00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World for today. I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about Eric Ten Hard.
00:06Now, the Dutchman's just been sacked by Manchester United, and I mean literally just, within the last hour or so from the point we're filming.
00:12So we want to know if people think we should replace him, and whether they think it's a good idea to get rid of him in the first place.
00:17Well, my man's a City fan, so no. I'd rather, obviously, if he was still in charge at United.
00:23I've obviously got a lot of friends who are United fans, so most of them are pretty happy with the fact that he's been sacked.
00:31He's gone backwards, hasn't he? He's not like the 14th man in the league. Obviously, I'm not a massive, massive football fan, but to follow United, that's done for being a kid.
00:44Yeah, so something's got to change, hasn't it?
00:48Last season, they finished off very weakly. I think they only kept him because they won the FA Cup, but they can't just be looking at one result and keeping a manager based on that.
00:56God, I don't even know who's out there on the market, to be honest. Probably somebody... I don't even know who they would even go out and get.
01:06Pep Guardiola, that wouldn't be a bad one, would it?
01:08Maybe Xabi or Graham Potter. Better than Southgate.
01:11I think I've got a friend who really wants Ancelotti, but I think they'd struggle to price him away from Madrid.
01:17What's your man called? What's he called? Oh, he's got the English up there. He would have been an ideal winner.
01:23Right now, I've got no idea. They need to build back up to that, but they shouldn't just be expecting to have that. They should actually try and work together instead of just expecting.
01:34Ineos have got this idea that they want to have a brand of football that they want to play. Whether or not they're going to find somebody who can play that way in the current market, I don't know.
01:45Xabi has obviously got good football brains.
01:49Xabi doesn't look too bad, does he?
01:51Not bad at all. He's taking a little break after Barcelona. He's had a couple of months now.
01:56We need some attacking football, don't we? That's what we need.
