Most will probably chip in for his flight to Madrid, even get him first class.

For the life of me, I can’t quite work out why on earth Real would want him back, also be quite funny after his comments about Pep running away from the league due to him, to end up being in the same league and getting handled with ease. If he leaves and doesn’t get another club in this country even funnier.
Because he produces results when backed by the club and players do as he tells them (assuming they are capable); neither of which happened at United.

How is it zero context? Fans wanted a manager out, held banners stating that fact, yet that manager went on to become our most successful manager ever. Fans can't predict the future.

This board is filled with glory hunters and kids who don't have any experience of life outside of Manchester United winning titles. The rest of us have been around through the bad, through the thick and thin, and we support regardless. Some people on here really don't understand what support means.
Top red alert :lol:

How about I say that people like you are the reason why that shameless, self serving cnut is still at the club.

Every supporter of a big club is essentially a glory hunter and that includes you, mate. Don't delude yourself to the contrary.

Are you suggesting we stick with Mourinho, regardless of his frankly disgraceful performances as manager of our club over the past year, because that's what a top red does?

Personally, I blame the leader of the Top Red party, Gary Neville. We may have been rid of Jose by now if it wasn't for his sad little rant the night before the Newcastle game.

Ed should publicly humiliate him and then he may go. As for United fans not accepting this dire football, why should we? We did not accept this even when we were in the second division. We may not win but we always want good football.
It is this support the Manager at all costs is why we ended up here right now. SAF said support your manager and everyone did to a certain period but most did till Moyes was sacked when after a few months everyone knew he was out of his depth and we were going backwards.
Most backed Jose till the first few months of this season but now most realise that this is a death trap and we are going backwards and not only is the football horrible but even the atmosphere is horrible due to Jose.

Yeah "useless".

Martial: Golden Boy, 17 goals/10 assists his first year same as Rooney's
Rashford: Academy star
Mata: CL winner, PL winner, Chelsea POTY
Pogba: Former FIFPro World XI
Lukaku: 3rd most prolific scorer in the league the last 4 years after Kane/Aguero
De Gea: Best shot stopper in football
Bailly: 3rd best young CB in La Liga when we bought him behind Varane/Umtiti
Shaw: England's future at LB
Fred: Wanted by several top teams, high energy skilled CM

But yeah the squad is useless mate. Jose is the only man for the job, the best we can do is 7th. Shut up with that cult garbage.
What a childish response. Cult garbage? I never said I was fully behind Mourinho did I?

I'm now convinced he is actually trying to get sacked.

We have lined up with 7 defensive players, 1 midfielder and 2 attackers.

Walking to the ground now. Not confident at all with that team. A real sense that this could be the night that Mourinho loses Old Trafford.

Would love to know how many of the signings under him have genuinely been his targets, because I don’t have a clue.

46 bloody changes to the starting lineup this season. Man has no clue what his best team is in his 3rd season here.

And that reaffirms your point how exactly? You expect a 19yr old to hop in and be the leading RB at man Utd? And regardless of his age, he can't possibly play if he's injured now can he
I wasn't aware I was trying to make a point :confused:

Just correcting you regarding his age, because he really isn't 18. No need to throw a fit because of it buddy.

He wasn't backed here? What's with those 400 million then?

I'm not so sure. I fully believe in the theory that he won't be sacked until its mathematically impossible to get Top 4
Well, I'd say our chances of reaching top 4 are highly improbable given the fact that no team has ever clawed back the deficit United currently face.

A 5-0 hammering at home to the Gooners is likely to end that challenge altogether, so the board may feel now is the time.

I'm not throwing a fit, my whole point was that it's a player who was never expected to come in and immediately improve the team. Whether he's 18 or 19 is hardly relevant.

I find it funny how our own fans don’t want to rate our players. But these CB playing today are better than Arsenal’s.

I mean you did put an emphasis on him being 18, so I thought since you're building your argument around it, his real age ought to be important to you.

Don’t be obtuse, his point was easy to see regardless of the age being off.

So is it only Arsenal fans who are singing “Mourinho we want you to stay”, or are there United fans filling in as well?

Who would have ever thought that Mourinho of all people would be universally loved by oppo fans.

We look like schoolboys when defending, everyone going for the ball, it's ridiculous to watch. Somehow we are better than Arsenal though, they shpuld be ashamed of themselves.

The writing was all their on the wall when he bought pogba and matic here along with fellani into this already struggling midfield.

Everyone knew pogba's weaknesses and the lack of workrate and quickness from matic and fellani.

I'm building an argument around him being young and with 0 experience. Is that really so difficult to comprehend?
