I think people underestimate how big the expectation is playing here. Onana is no chump and he was playing a flipping CL final a few months back but even he seems to be struggling with it.
Tonight was a winnable game, we were on top before that mistake and unfortunately unlike the Bayern one this really did cost us the game.

There isn't. The only ones any good are out on loan. We have one fit fullback, we have no other choices.

They'd still be stupid to. Who is even available? There is nobody better out there available. We're in a rough patch but ETH is not the reason we lost tonight, we lost from dumb individual errors.

Zidane needs a job
The pressure must be incredible, the second anything negative happens, everyone goes crazy. Makes any sort of rebuild almost impossible, it seems.

He doesn't really seem interested in taking a job other than the France job

Yep, and it's not like we've not had adequate time to find one. Reiss plays RW naturally but he's a massive drop off.
I think Arteta has mismanaged him too, kid never gets a rest.

It doesn’t matter if a manager is available, you’re Man Utd. Managers in jobs will leave to join you.

Joking aside no manager good enough to make a difference would touch the Man Utd job.
There are just too many problems behind the scenes and any top tier manager would be worried of having their reputation shattered
Even if that were the case, who would it be? (I'm not wanting ETH gone at all, just curious more than anything.)

Who then? Name one name. Because unless Klopp or Pep are leaving I'm not seeing any options. I would have taken Nagelsmann but he's just taken the Germany job.
Positively - Rasmus started to look like the real deal. He deserved better. Nacho still offering more than Marcus.
Negatively - The whole defence was poor and we lost the plot when ten Hag changed it at half time. That numpty Hoddle was jizzing over Eriksen but our defensive midfield cover evaporated when he can on.
The constant concession straight after we score is massively concerning. It does suggest that Bruno is not an effective captain on the pitch as a good captain will help prevent that.
Ho, hum onto the next game!
