Lingaard is 26 but acts like he is 16 with his videos. The one he uploaded a few years ago when bus was attacked at West ham, looked idiotic. . An average player.

Players don't grow up though. They don't live in the real world facing the struggles and problems most people have.

Johnny Giles once said he went to England as a 16 year old, and retired 20 years later, still aged 16.

United will make Pochettino the no 1 target this summer, well thats what everyone seems to think. He's obviously very loyal to Spurs but he's left 2 jobs previously for bigger jobs and with financial difficulties Spurs have he might be tempted. There's no way he can win the league with the lack of financial backing he receives at Spurs.

If United can get Pochettino surely it would make sense to appoint a manager in the interim who would play a similar brand of football so that when the new manager comes in its not completely alien to them.

It'll cost something like £40m to compensate Spurs to get him, will the board sanction this? I'm not over the shock of them paying out Mourinhos contract yet. I wonder is a refusal to work with a director of football that's done for him rather than the bad results..

Pochettino will not go to United. He has more sense.

I know this is difficult for supporters to understand, but Manchester United 2019 is no guarantee of silverware, not even a guarantee of Chanpiosn League football.

Waving the cheque book around isn't going to work in the way it once did, because City and Chelsea will do likewise. He would have to spend half a billion pound experimenting with players just to get the solid foundations he put in place at Spurs 3 years ago.

He won't be paid better then where he is.

The weather is worse.

Travelling to Spain for business and Argentina for pleasure is less convenient.

His son is on Spurs books.

He has a chairman who trusts him at Spurs.

If you really think "brand Man United" is going to topple all that, then you're deluded.

The main reason why no "worldies" joined Man Utd this summer is because none were interested. Get used to it folks.

Man Utd are in a similar category to AC Milan- faded glory, managerial turmoil, no league win recently, got passed out by more organised clubs.

Hardly a combo to get the juices flowing at the theatre of dreams, is it!

No matter what the United job is still one of the plum jobs in world football. Any new manager will have resources well beyond what 99% of other teams could only dream off and they are inheriting some seriously talented players. Yes money needs spent in certain areas but in De Gea, Dalot, Pogba, martial, Rashford, Lingard etc there is the makings of a decent squad. If the new guy can't make that work then maybe he's not worth £10m per year or whatever he'll be offered. The fact José was allowed to put his arrogance and self interest ahead of the club is a question the Board needs to address.

I still think if you let those players off the leash like they have done in certain matches, (usually when behind at half time) United will be much more at the races in 2019. I expect at least 1 big signing as well in January

A large part of the problem at United these days is big signings in January that have been a complete and undeniable failure.

They need to approach the problem differently. No one player or manager can fix United.

Most certainly not the biggest club in the world in a footballing sense, far from it.

Again, United have went away from what they have been, this mess has been coming for some time "biggest club in the world" because you sell 1 or 2 jerseys more than Real, who for example have won UCL on three straight seasons past and 4 of the last 5. I know what backs up the hype and what doesn't.

Not to be completely provocative, but take footballing history out of it - Manchester City are arguably a bigger club than Manchester United right now.

Writing the word fact after something does not make it a fact.

United have undoubtedly been on the highest echelon of football brands since the EPL began.

But the gap between them and the English pack (see the rest of the big 6) is dwindling fast, as United's only clear USP now is medium term history.
