buh yo, you were the same person who made a shorts vid saying ETH would be a success at Utd and you're saying otherwise. Choose a side.

[@youngoriginal03]

Atlantis, do you think Ruben Amorim or Poch would be a good replacement for ETH(assuming he gets sacked)

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@jeffreyamankwah5036 what are you talking about? That was two years ago 🤣 “choose a side” mate this is the exact problem. You aren’t even analysing the situation. Just picking a side and not changing your mind. This not how you are meant to develop your opinions

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@youngoriginal03 yeah Amorim would be a good option but I would prefer De Zerbi if I were Chelsea

[@Shappy86]

I agree that people do change the parameters of their argument to suit their opinion. It's clear you just want EtH gone and that's fine, I understand that view point. Personally I'd like to see him given a year under a proper structure that can support a manager. That said, I'm 90% sure he'll be replaced regardless of what happens in the cup final. As for De Zerbi I have two concerns with him. The first is that he very attached to his tactics and stubbornly will not change them or bend. Meaning he would only be a good fit for United if his ideas and the clubs ideas match up perfectly. As he won't bend to the clubs will. The second is that he is very abrasive and has a history of falling out with players and other key staff at clubs. Which would be a concern. If United are to replace EtH then I feel it has to be with a charismatic character who can get everyone pulling in the same direction. One criticism of EtH that I do agree with is that he can be a difficult character to get along with, and that is something that club should consider when replacing him.

[@ste4392]

De Zerbi has 7 clubs in 10 years and has just left another after an underwhelming season. Should be nowhere near the conversation if you want a project manager. McKenna would be coming into a squad mostly still filled with players that let him down before and tbh, should manage in the Prem before being considered. Honestly videos like this just highlight why Ten Hag is still the best candidate

[@AtlantisFootball]

De Zerbi has not had an underwhelming season. Brighton finished 11th, where do you want them to finish. He definitely is a project manager. Do your research, he built a promising project at Sassuolo and his previous clubs he left to get better jobs after a year or so, whilst he left his job at Shakthar because of the war

[@AtlantisFootball]

Ten Hag is definitely not the best candidate, we’ve just had our worst PL season in history and looked tactically awful

[@ste4392]

​@@AtlantisFootball so if he does a decent job with us, he'll leave to one of the big Spanish clubs and if he struggles he'll leave when it gets hard. He's a good coach, but you can't trust him to stay on, same as Tuchel. Brighton have struggled this season, they were poor in Europe too

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@ste4392 no he won’t because he’s at Man Utd not a mid table pl club

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@ste4392 they haven’t really struggled this season they finished 11th and also had a lot of injuries too, alongside losing their two best CM’s and having to contend with Europe and they only have the 14th highest wage bill with a lot of young players in the squad.

[@ayaoviespoirdjissenou8729]

I am now getting a little annoyed with Atlantis's laser focus and high energy argument for sacking EtH. Totally giving me engineer vibe. Engineer not an executive (someone with the bigger picture and defines the vision). Perhaps you might be vindicated in the end, but I think there are more deeply rooted issues at united in addition to EtH.

[@theemotionalremix]

If you think there's a bigger issue then stop bitchin and moaning and just tell us about it.

[@browniebear]

Wanting EtH sacked is not the same as believing he's the only problem. The footballing structure is undergoing an overhaul & we've got to see how they perform. The Glazer excuse has to stop momentarily because Ratcliffe & Co are the ones spearheading the football operations from now on. Whether they deliver remains to be seen. Background problems are being addressed, the manager is just the last straw.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Mate you need to grow up. How can you get annoyed when We just finished 8th and had our worst season of PL history. The issues are tactical which is down to the manager

[@theemotionalremix]

Why can't you accept that we just had a bad season? If it was any other manager the criticism would still be the same. The team has played poorly all season and someone needs to be held accountable.

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@theemotionalremix yep exactly my point. We haven’t just had a disappointing season we’ve had our worse in PL history and Tbf the underlying stats show we are fortunate to be as high as we are. Social media has made people think that supporting the club is backing the manager at every point.

[@edwinmoatshe8063]

Dude...just stop. This is getting ridiculous. We dont want Ten hag sacked!

