It was disrespectful and unprofessional when it happened with LVG, now it's just downright embarrassing.

I’m going old Trafford tomorrow. I’m going to be so happy now. Lol.
As poorly as this sacking has been handled (for the third time in a row!) I'll be chuffed to bits to see the back of Jose.
Hope to god it's true.

Realistically, it's Conte or Zidane. The latter seems to have been distancing himself from it in the last week or so, going by reports in France...
Same with Moyes.
How is it the same thing. Woodward and Mourinho have seemingly been at odds for a very long time. This is him getting revenge, if it was actually his doing.
It’s possible that it was Mourinho’s camp that leaked this IMO. Something like he was informed that he’d be relieved of his duties after the game tomorrow and then his people put it out there to garner sympathy from everyone.
Imagine we get Conte......fecking hell 
The Glazers refuse any sort of attacking football it’s against their philosophy.

At least a new manager will be exciting, in contrast to the tripe I've watched so far this season.
We've become just another Chelsea/Real Madrid but without the on field success
Takes the piss
It’s not the nicest way to sack the manager but lets not pretend that Jose doesn’t deserve a bit of Karma after embarrassing the club on many occasions.
He’s right though. Mourinho will get a big reception.

Jose's been begging for the sack since the summer
Could be a caretaker until the summer, would give us a much better chance of getting the appointment right instead of making a 'who's available right now?' appointment.
He wouldn’t be managing the game if he was already told
That guy is full of shit and knows absolutely nothing.
What he said?
Not necessarily true.
Might have been asked to see the game out but refused and then this mess has followed...
I hope the news is true. I'll get heat for this but I couldn't care less how the news broke. Jose will be happy with his big fat paycheck and being back in London living in a house not a hotel.
Conte plays the polar opposite of attacking football.
Feck sake, things just go from bad to worse.Mourinho isn't Man United and needs to go but for the love of God United to it better than this.
He's done this twice before and why would Jose turn up tomorrow if he's been sacked?
He leaked Van Gaal before the FA cup final, so maybe that answers your question?
What do you mean? You're trying to justify Woodward being a spineless cnut leaking stuff to the press as 'well Jose has had digs at him' when Moyes and LvG had the exact same treatment from Woodward. Three managers have been sacked under him and the way we've done is an utter disgrace (if this is true)
Unprofessional to sack a manager after doing a fecking terrible job?
He took the champions of England to 7th place ffs I could have done better.
Yet he sacked his joint managers at Salford who had got them all their promotions only to bring in a bigger name. He’s a walking hypocrite.
Am gonna laugh my ass off when the new manager comes in and Pogba still doesn't perform Martial is still crap and if it's Zidane you guys find out how deep and out of his depth he is
Not sure how I feel about this. Haven’t enjoyed things recently, but at the same time didn’t want him sacked - doesn’t make sense I know.
Then again, if the story that he has given up and would welcome a pay off is true, then that’s totally pathetic in my eyes. I thought he was a stronger man than that but we really have seen a fragile side of him in recent years.

Happy this club is run by unprofessional individuals ? Fair enough.
He has to go and the sooner the better. I can't celebrate though, because I have absolutely no confidence in our board when it comes to finding a replacement.
That’s clearly not what people are reacting to and you know it.
Would be good to sack him now. Saves him with some dignity because the next 7 games are going to be very very ugly.
Possiby, but I don't see them giving it to a Carrick/Butt/McKenna with more than 8 months of football still to play. If they're binning Mourinho now, they're presumably doing it with one eye on the 4th place trophy. Experienced candidate more likely imo.
Don't be so fecking stupid
As others have mentioned, it's a fake account.
The way we sacked him was out of order. Woodward leaked to the press the night before then informed Moyes to come to Carrington early in the morning for a meeting. No matter what you think of Moyes as a manager, that's a horrible way to treat somebody who has always been known as a decent man.
Who are we even going to replace him with? I don't know why but I just can't see us sacking him yet, suppose with an international break coming up now is as good a time as any.
It's exactly the same story as LVG and Moyes. Everyone and his dog in the media knows the manager will get sacked and surround the manager with these leaks, while he gets insurance from Ed till the truth be revealed. We can't simply do it with dignity and tell the manager in his face he's sacked and good luck. He must know it from the media first.
Wonder how the players will react to this news.
Fuming about the way it's been handled (if true) Moyes and Van Gaal was leaked before they got sacked as well. Said it's a disgrace and people will turn out to support Jose tomorrow (if it is his last game) because he deserves to be treated better, Neville will also be there showing his support. Said the fans will turn on the board if this is all true.
I know you are a pundit Gary, but are you trying to make the board re-think this decision!?
Some rival fans CLEARLY have kidnapped his family and is making him defend Mourinho.
As much as I really want Mourinho gone, and welcome this news if it's true, to do it like this just shows how gargantually awful this club is run from those at the top, and ideally I would love to see Woodward and the Glazers gone too. IF it's true Mourinho has gone i hope we have that DOF lined up NOW before we put in another manager, for the love of god please. This should of happened in the summer if we weren't going to buy his targets as well, absolute shitshow from top to bottom, the running of this club has gone right to hell.
So you’re saying that you would welcome him back with open arms?
Fortune teller, are you?
David Moyes defenders still lurking about.....Jesus.
