Honestly first thing I would do is releasing overpriced players like Antony.

    Firstly, sign a few solid players who give 100% effort even when it’s not going well, and give you 7/10 performances every week, even if they almost never have 10/10 quality matches.

    That’s the reason that when it rains it pours for United in the last few seasons. In the first half of the 7-0 against Liverpool, United were completely in the game, and unlucky to be behind at all. After the second goal went in, they threw in the towel.

    Secondly, break the bank to sign a proven goal machine. Mbappe is very unlikely to happen without UCL football, which is going to be a big ask of United with Liverpool, City and Arsenal all looking nailed on already for top four.

    I’d make Victor Osimhen the marquee signing. He really looks like the complete package, and since he doesn’t have Mbappe’s CV, he might be a bit more realistic if United fail to make the top four.

    The bones of a good team are in there (Liverpool fan).

    1. Get the unused players either out the door or on-loan.
    2. Look for some new forwards and fullbacks.
    3. Switch to playing long ball.
    4. Look at getting rid of Antony, Martial, Sancho and Lindelof. I’d personally like to replace them with Malen, Kvaratshkelia, Goncalves and Simakan but as long as it’s workable, doesn’t matter who exactly.
    5. Utilise the youth players more. Pellistri started against Bayern and actually played well against Davies and Bayern. I didn’t see him play anymore first team games despite this. The issues could be helped by using these players more, maybe just to relieve players who are constantly starting.

    First of all, this isn’t Fifa, EA FC or FM. Releasing a player on massive wages because you don’t like him spinning is moronic. Breaking contract would mean a massive payout for that player. No, instead policies need to be put in place to make sure that the club don’t throw money at players that frankly don’t fit the team and are far from good enough.

    Current players that aren’t good enough needs to be put up for sale or let their loan/contract run out. Examples are as follows: Harry Maguire, Johnny Evans, Reguilon, Donny, Antony and Sancho. The jury for me is still out on the likes of Martial, Amrabat, Casemiro, Scott and Onana. Cas and Martial I believe are starting to degrade, Amrabat and Scott could be good squad players and Onana could still grow into the player we saw last season in the Champions league.

    I won’t way in on ownership except that the Glazers need to go. Important thing now is that there will be new sporting management under Sir Jim. This means more qualified people will be in charge, making better and more well educated signings a more plausible future for United.

    We need to be better at developing young players, be that Højlund who is getting little to no service, the breakouts Kobbie and Alejandro or the other youngsters like Isak, Omari, Daniel, Diallo, Pellistr, Shoratire and many more. Erik ten Haag has done an ok job in that department.

    Lastly better signings or rather, smarter signings. I don’t want the club to become Brighton or Brentford, but actually putting some more research into potential players instead of looking at FM and saying: “Let’s go for the most prolific and most expensive young guy we can find”. Højlund was a good start, a little overpriced, but still a good deal. If we now could find a good cdm in anticipation of Casemiro’s degradation, a winger or two that doesn’t spend their off time abusing their spouses, one more strikers as Rashford isn’t a number nine and some damn centerbacks as I’m tired of getting anxious every time Licha or Varane holds their leg. Simakan, Scalvini, Todibo or someone like that. I like Evans and I appreciated Harry has really stepped up, but they can’t play a high line to save their lives.

    I love this club, but god damn does it drive me insane every other week.

    I would make an effort to have a good relationship with everyone. I would give a chance to any player to prove, both in training and on the pitch, if they are worthy. Fresh start with everybody, this includes Sancho, if he trains well and plays well he could reignite his career. No second chance for Greenwood though, I require a certain moral integrity. Players like Antony and Rashford might be staying on the bench for a while if they keep performing like they are. Bruno can remain captain but he needs to stop whining like a little schoolgirl for everything that happens on the pitch. If he can’t I’ll simply make the oldest player on the pitch captain until I find a suitable candidate.

    I would stop playing players out of their natural position. No more Bruno RW or other bullshit like that. I would address the injury crisis ASAP, there must be something wrong with their training regime that is causing too many injuries.

    Players who want to leave in January can do so only for a fair price. New players arriving will have their wage more dependent on caps, performances and other stats.

    I don’t think any manager even Pep or Klopp could sort this team over a period, perhaps for season or 2 and the problems will reappear. Issue is the morons responsible for the recruitment of players, the overpriced contracts offered to mediocre players and having a clear structural plan. Man City have installed World class people and look at their recruitment over the years. Even Kevin Phillips won’t be a loss to them and will be sold for a profit after 2 season of fk all playing time and they likely took that into account. Hopefully Ratcliffe sees this and makes a change as a fresh overhaul is required which is why a full takeover would have been the best thing but wasn’t to be.

      Nah, you won’t get paid out that way. At least hire people you can delegate to and if they sack you, sit back and watch the pay come in.

    It’s a job that I would not take. I’d get rid of half of the players in the club at least. The problem is the club is rotten from top to bottom. From management to the overpriced players.
