Alan Pardew has urged Manchester United to consider a move for Mark Robins as their new head coach.

One of the most gifted coaches in the EFL, the Coventry City manager is expected to soon be managing in the Premier League.

After taking over the Sky Blues for a second time in 2017,

Robins guided the team to both League One and League Two promotion, along with an EFL Trophy victory.

After losing to Luton on penalties in the previous season’s play-off final at Wembley,

Coventry was likewise mere minutes away from participating in the Premier League.

This season, Robins’ team gained notoriety for making it to the FA Cup semifinals,

where they came dangerously close to pulling off the ultimate comeback against Manchester United by winning the game on penalties despite trailing 3-0.

After graduating from the Red Devils’ development program and leading the team to victories in the FA Cup,

European Cup Winner’s Cup, and European Super Cup, Robins has a wealth of knowledge about the team.

These combined experiences are what made former Newcastle and West Ham manager Pardew recommend him as a prospective contender for the position.

Pardew told The Final Word in response to a Man United supporter named Adam’s opinions over Erik ten Hag’s role: “I’ve got a gaffer for you, Adam. Are you prepared?

“He’s not an international player, nor has he won the French or Dutch leagues, but he’s one of your former players.

“Mark Robins, there you go. He’s done brilliantly for four seasons, and he nearly beat you in the semi-final.”

Bring him inside. I assure you that he will do a job for you.

“A former player who was familiar with the team before joining it.” He completed his apprenticeship before going there;

he is duty-bound, has completed his studies, and is aware of the levels.

“I’m just stating that I’m not his agent.”

Responding to Pardew, Adam the Man United fan responded:

“I saw the way they played last week and they had something that we’ve been missing at United.

In the boxing world, they’d say they bite on the gumshield and have a no-die mentality,

but they had that grit, that bit between their teeth. It is what we require.

“Kieran McKenna at Ipswich too, why can’t we just go out there and give one of these young managers a chance.”

Pardew responded, saying, “Hopefully this week Kieran and Ipswich will get promoted.”

“They have a great opportunity if they win this crucial midweek match, but if they do,

he’ll end up in the Premier League and won’t be leaving Ipswich.”

“A few clubs will be in line for him if they don’t make it.”