[@Vlox234]

He does though? It is his account. And his points aren’t necessarily invalid. I do think he’s overlay harsh and forgets integral aspects of managing such a powerhouse side commercially, but opinions are opinions and he’s definitely getting unnecessary hate just cause he doesn’t enjoy ETH tactically.

[@MorrisseyMuse]

I know alot of Man Yoo fans that do want him sacked lol and why not? he finished 8th!

[@kian9371]

Interesting video but under your logic you would’ve sacked fergie, arteta and klopp. All weren’t challenging for the title in their first 3 seasons. You would’ve called it ‘wasting’ a season. You’re right about a fair few things in the video but i do believe managers should have time and sacking ole after the europa league final would have been wrong. He finished 6th, then in his first full season finished 3rd, then 2nd with a europa league final whilst beating city in the league a fair few times. It was not clear if he could take us back to the top or not and I believe that would be the wrong choice by the dof to sack him after that final.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Arteta and klopp wouldn’t have been sacked. They were both constantly improving. That’s not the same as what is happening with ten Hag. Ferguson was 30 odd years ago so you can’t even compare with today. The point is, we need a manager who is capable of challenging for the title. Even though Ole finished 2nd he was never the man to compete with Pep. It’s not about where managers finish it’s about whether you think they are going to be able to challenge for the title long term

[@AtlantisFootball]

But in hindsight it would have been the right choice that’s the point. You don’t what for a sackable offence to get rid of a manager you have to make the call before hand just as Chelsea have done with Poch.

[@MingZai]

well said 👍🏻

[@ste4392]

​@@AtlantisFootballArteta didn't look like he was improving. He finished 8th twice and then lost 3 on the bounce

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@ste4392 yes he was. You need watch teams not just look at results. In his second full season Arsenal finished 5th and were better tactically than Ten Hag’s United after the same time in charge

[@chrisgray1507]

Tbh you could say United finished 8 points behind Villa when United had their worst season ever and Villa had their best season. Look at Spurs apparently an amazing season but still only 6 points ahead…. So you can argue it both ways…..

[@AtlantisFootball]

Not really because Villa have an inferior squad, a lower budget and started off as a mid table. Also they finished in the top 4 so it’s going to be tighter the further you go up the table

[@navinmanogaran3826]

Not saying De Zerbi & McKenna aren't good, but your analysis is quite one sided. Even if they have good tactical mind, doesn't mean they will be good in Man Utd. Managing the like of Palace, Brighton, Spurs, Ipswich and Villa is not the same as managing Man Utd. All the club i have mentioned are actually better run than Man Utd. Have proper recruiting system, and pay's people what they deserve and that doesn't fall on ETH. Most of us aren't blind by how we perform this season, we just want continuity with the proper board behind ETH making those decision for him and just make him a coach. What he did in Ajax is fantastic and we could replicate something similar with a much harmony in the management part. Another arguement is that the players always gets away with this shit performance and throwing the team under the bus, except for Wilcox there isn't anyone in the board are close enough to the actual team to see what actually happening who needs to go and stay, and that is also the reason according to report he sitting with ETH almost every morning before training chatting (I dont know what they chat about but i assume it would be to do with the team and players) I always enjoy your videos and analysis, since u have started, just disagree with this

[@browneyes0332]

[@ninmacaan5997]

is De Zerbi GONNA make RAshford,antony, help in defence will he make AWB cross balls, will make Maguire play football will he make Casemiro and Main control the matches will he make Bruno keep the ball instead of going long if there is no option will he MAKE the rest of the team be Injury free I DON'T THINK SO. SO MAN UTD'S issues ARE NOT ETH'S FAULT. I CAN KEEP GOIN

[@AtlantisFootball]

Mate you’re completely wrong. De Zerbi will allow us to have a compact defensive unit and not concede 30 shots a game, whilst also being able to play out from the back under pressure. It’s 100% ten hags fault

[@parthgravity]

@AtlantisFootball Bro can you make a comparison video of last season of TenHag with Ajax and this season of Manchester United n see whether the tactical flaws were there with the Ajax team.

[@cornthdl]

It baffles me that no one gives credit to McKenna already having spent time coaching at United under multiple coaches. He is uniquely qualified to walk in completely eyes open to what the issues have been and are at United.

