    And thinking literally any coach outside of Pep or Klopp would walk to Old Trafford for the job not understanding how much of a * the whole club is.

    Genuinly think Rodgers would transform that team. Spend big on a couple midfielders and a striker and he would have them competing close to the top. They'd never do it though they always want rhe fancy big name that'll end up *.

    Rodgers is barely hanging onto his job at Leicester.

    Hes not a long term manager but they'd have 2 years of great success before he has his 3rd season.

    They need a total rebuild.

    Rodgers is the last manager I’d be wanting in charge of signing a whole new team basically.

    He would turn that team around. Then get a big fat 6 year extension end of his 2nd so he gets his big pay off in the 3rd :56:

    Yep. Needs a massive overhaul.

    Looking at their squad, there's genuinely not many you'd want to keep and build around. Sancho, De Gea, Fernandes (albeit I think he's overrated) and maybe Dalot at a push.

    Honestly think they could get rid of anyone outside of those players and not miss them. Their squad is an utter shambles.

    Fernandes would be one of the first I moved on..

    One of most greeting faced whinging * I've ever seen..

    They don't have any good right back's
    Their captain and centre half is gash
    Their centre mids are nowhere near good enough

    If they had sense they'd gut Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Matic, Fernandes, Fred, Ronaldo, Rashford, Greenwood, Lingard, Pogba, Martial, Mata, Van De Beek..

    Go for player's like Lautaro Martinez. Even smart signings like Moussa Diaby as squad player's. Loads out there..

    Even taking out the obvious ones like Maguire and Wan Bissaka.

    No team is winning anything in the modern game with a keeper who can’t collect crosses or pass a ball or a midfielder who gives the ball away about 80% of the time he gets it.

    It’s genuinely at the point where you’d be quicker naming the players you’d keep at United than who you’d sell.

    The squad is not set up for modern top level football. It being absolutely toxic is just another issue.

    He's really cumbersome on the ball, looks like he's never played football before sometimes. Fair play to the boy in all honesty, he's done well.

    I'm a SL Benfica supporter and have no problem saying that for Jota it's best to stay at Celtic.

    But he has the talent to be important here in SL Benfica also of course

    Rodgers main attributes were getting the best out of players already there, his signings apart from the first 2 were atrocious commper, benyu, de vries, jak Henry, Gamboa, Lewis Morgan kouassi to name but a few, wouldn’t trust the * with any signings, everyone raves about him can’t fault his record or who he was up against but imagine him coming into the * ange came into and having to sign a whole new team and signing they cuntz, getting the best out of any of they man United players is beyond anyone now and I wouldn’t let the guy near the cheque book
