Pochettino 16/1
Zidane 8/1

The 11/10 on Carrick is a joke seeing as United have said they'll be making an external appointment.

The market is a bit misleading though, any 'manager' has to complete 10 games in charge to be deemed aa 'permanent' manager.

Lets face it if he was going anywhere he would choose Real over Utd all day.

Plus funny how all these people that think Poch manages a team of legends and has never won anything all of a sudden want him to manage the 'best' teams in the world.

Take it as a compliment and move on, no point crying about something that may never happen IMO.

I',m more concerned about the boost they'll get from the interim manager in our upcoming match than him going there in the summer

Not concerned in the slightest. I really can’t see Poch leaving. He was offered the world by Real Madrid in the summer and still stayed loyal to us. He won’t go to United.
its not about money for him. I think he will go when he intuitively feels the time is right, which is more an emotional thing for Poch but largely when he believes he is no longer capable to taking us further (perhaps through lack of investment). Poch is quite an idealist romantic, and he might well be attracted to the chance to revitalise a fallen giant. Sorry, but i think its a real possibility, and the fact that they are waiting to summer for permanent appointment unsettles me

good lord - article already on Talksh*te website about 'how man utd will line up under Poch'.

absolute drivel. going to have to get used to this unless Poch comes out with something firm in his presser.

Levy wouldn't let Poch go. I doubt Poch would want that position anyway. Madrid will be a much less poisonous role, if and when he decides he's had enough of Spurs in a few years.

I imagine Pochettino would like to lead us in at least one full season at our new stadium. Part of him must be thinking he’s done all the hard work to get this far and there would always be a ‘what if’ if he were to leave us this summer - potentially another manager reaping the benefits of his good work. On the other hand he’ll be 99% sure that the Real Madrid job will be available again within the next two or three years, and perhaps the United job too. I don’t think he needs to go yet - other opportunities will come round.

Anyone who thinks that there is no chance of him going to UTD are being naive. I know he loves us, but end of the day UTD are the biggest club in the world. If he gets the financial backing from the hierarchy he could see this as a massive opportunity and will feel he has taken us as far as he can. If Levy doesn’t make a statement and give Poch what he wants I can see him going, and I couldn’t blame him. Sorry but I do feel a bit sick because UTD are obviously waiting until the end of the season before they try and poach him.

If the Utd board really want to stick it to Mourinho they could hire Wenger as Manager ;)

Being replaced by the "professional loser" would make that constant bad smell facial expression Mourinho has 10 times worse.:sick:

Unfortunately he has no say in the matter.

To a certain degree he does. He could make it much harder or much easier. As he has done in the past with interest for players and managers. Anyway, this forgets my main point, which was - I don't think Poch would see United as an attractive proposition in their current mess.