@mwituinfluencers Those players are about to be cleared out or are already gone, as well as whoever the coach is going forward, including Ten Hag, will have the new regime backing that coach so I’m not worried about that issue any longer for any coach.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Neither is ten Hag. You’re only judging managers on the clubs they have been at not on their actual ability

[@ste4392]

There's 2 concerns with McKenna. It's a big jump (not to say it can't work and I'd be behind him if he got to job) and the squad is still full of players who let him down when he was with Ole

I'm saying that they are not ready yet since they have nothing to back it up. In order to be the best in class, we need the best coach. We want to be Elite, we need elite coach. Neither of them are that and frankly you can't argue about that. You can't with good will say that De Zerbi or McKenna are elite managers.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Mate the other managers aren’t at Man Utd. De Zerbi has performed far better vs Man Utd than Ten Hag has vs Man Utd. How can you seriously not understand? We’ve just had our worse season in Pl History and fortunate to be that high. We’ve had patience. It’s been 2 seasons. You don’t need 4 seasons to rebuild, that’s completely false. The issues are tactical and ten Hag has failed to solve the

[@AtlantisFootball]

Chelsea finished 10th in 15/16 and then won the league the next year under conte. Juventus finished 7th in 2010/11 and hadn’t won the league since they got relegated in 2006. Next season they won the league. Barcelona hadn’t won the league for years before Rijkaard came in and won back to back La Liga’s and the champions league from 04-06. That’s besides the point. What successful rebuild involves becoming a mid table side in the second season.

[@ohenebuabeng4539]

The fact of the matter is Man United needs not less than 3-4 years. Just look at Arsenal and Arteta. Rebuilding takes years and not just two years. How many years did Klopp take to win an epl cup for Liverpool. So what next, when di Zerbi comes and cannot deliver a trophy in two years. Are we going to sack him as usual. The man needs time.

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@ohenebuabeng4539 No completely wrong. Arteta and Klopp's rebuild's were consistently improving and didn't have massive tactical issues. Ten Hag's united aren't improving they are getting worse and their are glaring tactical issues. How can't you understand that. Its nothing to do with winning a trophy. Be honest do you actually understand the tactical side of the game? You can only rebuild with the right manager and ten hag is not the right manager

[@JohnDoe-qm8ns]

​@@AtlantisFootball Arteta's rebuild was not consistently improving. They ended 20/21 a lot better than they started 21/22. They were getting relegation shouts, remember?

[@2face789]

It's not because they don't want to sack Teen Hag. It's because they want to decide on an identity and playing style FIRST, then after that, they'll research managers who fit that playing style. They are not gonna make that decision now, because many of the key people who are supposed to be involved in this process are on gardening leave. So Teen Hag will stay until this process is at a more advanced stage. This is the process: 1) Install new executives and backroom staff 2) Decide identity 3) Research managers 4) Hire manager They are still at stage 1 and will not go to stage 4 before finishing stage 1-3.

[@AtlantisFootball]

They shouldn’t be at stage 1. They should be at stage 3 by now

[@JohnDoe-qm8ns]

​@@AtlantisFootball Why?

[@kaaiism]

Ten hag took ajax with half the budget of brigton to back to back eridivise titles, and champions league semifinal, what has de zerbi or mckenna done?

[@AtlantisFootball]

Just not how you judge managers. This is exactly what I was saying in the video. Judge managers on their tactical set ups in 2024, not just by scanning their Wikipedia pages

[@AtlantisFootball]

De Zerbi got Brighton there highest ever PL finish and McKenna got back to back promotions.

[@kaaiism]

Its not about scanning Wikipedia pages, its about winning with a sustainable modern playing style. My point of mentioning ten hags achievements was to point out there is no fault in his playing style or tactics, getting a promotion and winning back to back league titles is not the same bro. Look at ajax after he left, he made things look easy. Ten hag is one of the finest coaches at present, de zebri and mckenna has lots to prove. You see man united not winning, bring up some footages and see that someone is not tracking back or the shape is incorrect. It is not about coaching its about players who are not fit to play a managers style. Its stupid to compare tactics when players are not available. If it was ten hag then city would have thrashed us in the fa cup final. Ole found it extremely difficult to break low block teams. You can then point out about the managers tactical ability. United under ten hag lost against teams with different playing styles. Most of whom we beat last season. Its not about tactics

[@AtlantisFootball]

@@kaaiism that’s not how judge a managers tactics. His tactical set up is at fault as we saw throughout last year. It’s about recognising how good a manager is tactically and getting the best out of individual players not just looking back at achievements. Yes and McKenna and especially de Zerbi proved they were better tactically than ten Hag over the last 2 seasons. That why de Zerbi is a better manager.

