Sacking the manager to start all over again with yet another style of play with the same players is just crazy

Gary was not stating these when utd was coached by ole.

Gary is directly responsible for defending his mate Ole and keeping him in the job for so long, allowing his banter club to rot even more. Too funny.

I'm no United fan, but I'm sure it's not Ten Haag's fault that Rashford refuses to run back to help his team, and Bruno Fernandez is so busy complaining to his teammates and the ref that he goes missing every time things get tough. If he leaves them out and they lose, he gets slammed by the fans. Not to mention Martial is his backup striker and Maguire is his CB. I'm sure that's his fault too. You can't do anything with players who refuse to work hard and aren't interested in being humble. Plenty of ability, but wrong characters to want in a dressing room. United need to clear out that dressing room.

Yeah let’s sack the manager again and keep the same inconsistent players..

Sacking the manager at this stage will do absolutely nothing for us. We’re crippled with injuries at the moment and I can almost guarantee with Martinez, hojlund and shaw back our performances will begin to improve again. We really need to have a smart transfer window to avoid a repeat of this shambles next season

Also @SkySports when are you starting these daily shows on Eddie Howe and Poch ??? Or is it purely an agenda against Ten Hag ???

Great sack another manager and keep the same core players and expect change......when Ralf Rangnick gave free advice and said this club needs 10 new players..... Mourinho recently said some of the players that I wanted gone are still there doing the same things

And this mythical “way of playing” CANNOT BE IMPLEMENTED WITH HARRY MAGUIRE AND LINDELOF IN DEFENCE. When will people actually dig deeper into why we are so crap. It’s the WRONG PLAYERS.

Ole struggled to implement a clear style, Jose's team was always described as not a typical Jose team. Rangnik struggled to implement anything. At a certain point we need to point the finger at the players because it's been the same group. The same group pulled together by Ed Woodward, not fit for purpose, disjointed, and ultimately not good enough. Pull the thread and see where it gets you. I'm glad there's an overhaul above ten Hag now, he should be given time with the new structures, no matter who comes in now would struggle anyway so the first message that would be great would be that the players will not outlast the manager and be allowed to repeat this cycle. Then if we need a new manager we can have someone come into a club with an actual direction for once. Currently this team will bury any manager

Arteta and Klopp were allowed to finish outside the top four multiple times before mounting title challenges. Why isn’t ETH allowed to do she same? And how is he supposed to build a team with Sky pundits breathing down is neck all the time?

You cannot sack Ten Hag. Last year showed that we can compete for silverware if players are fit. This season has been a mess with injuries. If we buy well in the summer to have a proper squad I fully expect Ten Hag to succeed. And yes that means silverware and I think he will win big trophies for us. GGMU

Gary ‘at this moment in time’ Neville

As waves come and wind changes so does Gary Neville!!!

Its mates rates at United, when Ole was on Gary did mental olympics to not say he needed to go

The same man last week said United back to top four. 😊

So INEOS should be decisive the way Valencia was in sacking Gary Neville after 4 months in charge?

He needs another season under the new management

To ensure a strong comeback, Manchester United should prioritize acquiring the playmaker Florian Wirtz before any other club can swoop in with substantial offers. Subsequently, they can strategically assess the type of striker who can effectively complement as center-forward. that kid wirtz is the new KDB

Our problem is not having the back up for when players get injured. It's not ten hag. Ten hag has shown, whenever the team is fit, that Man U can do it. He has done wonders with what he's had to work with. To kick him out when things are about to change for the good is not the right move in my opinion.

We need to switch to 433 and not play 4231 anymore but it’s clear Bruno cannot play in central midfield in a 433 so time to drop him and play someone else along with Casemiro and Mainoo(not Mctominay, he can’t do it either). We were found out Saturday due to lazy forwards too.

Back on the manager merry-go-round we go. Obviously the problem isn’t the manager, it runs far deeper…

You can’t have a way if play of your backups have a completely different profile than the starters.

Ten Haag won 4 games this season in injury time . Sometimes it won’t work with lack of tools . Feel bad about wrong signings in defense

it's kind of ridiculous to appoint another new manager. Gary was spot on, we don't have a style, but funnily enough, a playing style is reliant on the ability of the players to play within that style or system. With the old players we still have and the amount of injuries we have on the players who can play that system, it's pretty obvious why things have been inconsistent. It's clear that Man U play excellent football when our true first 11 (which is mainly people Ten Hag has brought in) play together. There is more to come from Ten Hag, he just needs time and confidence.

