Problem is other than Potter the vast majority of time the big English clubs are obsessed with looking abroad for their managers. United should be in for dyche. The job he did at Burnley and now Everton is brilliant. But he's not fashionable so will never get a look in.

[@andypandy4607]

@@Galloway8786 have they?

[@Photosoflife]

@Galloway8786 That’s not statistically correct. Chelsea have actually been much better since Potter left. People forget Chelsea not only had only 44 points last season but they won 10 points under Tuchel in the first 6 matches. Chelsea are already up to 54 points this season with 3 matches remaining. Chelsea have actually improved under Poch this season.

[@AJ-xv7oh]

He was exposed as a yes man at Chelsea. Noone wants that.

[@abelovedsonofGodinwhomHeis35-6]

Potter is not the man to get United back to the top, but he might the man needed to get them to the next stage to takes the steps needed to get ready for the manager that can get them back to the top, different managers have different skills and abilities, maybe the manager who would United back on top is not the one to get them positioned for that.

[@connixia1223]

Agreed. Throughout the majority of his career its been about his ability to build, improving players and taking clubs to different levels. He could be the man Utd need to build kind of similar to Poch at Chelsea. If he ends up being the guy that takes Utd back to the days of old then that would be a terrific feat but right now I don't think Utd are that much above him.

[@dorualex3092]

@@connixia1223 Poch is considered and imo i think is a top manager compared to Potter so u cant compare these 2

[@_SIRENITY_]

Complete recency bias. The amount of injuries has played a large part in such inconsistency amongst other issues, but to say next season United would be fighting for top 10 is ridiculous. They’re looking at next season, not this. They only fell out of the top 4 race a couple of weeks ago, and now next to no first team defence. It’s your comment thats laughable not his with such clouded judgement due to bias

[@Musician7831]

I think Potter is the perfect choice, but to make it successful, he would need to clear out the anti authority egos such as Rashford and Anthony. I would actually bring back Sancho and see if Potter can win him over. I think as long as they clear out players who have little respect for management you'd do well with potter. I think in Chelsea Potter had a thankless job with the ego's involved. In future he almost needs another club that is lower down on the ego scale. So maybe, maybe manu is not for him at the moment. I don't think it was his fault he failed at chelsea

[@jamielovesjayne]

Potter will surprise people. It didn't work out at Chelsea for obvious reasons, a completely bloated squad where some players had no locker, having to split the squad into two teams to train separately, no manager would have succeeded in those conditions at Chelsea. And arguably De Zerbi's success is on the back of Graham Potter's foundational work at Brighton. The fact that he's turning down teams like Ajax means he's very confident in his ability and I think will show it if given the chance over a few seasons. Liverpool would have been the better option as they would have given him time but United could definitely do worse than Potter but I fear he'll only have the job until an elite manager becomes available

[@connixia1223]

I actually think that he will also surprise people. He's waiting for either England or Utd hence why he keeps turning down other opportunities. He's definitely being lined up for something.

[@RefnRes]

I think with Potters career climb he has more resilience than most managers. The thing is that Man Utd is a poison chalice and following up Chelsea with Man Utd would be career suicide.

[@scottthompson405]

[@Ultramar565]

[@sratus]

Why? Nice guy but very dull.

[@kevinkyte559]

United need to forget about the best managers at the moment. They need a manager that can work with certain type of players so they can achieve 3rd to 5th place and set foundations. Then they can go get an elite manager when they get better players to add on to the 3rd-5th placed team, only then will they achieve consistency to challenge at the top.

[@biggy3rd]

Brilliant point. That is why when people talk about Zidane and Ancelotti, I shake my head. These guys are not known for building teams from scratch like say Pep or Klopp. We need someone who can do what Poch did at Spurs, then know when to make the switch to a Zidane or Ancelotti. That was what Spurs got wrong. Not knowing when to let Poch go and get a manager like Ancelotti to take them to the finish line. As harsh as it may feel to do that to Poch at the time, they should have done it.

[@bernardfox9078]

Potter has worked well with Ashworth. Sounds like a good bet for Utd Poisoned chalice working with Boely at Chelsea. Crazy amount of new players brought in. No chance for Potter to asimilate all of them in the time he had. I really don't think he failed.

[@Jericho642]

The safest thing for the club to do right now is to give Ten Hag another season. Any move right now is full of risk; they cant afford to get another manager wrong. Back ETH over the summer, clear out the deadwood (finally) and head in to next season with everyone ont he same page. If next season doesnt work out, his contract is up and it’s time for someone new. Way too risky to sack him and to take a much bigger gamble with people like Potter, Southgate, or even Tuchel IMO

[@Boxinghotspur57]

Yeah back the manager some more. He’s bought a cb that can’t ride the nemesis inferno. A keeper that can’t catch a ball and a winger who can’t beat a man.

I think managing a club as big as United isn't really a good barometer. Their are a few managers that jumped into the deep end and swam. The issue with Potter is that he has had a chance at a very big club, and it didn't work for him.

Potter would be eaten alive by United’s squad. They’d need to sell 80% of the players and bring youth in from the academy and elsewhere, accepting mid table for 3 or 4 years for his management style to eventually work and have them challenging. And no big traditional big club will ever give that to him. He’d be ideal for Ajax and their system based approach and he’s off his head turning them down.
