I think United should consider an interim manager next. Just let everything calm down a bit.
Why not a former player? They would know the club inside out. It's got to be an advantage.
And if they do ok, why not give them the gig full time next summer?

Is that because they were truthfully reporting their financial situation? That’ll never catch on!
Villa had to do it because you were fined a total of €22.5 million (£19.4 million) by UEFA in June 2026 for breaching European financial sustainability and squad cost ratio (SCR) regulations, rather than committing illegal corruption.
Villa exceeded UEFA's squad-cost-to-income limit (which dropped from 80% to 70%), driven primarily by a high wage-to-revenue proportion and substantial agent fees.
Like other clubs under financial pressure, Villa sold assets—including their women's team—to help balance books under prior rules.Villa faces a List A squad registration restriction for European competition, meaning they must maintain a positive transfer balance (selling more than they spend on new registrations) to add new players