Gary's great at telling people what they should be doing and has all the right answers yet when he was given the chance to put his knowledge into practice as a manager he made an absolute hash of it, which just proves he doesn't really know what hes talking about.

Don't blame TenHag - it's the players signed over the past 5 years that are the real issue .

Sack the manager and then have a team full of Ole, Mourinho and ETH players for the next manager and expect them to play their own style with all of them. Very smart. How can you play a style with none of the players you need. Trying to play a highline with buildup using players like Maguire and Lindelof 😂

A defeat and again we get a complete over reaction from every pundit and they never take into consideration the huge injuries we suffered all season ..

Carragher has even become “Norways expert commentator”. He’s brilliant

So you want to sack the manager now? How many injuries this season had????😢😢😢😢😢

i don't remember having as much injuries during the time of ole , ragnick .. but ever since this guy come in , we have 3to 4 first team players always injured , and latest stunt , apparently maguire , and varane are also a doubt along with fernandes ... thats something to think about

"Erik ten Hag is doing an unbelievable job there. He's still got a team that looks, on paper, well below what it needs to be. But he's extracted everything he needs from them." Gary Neville, January 2023.

Last 4 weeks, the same pundits were praising ETH and saying united are back to top 4. Now that they have lost against Fulham, they are over saying ETH out? Even Klopp at Liverpool struggled in the beginning. Look what he has built for that period.

Hopefully Rashford is the first out the door

I just don’t see how you fix it without severely gutting that squad. And then you have to ask, is ETH the guy you want to rebuild? His transfer record so far isn’t great, and his tactics/style of play is a mystery to me, people who watch Man Utd every week would know better than me

It can be difficult for people to adjust to changes in their lives, and sometimes they might forget important aspects of their past. It seems that Gary may have lost touch with his identity as a Manchester United player since transitioning to a career in media with Sky Sports. It can be challenging to navigate new roles and responsibilities, and I hope that Gary is able to find a sense of balance and purpose in his current position.

We’ve had our first 11 for about 3 games this year And unfortunately the problem is the backups are so bad we can’t implement anything with them

The primary concern lies with the lackadaisical demeanour of certain players. Ten Hag successfully led a squad of industrious individuals who fully embraced both his distinctive playing style and philosophical approach. Contrastingly, observe players such as Casemiro and Rashford casually navigating the field. Upon the conclusion of matches, some of them exhibit minimal signs of exertion, hardly breaking a sweat or showing any signs of breathlessness. In stark contrast, examine the Ajax players under Ten Hag's guidance, and the difference is unmistakable.

Look at how the youth teams are performing, if he's starting from the kids upwards it looks good to me

Why not take a look at Gary’s great managerial career?

I think it's wise to wait until May. I think his future should be measured and determined on the following: -- Champions League qualification (This is a goal from the beginning of the season).

Hearing him talk you’d swear Gary actually did well coaching Valencia.

No manager except for maybe LVG has been able to implement a style other than counter attacking. Ralf ragnick tried to use his style and he gave up after a few times and called for major changes. Unless utd get new players, many in the current group can't do it. I say keep ETH and find him better players

Erik Ten H is the right man for Manchester United believe me🙏🏼

If want Ten Hag to stay or go no matter what these players got to go before another manager or we will repeat the cycle

I think Gary should be the new manager, he seems to know it all

The problem isn’t the manager OR the players. It’s what’s going on with the owners, the board, recruitment etc. There’s no cohesion, which gave ETH a lot of problems when trying to sign players, resulting in last minute over spending. The manager can’t do their job properly until one hand knows what the other is doing. I’m hoping with Ratcliffe and hopefully Dan Ashworth coming over we might see some improvement.

100% behind Erik Ten Haag. Support the boss because we've seen glimpses of what he can achieve when injuries and bad players aren't a plague on his squad.

