OK guys so I'm going to try and keep this post with a positive forwards view point of United.
We all know United are not in a good place at the moment. In my opinion they look like they are about as far away from being contenders as they have at any point since Fergie retired. That may be some recency bias there but they do look so far off.
So what needs to change? I mean within the realms of possibility at this point. The Glazers aren't going to sell any time soon so a change in ownership probably isn't realistic.
To me there needs to be a cultural reboot. Sure that's been said many times but this time it actually needs to happen and it can now happen. Ole cleared out some of the dross and now there's a real chance of the team to clear out some more. This summer guys like Pogba, Matic, Martial and Lingard likely move on. They need to start bringing through some youth as squad players and they need to sign wisely.
Who should be the next manager? I think it needs to be Ten Haag. I think he's the only one who can rebuild United using a mixture of youth and good long term signings.
They've brought in Rangnick to bring about this pressing style so they need to commit to that. That's what most of the top teams are doing and to go away from that after just 6 months would be a mistake. They have a chance to really have a cultural reboot and I think that's what they need to do.
