been got.

And these are all the ones in very sure could have been got, who gave signals. Who knows guys like flick, luis enrique, Nagelsmann, etc might have been able to be persuaded too.

I think the board always went with the fans decision. Who naturally opted for the more exciting though unproven option.

You can always go for an option like Amorim after you’ve had someone else in to clear out the rot and revolutionize the club. You don’t take that risk early on.

I agree.

For a team like Man United that has a very poor structure, you need managers who are proven to get results in the Premier League, such as Emery. Managers like Amorim or Ten Hag are managers you get when you have a great structure in place.
 
If I was abetting man I would put my money on Oliver Glasner being the next ManU Maager.
He’s first favourite. And next is fletcher lol. Glasner would probably be alright, but this is a guy who is getting mid table with Crystal Palace. I guess they don’t have the resources so it’s a decent position. But it’s hardly knocking the door down.


It’d be laughable if Maresca joined after his breakdown with Chelsea lol. It would be the exact same issues for him. And man united hiring someone who went against the board, whilst sacking the last guy who went against the board. Too much irony.

It’s a terrible time to get a new manager. All the easy obtainable quality managers are now locked down. Tuchel, Pochetinno and Nagelsmann are all involved in international football now. With the World Cup so soon they can’t just leave their job now.

Emery is doing too well with Aston Villa. Conte won’t leave Napoli for this.

Man United have to go for Xavi. I think he’s the only realistic big name that they can get right now. Did incredible things with Barcelona.

I don't want Glasner. He plays 3 at the back, and although he has proven himself to be a significantly better manager than Amorim, I just don't want Man United to hire another manager who plays that system.

I actually wouldn't mind Xavi. I love a bit of tiki-taka football at Man United. And Xavi will command the respect of the players and will be able to attract players to come to Man United.

Hansi Flick is a upgrade on Xavi. Theres talk he will leave end of the season.