[@Chris-ge7zo]

The issue is the timming. With our Ceo and our Director not coming in until the end of the summer. I dont see us sacking ten hag until in the middle of the year if he does bad.

[@Premier7768]

McKenna was at Manchester United. I don't think the club should go back to the past, reason being I don't think he's good enough as a main leader.

[@AtlantisFootball]

He was a coach not the manager

[@AtlantisFootball]

Plus he was well respected as one of the best young coaches in England at the time

[@Premier7768]

If he was a coach and never did much, could he manage Manchester United, bro? I am sure a manager does much more than a coach or, let's say, has many similarities. However, De Zerbi looks quite serious or strict not easily manipulated so the possibility of him coming in looks promising.

[@Premier7768]

@@AtlantisFootball Yes, but being well respected is one thing, but can he manage those players' egos? Manchester United needs a structure from the top down, so removing Ten Hag is not a good idea. No top coach could manage these players at the club. Most of them are not good enough, money has been wasted.

[@TheFazer1992]

A new manager would mean a delay in the transfer action again...that's the biggest reason to not change the manager again. Until we have a complete setup that does transfers regardless of managers we will be slow and miss out on the easier and decent deals. There were no good managers around that fit the model we seemed to be moving too until this week. The ones that were are managers that want full control of transfers, which we seemed to be trying to get away from. At the end of the day I'm fed up with changing managers but there have definitely been some decisions that ETH has made that make me question his chops here. Hell at least when rangnick was here you could clearly see what he wanted the players were just unable to do it, ETH there are a lot less of those moments where I see his style shown.

[@AtlantisFootball]

No it wouldn’t. The manager is in charge transfers. That’s not a reason to keep the manager. Before the transfers happen you need a new manager. There’s plenty of good managers around: De Zerbi, McKenna, Inzaghi etc

[@AtlantisFootball]

We can’t keep a manager for that reason

[@TheFazer1992]

@@AtlantisFootball I did just say there were no managers for our "apparent" style of backroom till this week. But a manager change will slow down transfers, just look at every past manager's first season. All slow moves made, all needed to see the players in training and in pre-season before making decisions. If the structure above has made these decisions already and make moves regardless of managers then I'm ok with a change. But if manager needs to see and sign off then good luck signing anyone till mid July.

[@hoangcuong6039]

Change the players ffs, why tf are you going on and on about the manager thing? It's been 10 years, we all realize it's never been only about the manager of ManUtd, players like Rashford, Lindelof, Martial have been here for nearly a decade, why don't you mention them? CHANGE THOSE PLAYERS FIRST, the manager thing comes second. De Zerbi only lost Caceido and he got fcked this season. Futhermore, De Zerbi never won a trophy. ManUtd NEED manager with class like Zidane or Ancelotti, we don't need an experiment like De Zerbi, look at how Chelsea doing with their experiments.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Completely wrong. Why I’m I still going on about the manager? Because we are 8th mate and a mid table side. It is the manager not the players. It’s the tactical set up in and out of possession which is the issue. We changed the players, it’s a completely different squad to LVG and Mourinho. Mate your knowledge is poor. You don’t judge up and coming managers on what trophies they have won, that’s lazy analysis. Be honest, do you actually understand the tactical side of the game?

It is too soon to replace EtH and make another leap into the unknown with a new manager. If I were Ineos I would keep EtH and see how he performs next season with the new players that will be coming in. Whether we keep him or replace him we won't be challenging for Trophies next season, so you are losing nothing by giving him another season to grow into the job. If Ineos do decide to replace EtH, McKenna would be a bold and brave move, but I suspect that it would be too much too soon for the Guy and he would be better off staying at Ipswich

Arteta finished 8th in his first 2 seasons didn't he? He needed time to get rid of undesirables like Aubameyang, Mustafi, and Ozil. More importantly, he's had the time to work under a proper football structure. ETh is the least of our current problems. There needs to be a complete transformation fo this squad, bringing a set of players to operate within a defined system, the training facilities need to be upgraded, and our medical staff need to be sacked! I'd run Ten Hag's contract, and give Ineos the time to settle and make those changes. Even the almighty Klopp needed time at Liverpool to get rid of the players he was given and get his. Guardiola's transition was more seamless because their director was already making moves while he was still at Bayern. I completely disagree with the idea that we have given our managers enough time! Even the great Ferguson didn't hit the ground running. So, whether it's Ten hag, de cerbi, or Guardiola, this club is not winning anything meaningful any time soon.

