Chris Wilder

He has easily been the most successful English manager in recent years. Winning League Two with Northampton, and then League One with Sheffield United. This season itself The Blades are looking in imperious form as they have scored 12 goals, and sit in third place after the opening six fixtures.

Add old school tactics to the latest sports science, and that is the 50 year old Englishman for you in a nutshell. He can very much bring back the attacking verve while maintaining defensive solidity in the back-line. Incidentally, the only thing United have done over the past 5 years is defend, but still manage to fail in the most dismal of ways.

With experience of English football under his belt, and also some inside knowledge about some of the hidden talents in the lower leagues, Chris could very well end up being a relevation at United.

Tactically he is very flexible, as he varies the 3-5-2 formation with 3-4-3 and 4-2-3-1. He demands fluidity in play, and could very well act as the catalyst in waking up the sleeping giants.

Don't count out the Englishman just yet as he could prove to be a dark horse should United need a new man to take charge of the crumbling United empire.


These were my choices, and if you think that I should have added another manager, then leave a comment.
