What is this...what is this feeling?...is this....is this happiness?
YEEEEEES!!!!!
He should had been fired since the Sevilla game, and not because the result but because of his words. It was clear he didn’t saw us a top team. There for his aspirations didn’t match ours.
I hope we make the right choice this time, the clubs that have dominated the latest years (Barca and Madrid) have developed new managers, specially Barca they care a lot about their phylosophy. I hope we do the same.

And Woodward, while he is at it, should fire himself from making signings, approving targets, having anything to do with football.
That strawman would look great with a little hat and a bow tie.
Jumped out of bed here in America when I saw on my phone he had been sacked. Hard not to get excited. Massive drag on the club, glad he is leaving. Hopefully our caretaker is just someone who will attack. This season is over anyways.
Bit of a stretch to include two interim managers and a bloke who's going to take a couple of training as 'managers'.
Uh-uh.
Yes, DOF is way to get forward,
Also who ever the caretaker manager will get lot less pressure.
And finally we can enjoy this half season without thinking of result.
GREAT GREAT feckING GREAT NEWS!!!!!
Tonight we celebrate like its 1999!!!

I suppose. I'll be honest I've been indifferent to the results for awhile now. It's the football that I want to actually look forward to. And I don't know if that'll happen this season. It's hard to to from complete shambles to quality foorball quickly.
Apart from the match going fans who were still full behind him and were singing his name while booing Pogba, there was 10% of fans who still voted No in the sacking thread and 20% who thought he needs more time; and this without looking at fans in social media like twitter, instagram, facebook,... and some folks in pubs.
Yeah, think you're right. 3 of our best players seem to either have contracts winding down or eyes on the door. I think the news that Raiola was negotiating with Juventus was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I should have added "I hope I'm wrong"! Which of course I do. When Ferguson was appointed he managed to change the club, so no reason to think it's impossible that someone new couldn't affect positive change. But I'd be happier to see Woodward gone than Mourinho.

Jamie Jackson, spot on like usual....

I could not possibly agree with you more, mate. Really shows the state of this place. The celebrations at his sacking. The abuse. The calls for SAF to come back... *rolls eyes*
Him and Miguel are so clueless. It's beyond funny at this point
I want Blanc. no one else
That's very interesting actually. From the outside looking in Deschamps comes across as some negative guy while Blanc has a certain charisma about him, but like I side looking in from the outside that's purely superficial. If you look at how Deschamps managed to get back to back finals with a France squad filled to the brim with massive ego's, it suggests there must be something about his personality to have been able to keep them all inspired.
What news to wake up to. 
For me its does required to be quality football, simple more attacking mind football can do job for me.
I was a big Mourinho fan and wanted him to take over, I think it’s a shame how it’s worked out, but he’s failed massively. It’s been clear for some time now that it wasn’t working. He’s far too antagonistic and seems to hold many grudges against people around him. We were plummeting under his stewardship and had no hope of correcting course. The worse it got, the worse he got.
You can blame the players for whatever, but no matter what your job is, if you don’t respect your boss you’re not going to perform at your peak. It’s clear at least half of the squad couldn’t stand Mourinho, and it’s no coincidence that it was all our best players. He couldn’t get a tune out of them and reverted to workhorse players more and more, which still didn’t work. Every lineup felt like he was dropping someone to prove a point, a man devoid of ideas. It’s sad that it worked out like this but we had to stop the rot. I don’t expect an immediate turnaround, top four is already gone and we ain’t beating PSG over two legs so hopefully we use the rest of the season wisely.