Still think after almost getting to Champions League final with Ajax, playing incredible football, you can't say ETH can't do the same with us, given the personnel to do it. I don't get that logic as he's done it, and one more season with the right recruitment might just get us there. This season is an anomaly. We aren't going to agree on this, and I can't defer to you despite your expertise which is hard position for me to take. I just think you have a blind spot on this.

Give ETH one more season and if it fails, then we can change up.

Mate I can say ten Hag can’t do the same because he hasn’t done it this season. He’s failed miserably without even being able to implement a clear style of play. Getting Ajax to the CL final was 5 years ago. The tactical landscape of the PL has changed dramatically since then. Last season we were fortunate to finish as high as we did and the whole season we were told he couldn’t play the way he wanted because he needed a new goalkeeper

Cant even imagine how you're suggesting McKenna for the United's managerial role. The man's been a manager for few seconds. Lets see how he fares in the Prem. And coming to De Zerbi, all Brighton's managers have been good because of the structure put in by Tony Bloom. United clearly cant clear out everyone and United dont have the De Zerbi type players. Then what? Again start from level 0 with new manager and sack him in 2 years for not getting results?? Maybe you should start reviewing your earlier videos and start posting new apologetic videos for your incorrectness. Maybe you're just posting United's content for the views.

When i saw Statman Dave's analysis of McKenna's Ipswich Town, I literally could envision United playing like that and it looked glorious up to the point of Rashford tucking into the left half space of the field were he'd be at the erfect place to shoot(his specialty) with a lb coming far wide to provide creative attacking chances(Luke Shaw🥹, prolly why i'm hooked on United buying Leif Davis). Altogether, I'd genuinely want to see what McKenna's Ipswich does in the PL next season then I'd swoop in to get him, cause i feel his tactics would transform United into a fluid goal scoring machine.

I rate De Zerbi higher than ETH in terms of tactics tbh. He has a proper structure of how his team should play and he implemented it fairly quickly. Even though Brighton hasn't been up to par in comparison with their previous season, I still appreciate the way they dominate games which is in stark contrast to United. My issue with the United team atm is we gotta get rid of so many players so hopefully we can sell some this transfer window which will be hard imo. There's lots of good managers who I think could help us win titles like Inzaghi and De Zerbi but United's issue isn't just with ETH. The whole club is riddled with so many issues that need to be fixed.

[@anggonbarua4139]

I don't think it will be a good idea to change ETH. He developed a team with his playing mentality. If another manager comes, he has to change the whole team structure again. Again, it will take one season to accustom a team with a new manager playing styles. So, ETH should give another season and give ETH 4/5 signing to see how he manage the team. It takes time for players to get accustomed to his system because some of his signings are bad and there are lots of injury issues. Under ETH many young players outshine in OT like Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund, and now Amad. He gives sustainability in the squad which is hard to see in other previous managers after Sir Alex.

Tactically, im not sure if de Zerbis system works at united. Against big clubs he would make utd very dangerous but i can imagine us dropping points too often against weaker teams in the league to ever win it. His system relies on opposition teams trying to press, but weaker teams will be more than happy to stay deep against a team like United. If i saw him have a plan B for when this arises during his time at Brighton then id say hes the perfect manager! Regarding ETH, i find it interesting that he chose to play less pragmatically this season as he did last year with UTD. He played a system on purpose that he knew wouldn't get the most out of our players. What I'm not sure of is why. The only saving grace (and it's not one i fully believe) is that he's changing the way the team plays in order to be better next year. A 1 step backward and 2 steps forward approach. I feel like the pragmatic approach that mourinho, ole and ETH in his first season took has a plateau and can't win the league and maybe ETH noticed this?

