Manchester United must stop experimenting and sign a coach that suits them – Gary Neville

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes succeeding Amorim at United would be an “attractive job” for any manager.

“It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and it always will be,” he told Sky Sports.

“Imagine you are the guy who gets it right. Sooner or later someone will get it right at United. The club is too big to fail constantly.”

But Neville believes it would be “smart” for the club to wait until the summer to appoint a permanent manager.

“I don’t think the coaching pool is full right now in terms of great talent,” he said.

“Look at Chelsea bringing in Liam Rosenior. This is not what Chelsea are used to or what they should expect, and this is no disrespect to Rosenior.

He added: “I’m not sure where United will go, but I think it’s smart to wait until the summer, when there may be more coaches available from other clubs and the World Cup situation.”

Rene Meulensteen, who spent six years as United’s first-team coach, urged the club to appoint a replacement who knows how to win in the Premier League.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “They don’t want to make another mistake and they quickly choose someone to try to fill the void with.”

“They need someone with a pedigree. Someone who understands the Premier League and has had success in the Premier League.

“Someone with a strong personality and charisma. Someone with a good vision of how to move United forward.”

Former United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich added: “It has to be about the club and the team doing well.

“Because right now, fans will be pulling their hair out because they want to know what’s going on and they deserve to know what’s going on. It’s a complete mess.”
