LVG had to go, we made sure of that by crying about it daily. If Mourinho goes we'll probably do worse. One of the reasons why we should stop this never ending "it's the manager" rhetoric.

Yeah, that was horrible. We can only hope Guardiola wont stay long.

Ecstatic. Very happy with the result, quite a turn around after last week. Surely the end for Rooney - the difference today's simply too great to ignore.

And he's doing it openly, basicly using their strategy against them. The discussion's no longer about his selection, it's about Yaya's agent. For someone who's lost his marbles Pep's pretty smart.

Same, it was a sarcastic comment.

Oww great. Didn't the same happen with LvG last year. Leaks in the press, LvG had a chat with senior players, made some changes - and after that we played much better. Rinse repeat no doubt. I'm sure the new and improved Mourinho wont go beserk... hahahahaha Maybe it's good this happens; as...

Would be fun though, I'd definately enjoy it.

Maybe we shouldn't wait for Mourinho to fail to explore the possibility that the people at the club breathe the complacency we've been seeing on the pitch. You can blame players and manager(s) all day long, but we're talking about a major business in sports, and club culture has to meet its...

Most of all, I think he's a crap referee. We all have our biases. He doesn't have to hate United. Maybe he dislikes United, favours some other club or despises certain players at United.

The club needs a proper assessment. We can't go on burning through players and managers like this. Take Pogba, unrecognisable after just a few weeks at United. Or Martial, who looked better when he just got here. Something's clearly not well.

Good example of a referee who's bad enough without his bias. Something has to be done in the EPL, it's getting ridiculous.

We got robbed against City, after that players probably lost confidence. Since we can't offload our team and manager every few weeks, maybe this would be a good moment to evaluate everyone else involved. At the very least, sack everyone who favored giving Rooney that ridiculous contract.

Beyond poor. Uninspired, incompetent and utterly unaware of it. We played like Feyenoord wanted to play but couldn't because nothing would have happened. You'd have two teams waiting for the counter that never came. And still, players who are unfit, injured every two games. Pogba is weird...

Indeed, there wasn't, 10 was the other striker. It's a modern position which came into use during the 90s and changed somewhat since the development and subsequent dominance of the 4231 system most teams use nowadays. Before that, everyone basicly played 442. Now if I'm not mistaken 'we' (the...

For Mourinho he could be a false 9, since he's not likely to copy Guardiola's inventions (meaning he'll be on the bench). Now I think Rashford is a 9, or a 10 and not a winger or a false 9. I've read the article which names Messi as the template. Which should be enough to tell you it's a poor...
