@ Sugoi, of those names mentioned not sure why any of them apart from Van Gaal would want to head over to Utd, most are in favourable positions with their clubs, have won or are challenging for the league title, are in a champions league spot for next season and/or are still in it this season, and have an emotional/historical attachment to the club they are managing..
Apart from the money and the lure of playing in football mad britain, why leave a good thing to take over a not so sure thing, where the manager who was given a six year deal has been booted 5 games before the end of the season. If as it has been mooted before this is a rebuilding job, how much patience and job security will there be if they fall short of the champions league next season?
Also heard mention of Ancelotti being in the mix, which would be intriguing...
And would Utd go for ex Liverpool manager Benitez to turn things around? If this came to pass it would be great to see Rafa and Mourinho going at it again, especially as Rafa would have the money (supposedly) to get into bidding wars with Jose over players...