Utd fans are jokers 😂 Fans today are fickle. Last we had LFC fans calling for Klopp to get sacked, Arsenal fans calling for Arteta to get the boot - now look at the them. Cheers your team whether they’re winning or losing! Ex-Utd players criticised other managers for playing negative football, celebrated Ole’s incompetence and divide their own fan base! If you want an attacking manager you need patience to allow the manager to evolve and mould a team. I’m glad FSG gave Klopp time and didn’t try writing him off in a season where the team underperformed

Dan Ashworth should probably go and scout Michel from girona. He is an absolute gem of a manager. From gaining promotion and then fighting toe with toes with real madrid at the top is insane. Hopefully the data obtained by Dave Brailsford is the correct one.

We don’t have the same style of play because we dont have depth, when Martinez and shaw are injured our whole style of play is out the window, we don’t have the left side of our defence as malacia is out injured. With maguire we have to play deep whereas with Martinez we’re on the front foot. Doesn’t matter what manager you have, we’re screwed because of injuries and because we didn’t invest in January. Glazers out

That's what happens when you've got slow defenders playing a low block and a huge gap to the midfield that likes to push forward/half press. Either way, you're banging your head against a brick wall changing managers when you're using effectively the same squad over and over. There's a decent starting 11 when everyone is fit, but it only takes 2 injuries and it's the same old crap like the last 5 years. You have to clear out the squad before you bother putting a new manager in again.

EtH we trust. Like José said, Shaw, Lingard, Pogba, Rashford, Victot etc were all bad, we sacked him and he was right. Our defence is awful, we need three new hungry strong defenders. Varane with Martinez is solid but they are always injured. Shaw and Dalot hardly put any fear in anyone.

Imagine if Gary was a manager imagine how good he would be ……

The board need to get a more technical director of football, agree a style of play with the board and new CEO, and agree roadmap to get there. Only then judge the manager on his ability to stay on this agreed path. Right now the only long term strategy United have is CL qualification and compete for title, and nothing more granular than that. I hope they get Ashworth as between him and Brailsford there is enough sense to do this properly at last

I really dislike it when pundits -especially ex-footballers discuss the potential or possible sacking of a coach.

I’m ok with EtH being sacked if theres a manager out there who can turn Lindelof in to a dynamic, fast, forward facing left back, and Maguire in to a quick CB who has great range of passing and can defend from a high line. Until then, this is all nonsense.

If it was Gary's best friend Ole as manager, then Gary would be defending him all the way, although Ole never had any style of play whatsoever.

Omar from City, Ashworth from Newcastle, and next, Alonso from under the nose of Liverpool. Nice one Jim, nice one.

ETH has the best win rate of any permanent United manager, ever.

I feel that ETH needs for time and support. He did buy Antonio,and MM, not worked yet, but he was also stuck with HM, MR and a few others.

Gary changes like the weather

He’s won a trophy and got us to top 4 in his first season. He’s been crippled with injuries and these players are horrible. Keep the manager sack the players

Wouldn’t be surprised if there talking to Jose and seeing him as manager of Utd again

One loss in the last minute after a decent run and it’s a crisis!

Different manager, same problems. Sacking ETH wont change anything, ineos need to do there thing behind tje scenes and give ETH a chance under that structre, if it doesnt work out then fair enough part ways.

I don't think gary has considered that the Man utd hierarchy could've already made their decision to keep Ten Haag. In which case this would be a mute conversation.

and replace him with - only de zerbi makes sense - potter no thanks - Alonso maybe - otherwise help him out - buy people he needs and lose the time wasters.

I think Gary should describe very clearly how Pep and Klopp would set out this Utd team, with these players and these injuries. Personally, I don't think we would end up seeing different results from either of them.

United have been far too much in the habit of a manager gets 2 full years max to make an impact and if they don't pull up trees then they just get sacked. Ole and Jose did they best they could with what they had and how they were backed. Ole got the job based on short term form and lost it for the same reason. Jose did a bit better before that with trophies and finishing closer to city with points totals but you could see that they didn't back him with signing for the 3rd season and the motivation went. Unless in the summer they have a target in mind who will definitely build on what TenHag has tried to do and with the right signings to improve and become a Top 3 team with a chance of challenging for the title there is no point sacking ETH, he's basically had about 20 percent of the season where he's been able to have a proper match day squad to choose from and so many times just as it looks like changing someone gets injured and messed it up meaning players thrown in or a lesser result do to patchwork first 11. Same here with Shaw and Rasmus not being players that you can just replace and expect the same level of performance the next game. City, Arsenal and Pool have not had the same amount of injuries and changes at crucial times which is why they get results consistently in the top 3.

