Interesting the comments about the backroom staff and the issues. Who do we think is the one to turn us down? One of Phelan or Meulensteen I'd guess.

I reckon Meulensteen myself but that’s just a guess. Will be interesting to see who he brings along with him

Hope Leo can finish his little stint with 2 wins.

To be fair given the choice I'd rather have Phelan than Meulensteen

Yep both would be good but even it’s just 1 someone with that level of experience will be massive.

Just got my tickets for Preston, bring it on!

The question is will he be wearing finely cut suits and jackets or will he be a tracksuit man?

Suits I reckon

Needs shorts and a pair of Adidas Copa Mundial. In all weathers.

He should see if there’s any Errea tracksuits from 1998 in the store cupboard at the club shop

Does it just say one?

More chance of that than him picking up any gear from the shop!

Yeah. " One member of the 41-year-old's initially intended backroom team ultimately decided against the move to Teesside for family reasons, thus delaying the process as a replacement was found."

So he'll manage 5 games before the world cup break. Don't think we'll be able to really judge him for a while. We just have to try to get as many points as possible and get into that month off ASAP so we can have what is effectively going to be like another pre season. Probably have a couple of friendlies to keep the fitness up? Could be good for us, allow us to properly reset and let Carrick use the time away from league fixtures to imprint his philosophy onto the squad of players who haven't travelled away with their respective national teams. Then we come back early December at home to Luton, with England hopefully still in Qatar though I seriously doubt it, and fingers crossed we hit the ground running over Xmas and bring a few talented loan players in from United's academy

I”m guessing that was Rene Meulensteen? Assuming he’s living in Australia atm

It would have been brilliant if he'd actually dressed like this for the games.

Brings himself on 2nd half and when the ref challenges him he responds "Well I'm the player/manager".

These days that's not the only choice for a manager, he could well plump for:-

1) Thom Browne cardigan like Scott Parker
2) Stone Island puffa like Pep
3) Zip up jumper ala Gerrard
4) Pleather jacket and stonewashed jeans ala Gareth Ainsworth