He played the game again Jose vs Players, and it always end in the same way, he loses.
Yeah but those results all came after sustained poor performances and results which caused most of the fan bases to turn against him. Losing to a direct rival in an important game is an easy nail in the coffin.
I found out just a few minutes after getting out of bed. Shocker!
Im so happy for you guys, Congratulations!
Mourinho was the most bemusing manager we've had out of the three pair SAF. I never understood:
- The absurd attitude/criticism towards his own players
- The lack of any real football identity
- His complete detachment of self from the results and performances as if he was a casual observer
- The inability to develop/utilise his own signings which unlike LVG were actually good on paper
What a fecking sad day. Mou had to go but after 3 failed managers we have backslid incredibly. It’s like amputating an arm to save your life. Hopefully this is the first day of a serious of wake up calls for the club. DOF, management structure, etc. Let’s do a proper restructuring and change management.
Zidane has won trophies but 'proven beyond any doubt' is debatable as he did it with RM who had a top team already. With UTD it will be to bring in players and I know I sound like a broken record but it's a rebuild and yes it's been a rebuild since SAF left but we need to get in a whole new management system from top to bottom which hasn't happened yet and I think the club will move in that direction with a DOF.What makes him a better manager than Klopp (I asumme St Pep is the best)?
Our philosophy should be to WIN trophies, Zidane has proven beyond any doubt he is excellent at doing just that.
Reals next full time manager went on to win the Champions League, the competition which Klopp beat Jose in.
Chelsea’s next full time manager went on to win the Premier League, the competition which Klopp beat Jose in.
We’re winning the league next year boys!
Cheers Jurgen broLowing our expectations and fell out big time with the players. Players power won again I think that's the main reason of sacking him or one of the most important reasons though.
You are right mate. Tuning him out.
That bloke at the Mirror told us he would get the sack regardless of the Newcastle result, think he's owed an apology...
Just saw the news, a bit surprised tbh.
I was in minority before he became our manager but during his tenure never asked for his head, nor i ever voted yes for him being sacked (reason has nothing to do with JM), didnt miss a chance to shit on him for things i didnt like thoo. Here is a thing, even now i am a bit pissed at him, thought he is a smart guy but it turned out not so much, he just couldnt help himself.
When he became our manager i thought, ok he is here now, a winner, he will give his best to leave his mark in best way, be on that wall filled with pictures (Rio interview), he will give his best to change a bit of his ways because its United after all etc. Nope, he just had to go full JM, he couldnt give a shit is it United or any other club, same shit in his eyes it seems. Maybe i am just a bit butthurt because a manager like him, who is/was a winner, a classless cnut, with his fecked up views when it comes to young players etc. , didnt see us worthy enough to adapt and change just a little bit. Oh and Rectumville and all in it, .!. .

For once I'm willing to fight by your side, chief.
If I put aside my irrational dislike of his demeanor, he is a good coach and he could even be more than an interim option, if he fits with the future DOF.
I have no sympathy for him. He started pre-season by saying everything is fecked. That he has no players to choose from. The club won't let him sign 30 year old center backs for 80 million etc etc...At the time he had EIGHT center backs to choose from
Bailly, Lindelof, Rojo, Blind, Smalling, Jones, Fosu-Mensah and Tuanzebe. (Blind went back to Ajax and has been one of their stand out players. Scored a hat-trick for them on Sunday)
He has sulked the entire season, even played McTominay and Herrera in central defense when Bailly was fit. We lost those games.
We set up against teams like West Ham, Brighton, Huddersfield like we are playing Real Madrid. With 3 defensive holding midfielders. Not only did we struggle to create chances, we couldn't get out of our own half!
He made Ashley Young CAPTAIN. A failed winger, converted to left back. He was shit there, so when Shaw got back into the team and showed us what a left back should do, he moved Young to right back, and he was equally shit there as well. Hoofing in crosses that never reached anyone. Consistently terrible, and still captain for every big game. We played a 19 year old in the same position against Fulham. He ran with the ball, beat the last man and crossed the ball to a United player. We won 4-1.
Matic and Lukaku have been fecked since the world cup. Literally losing the ball every touch, and not being able to run for more than 20 mins. It took him 15 games to even acknowledge this. They are both back in the starting 11, still fecked.
How long did it take him to start playing Martial and Rashford? He has messed them about for 2 years. When they get a run of games together you can see the link up play starting to improve, then the next game he drops one of them.
Alexis Sanchez. We didn't need to sign him, as the left hand side was fairly heavily manned already, but he was Arsenal's best player for 3 seasons. He even scored 8 goals for them in the same season we signed him. Where is he? He's not even in the squad? He's on 300k per week and nobody has seen him? Lukaku is on his knees, and Alexis is sat at home! Hamstring injury, my foot!
Then there's Pogba. He goes off to play for France every now and then. Puts in a 9 out of 10 performance. Gets all the plaudits. Comes back to United and is total dogshit. Completely out of sync with the rest of the team, he lays off passes to people who aren't there and the ball is intercepted and suddenly we are on the backfoot. Looks up with the ball in midfield and see's no runners, so just passes sideways to Ashley Young for another hoof to nobody. Lost his place to Fellaini. feckin hell.
Yeah, time to go Mo. You've stunk this place out enough.

If you're picking a matchday squad, deciding team tactics and sitting in the dugout deciding substitutions during a match you're a manager, like it or not, and that is exactly what Gigss did and our next interim manager will do. So fair point, Carrick may be a stretch, but at the end of it all that's still 6 managers in 5 years and it's clear the board do not know what they are doing given the number of managerial changes we have had.
Whose idea was it to bring Christmas forward a week? Hopefully we can make good use of the time between now and the appointment of a permanent manager to sort out the other issues that are holding our club back.
Good, I'm glad he is gone. Now let's see if these same players raise their game or continue to be dog piss under another manager. I kind of expect the latter.
'He's just taking pressure off the players.'
A step in the right direction. Now appoint a football director who can get players that are deserving of the shirt.
