United are doing fine, the second richest club in the world closely behind Madrid and well ahead of Barca. Long may it continue! It may sound bold, but they will make top 6 next year, mark my words!

I'll hold off until markmywords, marks your words.

McKenna would be the only decent appointment there long-term.

Why not get all of them? And then make a TV show out of what happens?

Make it an Apprentice style competition to get the job with Sir Jim’ll Brexit in the Alan Sugar role.

I’d watch that. It would be hilarious.

Guardian reporting Ten Hag to be sacked

Manchester United decide to sack Erik ten Hag regardless of Cup final outcome

Manchester United have decided to sack Erik ten Hag after the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Ten Hag, who joined the club two years ago, is set to depart after enduring a fraught campaign. United finished eighth in the Premier League, their lowest league finish since 1990, and their hopes of qualifying for Europe rest on them beating City at Wembley on Saturday.

A well-placed source said that even winning the Cup would not save Ten Hag. The decision to change manager will be the most significant move made by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his allies since Ineos took a minority stake and control of football operations.

United have identified Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Graham Potter and Thomas Frank as potential replacements. Ten Hag won the League Cup and finished third last season but he has been unable to build on his early work and many of his signings have not worked out.

United declined to comment after being approached by the Guardian.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Are they at least giving him the FA Cup final?

Are they at least giving him the FA Cup final?

Yeah, but gone afterwards, regardless of outcome.

[clinical]

They are a mess.

[DelTrotter]

One of the worst managers in the history of the league, it's a shame but judging by their shortlist we'll have plenty of laughs with the next guy too.

Sums up how horrific a club they are doing all this a day or two before a cup final though. Horrid club.

[Kopenhagen]

Tuchel the frontrunner.

Sir Jim and Tuchel will have everyone associated with their club hating their very existence next season.

Farewell sweet Prince

Rooney is talking a good game, surely time to give him a chance to show what he gleaned from his time at Derby?

They've got form for it. Didn't they sack Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal the day after he won them the FA cup? Classless club.

They did. One of their only managers I ever really liked too. He was a laugh. And he clipped Giggseh which helps

[Ray K]

Goodnight sweet prince. Don't cry that it's over, smile that it happened at all.

[PaulF]

Goodnight sweet prince. Don't cry that it's over, smile that it happened at all.

I suspect he will be laughing all the way to the bank after managing to con them into employing him that long.

I wonder how it plays our for the motivation of the team. Will anyone show up for the training session today? Maybe fernadez doesn't show up match day as he knows he will be humiliated.

He would be well within his rights to turn up to the final in a tracksuit with a six pack of Dutch Gold and spend the entire game drinking and shouting abuse at the execs box.

[Nick110581]

Weird timing.

Might as well put Sir Jim in charge.

Tapping up all those people to run recruitment just to hire a manager who will complain when they don't sign whatever premier League player he's become obsessed with

[Kopenhagen]

"Sir Jim" and Ineos just continue to look like fools - every second day there's a joke story about the club and those actively leaking info against them - and their fans cried like babies for them take over, after they cried and screamed for Ten Hag as manager - the only option, they said - whom they're unceremoniously booting out now.

Dumbest fanbase in football.

McKenna would make sense as a project, if it's to be him.

Tuchel doesn't make sense at all - they don't have the players to compete right now and he'll want to run the recruitment and cry like a baby when he doesn't get his way. You might as well hire Mourinho again - he'd be cheaper to sack.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Granted this was always likely to happen. But why have it put out there the day before a cup final?  Shows how little faith they have in a one-off match. No matter what you think about him, it really is classless stuff.

Eras come to an end.

You see classless, I see hilarious

Interesting that there's so many leaks coming out from "Sir Jim" and Ineos.

Probably some insiders at the club that want to make a mockery of them. There's no reason for them to leak it themselves.

[Samie]

Seven Hag should do something funny and quit today. 

[amir87]

Ten Hag should get the last laugh and play with no goalkeeper tomorrow.

Pretty sure he is already by playing Onana

[Ray K]

I've heard they've come to an agreement with the new guy to take over. Free agent so no buyout needed

Nah, phone in sick so they still have to pay him off

[Crosby Nick]

[disgraced cake]

Heard he wanted to take all coaching duties from home

Unlucky Erik, 7-0 

[Bennett]

Tuchel is the exact opposite of a long-term strategy appointment.

[Paul JH]

Imagine coming into that shit show and thinking you basically have to get rid of half the squad as they are that shit.

[zamagiure]

Eras come to an end.

Surely you mean errors.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Talk about a motivational tool. Sir Jim seems very much like an all stick, no carrot guy.

[Peabee]

Weird timing.

No doubt Sir Jim'll Brexit has done this to show everyone he's oh so ruthless.
