We all love United
Need some Italian speakers here to translate what's exactly she said in the video. I wouldn't trust the media's translation from anything

Erm, I just sent the link to an Italian mate who told me the translation is:

- Reporter: "How was the meeting?"
- Moratti: "Very nice. He (Jose) is always fantastic"

- Reporter: "Do you miss him"
- Moratti: "I missed him at a human level"

- Reporter: "And so never say never?.."
- Moratti: "Now he is happy, he is going to see the games"

Can anyone confirm?

Because the media speculation is causing LvG to have a breakdown every presser. Surely we can just get it over with and the fans home and away will at least get a bit more enthusiasm
Feck him sideways, hes having a meltdown because he has cocked up the job, simple

That's a done deal I'm guessing.

Duncan Castles being in the know can be put to bed now also.
I suspect the Castles and probably Ballbag stories were planted by Mendes to turn the screw on Ed

My wit's end
:lol::lol: I think that woman has basically just sacked LvG!

Whether he was supposed to leave now or in the Summer, van Gaal has no option but to walk at this point.

I think the reason we have got Van Gaal right now is that Mourinho has had his hands tied by Chelsea as part of their severance package. Giggs doesn't want the interim job again and Van Gaal has been offered a reasonable compensation package if he sees out the season with no obvious interim managers available.

His talk of not knowing anything about Mourinho coming in is just him trying to keep a grip on the squad.

This really wouldn't surprise me, people always jump the gun with these things.

Don't know any Italian, but she definitely says Manchester at the end of the video.

She definitely mentioned the word Manchester, so my guess would be that the translation you posted is not entirely correct

Pretty sure the word Manchester is audible at the end...

It's not 'games', it's 'circus'; so she obviously means United.

Your mate is probably having you on. She clearly says Manchester at the end, James Horncastle confirmed it and the press are running with it too.

Guess the best way is to call forth Italian caftards, no?
