So I think from United's perspective,
First of all, it'd be less expensive than the coaches that talk about it in terms of Pochettino, Tuchel, Ancelotti.
He's also popular.
Happy to slot into a system.
Yeah.
Tuchel, maybe not.
But it all boils down to success.
Now, at the minute, success is great.
Toons out of Toons.
The style of football is Man United's style of football.
You know, attacking substitutions, as Garen Evel said, risking defeat to win.
And I think he's done that, certainly in the Arsenal game.
So, from United's perspective...
They have to go into the summer, and we know this after what happened during the Euros, when Gareth Southgate was being mentioned a lot about the United job, they couldn't decide until the Euros were finished, and that was mid-July.
On this occasion, the World Cup was mid-July.
So even if, let's say, Thomas Tuchel was approached and he accepted it, he may not start pre-season until mid-July.
He wouldn't be involved in any recruitment.
No, so somebody told me that players, when you're signing players, they want to know who they're playing for.
So United will be looking now... They want to speak to the manager when he stays on.
Yeah, exactly.
