The "young" managers should be like Xabi Alonso who gains more experiences from one team, and achieves success continuously, then thinks about the big clubs.

[@bwambalebakenganadan9663]

This kind of news making and reporting is one reason why England will never win a major trophy..... they like making headlines not titles.. Both Manchester City and Liverpool took time to build systems that prepared for their success... sky media makes sure that it foils every step Man Utd is trying to make towards rebuilding.... I can authoritatively say.... With this kind of environment, a Sir Alex's incarnate would fail....

[@BruvvaUK]

I thought Omar Berrada had not started working at the club yet as he was Gardening leave??

[@edittide9842]

The least Ineos could have done was to sack Ten Hag before speaking to the next manager. Are we to believe Ineos has told ETH alteady that the FA Cup final is his last game? In which case ETH’s last pre match press conference was very odd - at the very least a man in denial having been told he is to leave

Reporter: It's my understanding that .... Translation: I've just made this up off the top of my head.

[@samtaylor2631]

If he goes it will say a lot about his character and loyalty to a club that ultimately gave him the opportunity and the platform to be successful. If I was an Ipswich fan I’d be fuming, I think he owes them one season in the top flight and if he’s as good as they say surely he’d back himself to be successful and keep Ipswich up or give a good showing of themselves and prove himself so the opportunity would come round again.

The United job is different than the Ipswich job, but he's also different. Whatever you say, you can't argue that this guy won Ipswich back to back promotion, The Championship is way different from League 1, yet he adapted and took them to the premier league. That's not a fluke. The guy has serious SKILL

[@nabilahmadsiddiqui345]

The Premier League is a different kettle of fish to the Championship. For example, Kompany's Burnley earned the joint 4th highest points tally in the history of the Championship in 22/23 and he promptly got them relegated from the Premier League the next season.

[@777kiya]

@@nabilahmadsiddiqui345 But he also got the Burnley budget, which is 20 peas. Had he got the Man Utd budget, things may have been different

[@tadieghb3969]

If Fabrizio Romano has not said anything about it,I'll not believe the news

[@iyanuogunjobi1347]

The Timing of this is evil. They wait for Bayern to agree with Vincent and for ten hag press then release this

[@Timekeeper1200]

To go from managing in league 1 to managing Manchester United 12 months later would be mental. He does seem to have something about him though 🤔

[@msaninyozekachilaza4782]

If this is true, then united are a joke. Qualifing a championship team to the premier league cannot be compared to managing Ajax and reaching the semi final of the champion league.

[@thatswhatshesaid3126]

I can almost see the headlines in a year or two. "McKenna is out of his depth to manage a big club like United, he needs to go".

[@goaboy2294]

Why do they always hold talks at like 2am ? 😂

[@jonmacaldo4005]

Why does this leak with United and not when Poch get sacked? This is not fair to the current manager

[@Ashwini_Dhanraj]

McKenna is not yet ready to coach big 6 of PL

[@bryngefferies7530]

We want to be challenging for the league next season not delay tactics like Tuchel or Southgate or Potter or DeZerbi or McKenna or mismanaging EtH cos we'll be better off with Ole or Outsiders like Pochettino or Zidane than EtH cos he lacks people skills meaning wrong type of manager to take charge of our club. The best advice we're prepare to offer is EtH & his team should pack their bags & go back to Ajax or Bayern to reinvent himself! Keep it in the family!

[@charlesapana9935]

Why held talks when Erik Ten Hag is still in charge

[@gustaaf1892]

I'm surprised United would go for an inexperienced manager to replace ETH. McKenna is a United man, but I think they need someone with more experience. Given a choice of clubs McKenna would definitely pick United.

[@brookwakie3406]

I don't believe it like seriously

[@mikebullock76]

Although I think McKenna is a good coach, the club will need to replace every player with kids as the players here will not run for him. ❤

[@evanmurphey]

It’s sad because if they actually did this McKenna wouldn’t last through his first contract with how the club is currently and the players they have. It’d be the same thing as ETH so he may as well stay at this point

[@jasondixon8976]

They can’t think that highly of him mate, they let him go couple season ago!

[@HungryEatNow]

Now you know, what 1 man can do...

[@Captain_Mcdobber]

Oh thank god. I thought he was coming to chelsea 😮‍💨
