I was outside and when I saw the app notification my knees literally went weak and my heart beat fast...at first I thought it was a joke, a clickbait and that "Mourinho leaves Manchester" meant he was going to London to visit his family or something...

WOW.:lol:

Jardim is my guess. He went to Saudi last week to sign for some Saudi club and then randomly changed his mind. Must have got a call from Woody.
Yeah, would make sense. He'd jump at the chance of coming here knowing that our season is wrecked already. Clean slate with the entire club wanting a positive change. He'd also be good for our young players.

Hes available. But surely the fact they havent immediately announced him (given that he is avaialable) would rule him out no?
May be he wants a full break. Let's see. I was mentioning him as a full timer though.

Amazingly we had more to thank LVG for than Mourinho. LVG left us having brought Martial to the club, promoted Rashford and left with a FA Cup. Mourinho is leaving with our best player ostracised and us with no chance of a top 4 finish

I'm not kidding when I tell you I was just listening to "The Clansman" By Iron Maiden and during the lines FREEDOOOOOM my brother comes out of his room and says the man has been sacked! Today I am celebrating, today is the first time in me life I'm getting pissed on a workday. Have a great day lads and lasses. :D:D:D

I hope the club gets it right this time.
3 years of boring football and drama brought a real dark cloud over the club.
Can’t wait for Saturday now

Sorry he couldn't make it work. If Mourinho couldn't make it work, then who the hell can.
Exactly.. We need a massive change club level not just a manager. Personally think it was a mutual leave, hope we just use an interim coach or someone like Zidane whos taken over RM mid season and done great regardless.

If we take bardem or someone similar, A) the best ones arent even available right now and B) chances of being slated by our currently very toxic fanbase




Thanks mourinho for giving us Dalot, Bailly and Lindelof, three defenders who have great potential and are relatively young. A league cup and a Europa league. you also achieved our highest finish since fergie, which was relatively close except a law avoiding and great man city side with much more depth beat us out.

Utd need a root and branch review.
The recruitment side of things and a proper sporting committee must be looked at.

It's surprising it this long to fire Jose.

Potential candidates:
  • Marco Rose
  • Ralph Hasenhüttl
  • Erik ten Hag
  • Julian Nagelsmann
  • Pablo Machin
  • Lucien Favre
  • Leonardo Jardim
  • Zinedine Zidane
Hard to pick one.
Rose as manager with Hasenhüttl as DoF would be a dream!

Lukaku and Matic will be totally bricking it.

Not Fellaini though, his position in the squad is doubtless as safe as ever.
Lukaku will probably get a chance under a new manager, even if I can’t see him lasting long, but Matic will be out on his back for sure come the summer.

The obvious choice, but I don't see him coming here from Spurs, for a couple of reasons. If he was to leave them now, I think it'd be for a Spanish club.

Don't think he has done anything any other manager couldn't to be fair.
No one could have lowered expectations and turned the fanbase against certain players as successfully as he did.

Thank feck.

I'm not going to say I told you so to all the people shouting the likes of me down, because it would be far better if he worked out.

But I will say can we drop the "Mourinho doesn't play boring football!" shite now once and for all, because he clearly fecking did :lol:

I’m surprised the Glazers gave the green light for this. Mourinho’s shenanigans Must have started affecting the share price.

Poch, Zidane? Who will it be?

This is a relief but I am not overjoyed and celebrating. I still feel we have some issues to sort out at the club. Hope the players turn up. Keen to see the first team selection for next game.

Red Card for Casemiro!
For the burst of hope you gave everyone by taking on what seemed (and still seems) like an impossible project. For signing Zlatan and Pogba, who linked up so beautifully in that first season. For giving us those rare glimpses of good football. For the Europa League, the Carabao Cup, for getting the highest post-SAF league finish with 2nd last season. For the entertainment in your earlier press conferences, for your charisma in the first two years. For making United relevant again, for two years.

It all fell apart in the third season, but for a while there, you were the manager we thought would take us to the top.

Thanks for everything Jose. Wish you hadn't made it so toxic by the end. Hope you don't make it more toxic later on.
