"I've always been very proud of what this club is - adventurous, exciting football, playing young players and entertaining the crowd. They must take risks and have the courage to play attacking, aggressive football. United have got to a point where they need a manager who fits the DNA of the football club. Barcelona will never change for anybody. I don't believe United should change for anybody."
"They must take risks and have the courage to play attacking, aggressive football. United have got to a point where they need a manager who fits the DNA of the football club.

Observers noted a mismatch between the manager's tactical approach and the players' attributes, and labeled the vacancy an attractive role given the club's global stature.
