Pogba didn't take long removing his post there . . . safe to say he's happy enough!

What did it say? Wasn't quick enough to see it.

Someone like Laurent Blanc until the end of the season to steady the ship might work given that Zidane looks unlikely now at this stage. There is still a CL and FA cup to play for, top 4 is now very unlikely and whoever takes the job will not be under any major pressure as long as they play attacking football and give the fans a bit of excitement. Then go for Pocchetino in the summer

From what I can recall Blanc's teams aren't great to watch. As for Zidane don't want him anywhere near the club.

Why so?

I'm intrigued too....from someone who advocated for and tolerated that sc**bag Mourinho I'd love to know what's so offputting about Zidane.

Roy for caretaker

With that defence they can't just play better football, as they will be carved opened as Pogba is a lazy shite that will try his flicks and tricks, when it works its brilliant, when its doesnt come off he'll not track back and Utd don't have the cover to allow that to happen..

Let's not forget that United only became a shambles in defence this season and that is one of the main reasons why Jose is now sacked. Non stop playing Matic,Fellaini,Lukaku who weren't offering anything was a far bigger problem than Pogba.

Pogbas tweet was crass...

"Bit more on caretaker manager at United. Will be someone 'steeped in the traditions of the club'. Not Carrick, Butt, Neville G or P. Currently tying up loose ends with other interests which are not expected to present any issues. Announcement expected before weekend. #mufc"

Mike Keegan, be well enough connected

Sounds like Blanc will be that caretaker manager until the end of the season.

Lost today is the super result last night by the youths in the FA Youth Cup against Chelsea.

Pogba - what an asshole.

So United are appointing an interim caretaker manager before they appoint the proper caretaker manager before the appoint the new manager at the end of the year......

Brilliant.
So in effect they will have 4 'managers' in 12 months

It's the Christmas present José wanted.

A big f**k-off payout.

That's all he was interested in.

Its also why he wanted the Manchester United job for a long time, where else can you get so well paid while get such a big pay out if sacked? The club five years on are still paying the cost of not bringing in a like for like replacement for Ferguson straight away. The appointment of Moyes shook the foundations and it will take them another few years to fully recover from that.

I don't think Carrick taking charge of training for few days can be classed as managing and if the caretaker manager does well i can imagine he will be given the job full time.

Possibly but I get the impression from reading things about the interim manager that he will be an interim manager till the end of the season 'someone steeped in the United way'.  Giggsy it is!

Being listed on the stock exchange probably means they have to release bollix statements like that.