ETH doing a fairly good job considering the squad is of mid table quality. If he gets them into europe he should be knighted. I'm not even on the wind up here.

Why do people hate the Dutch? Honestly I feel like Ten Hag has done a reasonable job and keeped his optimism despite the results. We need to support him even in the tough times. He's my topper to the very end 💯!

Absolutely love Gazza, a calm guy, who tries too hard not to be biased; but sometimes he goes NUTS!

Even with the players back from injury i have not seen one ounce of style of play from ETH. Lets all be honest here utd fans we wanted ETH because of his style of play with Ajax. Not only has he gone against that but he got us playing worse than ole ball. This is his 2nd season so im not using injuries as a excuse as to why i can't see patterns of play a blueprint to what we want to achieve. Im pretty sure ive not seen one game under ETH where we dominated the game for a full 90min.

Eth literally has the highest win rate in utds history

Neville does anything to defend Rashford and deflect the focus from him.

This whole time he was backing the idea of keeping Ten Hag. Now he's shocked they're going to wait until May

MU's problems stem from defence where they have been decimated by injuries. Their recruitment going forward needs to focus on defenders.

Sack The Players first before you sack the manager

UNITED's problem is not the manager. It has been the players for a long long long long time. Finally people have ridden of Pogba, but the rest of the team is still there. Since 2018, 70% of the team is same. Same names, same players again and again and again. Before firing ETH, have a look at the deadwood. One day Rashford scores a brace and is compared to Salah, and then the people just bonkers like Best In The World. Come on! The most inconsistent in the world is Rashford at the highest level team.

In all fairness guys, Gary never said that United must fire ETH. He said that a decision must be made or has been made already. Decision to let go or to keep. Any which way, it's a decision. United could've already have made a decision by keeping ETH for next season, no matter the results.

Erik Ten Hag has proven he knows how to coach and win at other clubs, so obviously the coach is not the problem at MU. When they keep firing coaches every 2 years, it tells the players they don't have to listen to anybody in charge.

utd must play in 433 an mdc and two 8s we must do this I don't like when he plays with 2mdc and 10 it doesn't work

I think if United go out of the cup Weds and are trounced by City on Sunday, ETH will be gone by Monday afternoon.

Also a good comment below that Neville defended Ole who was a terrible manager, and wouldn't say he would, so it is favourism FC for Neville!

Its not the managers fault...i actually believe that its clearer than ever.....change the players not the manager

Gary wanting his mate pochetino in who’s doing really well 😂

Ten hag should stay ,,I still don't understand why he's getting scrutinized he's having to deal with injuries And that has been affecting our play

The manager had almost 2 seasons on the job while a lot of the players have been in the club for longer. But the manager is the problem?

Lets be real, finishing bottom of a CL group with Copenhagen and Galatasaray in it is a sackable offence. Insisting on buying Antony is a sackable offence. No style of play whatsoever in 2 seasons is a sackable offence. I think he should leave at the end of this season, along with at least 5 of the starting XI, and start fresh, with the new ownership and a manager that they want.

At this moment in time

INEOS have thinned the squad sending players out on loan ( Hannibal) (regulion ) back to spurs we have no LB now in place and pellestri has also gone on loan .

As The Beatles sang " money can't buy me love " ... for all those years that the Hierarchy at Old Trafford prioritised the commercial side of the club at the expense of the football, recruitment etc .. and look where they are now , ten years post Fergie . Shambles

Why does sky sports make these video titles so that viewers misinterpret things ? Pretty sure they know this much english that "what Neville actually said" vs "what the title says" is completely different.

There is no way he would say the same about Ole. And people praise him for being impartial! Different managers same players = same inconsistent United

I like EtH but he can’t get them to play as a team after 2 years. Yes the squad needs major surgery but I think a new manager with a different approach. De Zerbi for me.

and yet Gary didn't want to make the call on Ole, who was worst......such a great pundit he is....clear the players first then the manager

Bad times are needed before the good times have patience

How can we have a style of play when we have players that were brought by different managers with different styles of play. These players have survived through numerous of managers putting in poor performances/not good enough. The players in the summer needs to be cleared out and should buy players that fit the managers style. Pep and Klopp wouldn't win the league with Utd
