United absolutely should have been signing Alex Scott and Baleba last summer. Santos will be great and Tielemans will fill the Bruno gap once he leaves as a third midfielder, but we still don’t have any legs in the team. This guy was perfect.
Chelsea increasingly confident of signing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in January. Scott is Chelsea’s top target after Enzo Fernandez’s left for Manchester City on deadline day over the summer. Bournemouth want £100m+ and Xabi Alonso’s side are already in fresh talks having made multiple bids over the summer. Liverpool also hold an interest in Scott, but have less urgency to add a midfielder in January. Monaco's Lamine Camara, who Chelsea failed to sign on deadline day, and Roma's Manu Kone are two other targets.🍒 🤝 @alex_crook

So have I bro. I post them on Twitter and it’s just variations of ‘we’re cooked!’.
🚨 JUST IN: Eddie Howe has been watching Manchester United matches and making NOTES. #MUFC [@samuelluckhurst, @katwalshy1]

Nagelsmann or Conte confirmed then.
🚨 JUST IN: Manchester United would have to pay compensation to Newcastle should they appoint Eddie Howe. It is expected that a “SIGNIFICANT payout” would be due given that Howe had a number of years left to run on his contract at Newcastle. #MUFC [@lee_ryder]

The reason I want Conte at Manchester United is the same reason Real Madrid appointed Mourinho. Madrid knew they needed someone ruthless to restore standards, discipline, and a winning mentality before anything tactical could work. That's exactly where United are right now.

Of available options for #mufc, Conte is most logical but no direct approach and suspect club aren’t brave enough to go for him. If Eddie Howe was still at Newcastle, United would not be in for him. Shouldn’t be considered just because he’s available. Ditto Nagelsmann.

Conte and an experienced DOF would be my choice. Club needs a rude awakening.

I think Eddie Howe would be the first Man Utd managerial appointment to arrive with absolutely zero credit in the bank.

Are they honestly looking at Bruno to provide an assist for the new manager appointment? Grow some spuds.
🚨 NEW: Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox and Bruno Fernandes are all at Carrington. #MUFC [@samuelluckhurst]

I don’t think Conte is the right manager for Man Utd, but he is uncompromising in his methods and I don’t trust the higher ups to bring the standards… I think he’s the only dude who comes in and salvages the season, having already done this once at Spurs.

If you needed any proof that these are the same players that just got a manager sacked, then there you go. ETH became a problem for various reasons and had to go. But so much is on the players and it’s largely mental. Lost the game in moments today through three soft goals.

Turns out the smell was indeed coming from INEOS. Wilcox needs to go too, this was his decision and to not replace Amorim’s back room staff properly, to allow fitness and professional standards to slip between manager changes… that’s a club failure.
Hiring a system manager. Not properly backing a system manager. And then firing the system manager for not altering their system enough reeks of incompetence.

This first 20mins is how teams play when the manager is a few weeks away from getting sacked.
Spurs actually looked stronger and quicker than Man Utd across the pitch right now. Not looking good brev.

This was truly manifested by the collective misery of the English.
It’s raining everywhere in the UK right now, thanks to Storm #Boelo ☔️

This man is twerking for the role. Let’s go.
Antonio Conte [linked with #mufc] has released a statement:

I beg someone pushes the red button.
🚨 NEW: People with knowledge of Antonio Conte’s outlook say he is interested in taking charge of Manchester United but would want reassurances about his AUTHORITY before agreeing. Several people close to United would be STUNNED if they went down the Conte route, given his hardline style and potential for more combustible episodes between the directors’ box and the dugout. #MUFC [@lauriewhitwell]

I’m seeing Man Utd fans romanticise Ed Woodward on the timeline… we’re actually in the mud.

🚨 JUST IN: Antonio Conte has told Manchester United he wants the head coach job, but there is a feeling within Old Trafford that his personality may be too FIERY and he could ask for a salary well over £10m, which would be prohibitive. #MUFC [@hirstclass]
