Have to say I don't really understand that move.Sounds like McLaren will be joining as part of his backroom staff.

Mclaridge has no experience of this league, 6-7 years ago he had an awful season with Newcastle. Take on Mata or something. At least it wouldn't add to the wage bill. Or at least get some recent more current. Van Persie, Rooney, there must be someone.
I have no problem with him coming along if that's what TH wants. But to me it's a stupid choice. He has no experience of this league as it is, has proven he's not that much of a coach, and to be honest just seems old and out of touch. His last coaching role was an absolute shower at QPR 3 years ago.
It makes me doubt TH
Agree, if i was ETH i would call Carrick back.I was arguing the point JSP said he was being brought in becasue of his prem experience
I'm saying he's not a great coach from back in the day let alone now. And he has no experience of the Pep/Klopp era
if that is the reason for bringing him in, it's an odd one, there are loads more people with experience of the league even if that is just as a player

What’s the fascination of having ‘one of the boys’ at the club at all times? Plus he was one of the main coaches of a failed regime.Agree, if i was ETH i would call Carrick back.
Carrick proved in is little time as head coach that he was not just a follower of Ole. He had us play decent football when we were free falling. I will not judge him so quickly. He deserve a chance to learn the proper way with a good coach like ETH.What’s the fascination of having ‘one of the boys’ at the club at all times?

Seems so much negativity already and he probably hasn’t even sat in his office yet!
There is a big difference between being a coach and a manager though. McLaren is a very good coach but did struggle at times as a manager. Saying that though, he did have some success with Middlesborough and Twente from what I can remember.That's fine, it's the person he chose that bothers me, not the reason.
They worked together for 1 season, roles reversed. It's not like they have some long standing partnership.
I think we should be doing better personally
And whilst that makes sense to have someone who knows the club and the league I'm not sure McLaren is that guy? He was only with United for a couple of years and he's not been in the PL for a long long time. So I'm not sure how connected he really is with either to be honest?I'd be guessing but he probably wants someone familiar with the club and the league within his staff and they've worked together previously.

It's not condenming anyone.
We should be appointing the best person we can get in every role in the club. And if he is the best we could get, it's a worry. His last job was 3 years ago in an awful period at QPR, and I know about it, my brother is QPR fan.
Lets not go overboard on posters here, saying they are saying things they are not, no one is saying Ten Hag is going to fail before he's even arrived at the club, and we all hope he does well. But it doesn't detract from how poor this appointment, if it happens, is.
You didn't give Ole that benefit with Cardiff, and lets not forget you had it for him since he started. So don't give it the holier than thou give the guy a chance nonsenseQPR were a car crash of a club long before McClaren arrived there and he couldn't sort them out many a manager has failed at that club.

"Maclaren" (idge), so we rule out QPR on that basis, is that the same for Derby, Twente spell 2, Forest, Wolfsburg, Newcastle, England.
Not sure why I'm getting grief for saying we should be getting better, It's not like i'm coming from left field, look at the guys record.
It's not taking the piss out of Mclaridge, if anything it highlights another inept board where the chairman introduces the coach to the media and doesn't know his name. I remember it clearly, it's a standing joke and I always call him that. It's taking the piss out of our senior management at the time if anything. Embarrassing really.
That aside, if TH wants him fair do's, it's up to him. Doesn't take away the point I wished/hoped we would be trying for better and I shoud be able put that point on a Man utd board without be made out to be some kind of traitor.
I'm not going to rate TH on his coaching appointments, I just want better, and I get the feeling from what we know about this group of players, they probably will be thinking the same. I have gone from a high of TH and the potential, to an underwhelming coaching appointment.
We'll see how it goes.
Seems to be a fair amount of negativity about his lack of height though. Conflicting reports but he’s around 5ft 10/11. Obviously it’s ideal if you’ve got some height but I guess guys like Puyol and Cannavaro managed to carve out glittering careers.Timber rumours are quite strong too
He is nothing like Memphis, he is more like Nani when he came here. Explosive and full of skills. For me, Antony is the best RW we can get. Hopefully for a reasonable price.He's one I've seen bits of looks a very exciting player but I'm still scared by Memphis and VDB anyone that comes from the Dutch league looks about half as good as they did there when they hit the prem.
I think there's pretty good relations between Utd and Ajax everything we've done seems to be pretty amicable and they're used to selling players so if we do want him I'm sure a deal could be reached.
To me the more important thing is he's clearly leaving a lasting impression on his players from his time at Ajax suggests to me the guy is a top coach who is improving his players.
