Brendan is definitely an upgrade to Ollie, heck lots of proper managers are an upgrade to Solskjaer bro.
But you are right to have concerns as to whether Brendan can actually put United back on top of the perch by winning the PLs and CLs.
Personally Iike Brendan and think he is a good coach but as a manager for a top club think he is a bottler when it comes to the crunch time as you correctly pointed out below, same goes for his inexperience in the CL.
Think you are also right to select Ten Hag, think he has proven he is a top manager by taking Ajax to the top level in Europe not once but twice and without the big bucks. Another one would be Nagelsman. On the home front I think Graham Potter looks interesting although he lacks experience at the very top level.
Ironically I think Fergie has been holding you guys back on the managerial front not intentionally mind you but still by his actions behind the scenes. First happened when you'll thought you would getting Pep only to find out that he was heading to Bayern instead. Later you'll missed out on Poch by sticking with Ollie.

Don't quite understand. His Leceister has twice collapsed in the later part of the season, when the race for top 4 got heated. His Liverpool let a lead slip at the last hurdle to let City win the title. He talked about getting Celtic to 3rd place in the group stage of CL and into Europa, like it was some huge achievement. His current team isn't doing all that well either, still 2 points behind us despite our crisis.
Not convinced he is an upgrade to Solskjaer.
Would love Hansi Flick or Luis Enrique, but both coaching their national teams and highly unlikely in the short term. So maybe Ralf Rangnick as interim. I will prefer Erik Ten Hag over Rodgers as well, though he has only a short CV. Heck, I will even prefer Kasper Hjulmand over Rodgers.