[@taiftarish9028]

Honestly I get ur point with Mckenna and De Zerbi being ideal coaches with clear plans and good attacking teams. However, I have never been convinced by Ipswich nor Brighton defence. Ipswich have conceded over 65 goals this season whilst Brighton has arguably the worst defence in transition in PL. We always focus on the managers with best build up patterns but never the managers with the most stable tactics. Im not saying we should go for a defence minded coach like Tuchel, but rather someone that focuses on their defending plays as much as their attacking patterns. Obviously De Zerbi and Mckenna have implemented a wonderful pressing structure respectively, but similarly their pressing structures are made for winning the ball as high as possible. Which can be good, but I think more effectively would be a pressing structure that wins the ball as much as possible. Someone like Nagielsmann has perfected this which would be my number 1 choice but if not available I would stick with Ten Hag as he is the best of the bunch left out of the managers and really the players are more at fault than him as the players have gone through many managers being sacked and blamed whilst the players never get blamed.

You have a willingness to argue for points dispassionately and with conviction rather than rely on conformity, which is very commendable. Your point about Abramovich's frequent sacking of managers and United's tendency to keep them for too long is one that I hadn't heard before, but it's not easy to argue against. Out of curiosity, what do you make of that Tifo Football video 'Has Roman Abramovich actually held Chelsea back?' I'm guessing your perspective would be that United should have a "procedural approach to success," but that that approach should be dependent on the vision of a Director of Football as opposed to being wedded to an unsuccessful manager for too long a period of time.

Ideally a Man United Head Coach should have a strong tactical setup, excellent man management, strong personality, and a proven success record at the highest level.

Onana is on ETH but who could have predicted that he would fall of a cliff with Rashford. Luke Shaw and Martinez injury is a key factor, and Casemiro’s age caught up with him.

dont get me wrong, i also dont like our playstyle this season, but remember last season we forced luke shaw on CB just to make us able to play high line. for this season its impossible, we dont even have CB, also Casemiro was underperformed, our atker didnt score, and also we forced to play McTomminay just because he can score. i agree De Zerbi might have more "tactical" gameplay, but i dont think he can switch United player overnight, because like you said, De Zerbi lost McAlister, Caicedo and Sanchez. but its not that different when you see Rashford, Casemiro, Shaw and Martinez performance and injury this season.

[@kaiwistoski9858]

i think Ten Hag should go. i don’t know if De Zirby is the right guy or not i don’t think we as fans have enough information to know that

[@ideozublake8036]

please make a video about amorim

[@k1llsk]

The reason i simply wouldnt take McKenna at this time is simply coz i would wait to see what he does next season, in a continuous period where we have zero stability taking a risk like this isnt the best decison. My no.1 target would be Amiron or Nagelsman. either would do. Also i would sack Ten Hag immediately after the FA Cup jus like they did wit LVG. Eth has don considerably worse than LVG's last season

[@ukn622]

If we're getting De Zerbi it has to be now cause Chelsea have sacked poch and considering Boehly loving everything about Brighton we all know who his top target is.

[@AtlantisFootball]

Yep just saw that. Didn’t think they’d sack him. Surely they’ll try get de Zerbi

[@PoisonDwarf28]

I think it's nailed on now for de zerbi to Chelsea

[@RandomVideosFirst]

McKenna for me , plus knows the United structure and executive

[@AtlantisFootball]

But it’s a different structure now

[@matejrybus3923]

I change my mind, I thought we should keep Ten Hag. Because United and its fan love mediocrity maybe we get relegation battle after splashing 600m next szn

[@mrspiceofficial]

We want Ten Hag

[@AtlantisFootball]

No we don’t

[@MingZai]

YES Bro!

[@bryngefferies7530]

We would have been better off keeping Ole there our preferred choice & put Reckless Ralf upstairs as DOF & encouraged Ole to improve his Management team by bringing in his 3 wise Men that would encourage the players & staff to improve on their focus, performance, consistency & achieve more. Instead Man Utd chose the 'Joker' Eric Ten Hag cos of the 5min fans (anyone under 30) & flip-flop fan Base! The Only Outsider we're prepare to accept is Zidane. Keep it in the family!

[@lewiswanyoike9757]

I low key think ten hag is sacked after the FA cup final, the utd announce De Zerbi!

[@Homoud0072]

Man utd trying so hard to transfer themselves to a mid table club. Good job your on the right track

[@AtlantisFootball]

What do you mean?
