buy a print meaning inside a David own see David I'm just
gonna hand over to you please fill in the gaps is being fired
what else
do we need to know
yeah only gonna social is gone now from Manchester United it
was a decision that was taken on Saturday evening UK time we
rolled up round the clock so apologies if I've got bags
under my eyes
but they were talking this through
the end though it was night
only gonna sell shop pretty much knew when
his team was so thoroughly beaten at Watford yesterday
that he was going to be sacked
he as I understand it had
been warned that he needed to produce a performance and
overall results it will fit if he was gonna hang on to his job
they gave him the international break to see if he could
produce at ten around just off to it
but it wasn't the case not only was the performance terrible
but the result was really damaging as well and I've
spoken to people around the club who say that in the off
the mouth of that defeat he said his goodbyes to apply is
now those plans went entirely sure if that meant goodbye for
the night school goodbye for his tenure and it proved to be
for his tenure he went into Carrington United's training
ground
this morning we understand that he is actually still that
probably just putting the finishing touches to will the
termination agreements
and he will be gone
and it leaves at now Michael Carrick his
assistant to former Manchester United and England
in charge for the coming weeks and will come on in a little
bit to talk about what they might do off to
rings to an ended tomorrow to us right now a real roller
coaster fell only gonna sell shop many felt that he should
never have been given the job in the first place he was only
an interim in December twenty eighteen when he came in
and he didn't off to earn himself
the job on a permanent basis memorably that away win in
the champions league to Paris on your mom I think Manchester
United's board will courts on a tidal wave of euphoria because
initially they said they wanted to conduct a full and thorough
recruitment process they didn't they gave it to the club legend
and at times he rewarded them he's improved at premierleague
finish each season he's led them to I think for semi finals
of Cup competitions he got them to the Europa league final just
last season
but they lost that Sevilla row a match they really should have
won
by which point he was already on that permanent contracts he
then got another contract in July which was the ultimate
sign that United would building around him it took him into
twenty twenty four with the option of a further year his
assistant Mike Phelan got a new deal as well
the other assistants were in talks over new contracts
themselves and crucially date backed him in the transfer
market with the signings of Brett Favre run Jadon Sancho
and crucially Cristiano Ronaldo
but I don't know
how much strategy was behind those deals especially
Cristiano Ronaldo was it just a plaything for the owners
and that's where the scrutiny will come now the Glazer family
the hierarchy ed wood would not judge Richard Arnold
and others in that small sanctum
that is leading the biggest club in vero opinion in world
football they've fallen so far behind their own standards so
fall behind the rivals is that they want to be competing with
look at the manages
those clubs have appointed
and then look at Manchester United's only gonna social had
failed it caught if he'd managed moulder and he'd won no
trophies in his time at Manchester United they've not
won a trophy full stop since twenty seventeen
we spoke in an editorial meeting at NBC before
the season started and you guys said to me what needs to happen
probably gonna social this season I said he needs to win
trophies
if that wasn't in sight he was always going to be dismissed
it's not seen sites at the moment but could they salvage it
before the season ends
seven we're gonna talk a second about who may come and I will
also do that in a moment but you mention the Glazer family
in the structure of the hierarchy the sadness being
felt right now by %HESITATION my chest United fans
do you think that could turn to anger could we see more protests
in the coming weeks against the Glazer family
well the protests were is pretty much as high as they
could have been previously around the European super
league attempts
that Manchester United as we understand it were at
the forefront of the resentment from the Manchester United fan
base in the majority I would say towards the Glazer family
dates back to that takeover in two thousand and five which was
debt leveraged
and the ownership have taken dividends pretty much each year
from Manchester United without repaying the debts
so I don't think anything that the Glazer family do will ever
improve their standing with the fan base despite attempts
especially Joe Glaser since the collapse of that attempted
Superleague
has made with the fan base
is pretty much broken what they want to see
is a winning team
I don't think the protest necessarily will get much more
vociferous and I think Manchester United would put
the security in place to make sure that at least doesn't happen
much days
but the scrutiny is really on them now and especially Joe Glaser
who made no mistake about it is the man in charge here he
held the ultimate
decision making power in
in the cold to remove only gonna sell shop
ed wood wood is meant to be leaving he's their lieutenants
on the ground here that was announced in the spring he's
meant to be leaving at the end of the year we haven't heard
that for sure
and we haven't heard anything about his replacement who we
think will be richer Donald so it's a particularly delicate
time and the Manchester United fan base there investors will
not take much more of this mediocrity
yes that revenues have been increasing and Sir
if that's the case it's focused then they'll be satisfied
but I think it should really be the football
and when I speak to executives at fellow premier league clubs
that rivals they see a structure at Manchester United
that may have improved in the last couple of years
but it's not at the elite level of you Liverpool's Manchester
city's Chelsea Bayern Munich real Madrid Juventus is and so
on and that's the top table
the United want to be focusing on
so if we throw it over to candidates will hold who knows
they've gotta do in into %HESITATION and they said
they'll do an interim and I'm not sure that's the right idea
until the end of the season
but then comes the big decision next summer and it needs to be
a world class manager
do you think the like Zinedine Zidane Pochettino at all these
names have been thrown in that we want from that group of of
names David
well they've missed the boat on the likes of Antonio contact
who is taking over here AT talking but I don't think they
would have gone to him anyway Manchester United Thomas to who
and aposs
%HESITATION merits your porch Sir Elton if I said couldn't
say %HESITATION %HESITATION put you too you know but anyway
they've missed both of them in recent times impart to Tino I'm
told is really the operative
Manchester United di and that's when they will keep a watching
brief on we don't know how happy he is at Paris St Germain
could he be
costs out of that in the summer
and brought to old Trafford he is bringing his pet center man
team to the northwest
this coming week in the champions league I don't know
if they'll be able to talk to him on that occasion there were
others in world management dot every ten hog is doing a great
job I di accent we hearing sort of some room is developing
around Lewis and we K. who of course did so well with
Barcelona and is now the Spain manager
interim solutions Rebecca I just don't know what they plan
to do with that and I think it could end up just being Michael
Carrick until the end of the season but why save we're going
to go for an interim solution why not say with putting
Michael Carrick can charge
and will conduct a thorough recruitment process I think
they've
left themselves a bit of a hostage to fortune that
I'm not gain points towards a Manchester United that maybe
doesn't really knows its identity and its structure and
they'll be desperate to claw that back they may lean on
the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson once again
because they are
desperate to get back to the house in days of Ferguson
but one thing I think they need is a top to bottom rebuild
they need to start from scratch
identify the right candidates
I'm billed at every single level of the club
but the glazes and the powerful people below them
they need to relinquish some power to the person they appoint
until this point they have wanted to do that that's why
only gonna social was perfect because he didn't challenge
their authority something needs to change
and in the summer weather it says it down whether it's in
and re K. whether it's a Pochettino they need to back
them on
and that mom will need to bring Manchester United back to
the top of world football otherwise there will be trouble
incredible stuff is always from a permitting inside a David on
scene
