At least we're getting to the issues early enough in the season for them to be addressed and sorted ASAP, I would hate for this to happen during the run-in.
James Ducker: "Utd squad left shocked by Mourinho’s public censure, personal nature of criticism...'

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Rooney accused Ferguson of lying over an injury when he was playing for England. Then he came out with the angry confused stuff, united got no ambition etc
after three years of shit the least mourinho could do is give the team a kick up the ass. What do people expect him to do. He wants to win and we wont even get into the top four with the way we've played these past three games. Even I get pretty fecking annoyed when I watch replays or see the stills of the gaps we were leaving for the matches we lost.
Last thing we need right now.
This is exactly what all the opposition fans said would happen to us with Mourinho in charge and it's going perfectly to script.
Didn't think it be possible to detest Rooney even more but if he was the prick who leaked this I think I might do.

They'll both be gone by the summer. This leak just crystallises how desperate Rooney has become imo
Whoever is leaking this is a disgrace.
This kind of shit makes our situation so much worse. As if it wasn't bad enough losing 3 in a row, literally nothing good can come of this bullshit. Even if the reports aren't true it still sews doubt and makes the club look like it's full of dickheads
I'll say it again. Ed Woodward needs to be on a conference call with the Glazers and making some hard decisions now - suspend the leakers asap. If some other players get pissed off - suspend them too and put them on the January transfer list as it would be obvious that they have no ambition.
Watershed moment for Rooney and Mourinho, this. Whoever loses this little spat will effectively be gone from the club within 10 months.
God, I hope Mourinho wins. For once, let the manager win.

The idea that it's a kid like Lingard or Shaw,. 
There's only one player in our squad with the media connections in our squad, he even took the fecking journos out for a slap up lunch to grease the wheels prior to the Euros.

LvG was not our Don Revie
Should've been done this summer though. Needed a fresh start, some positivity around the club. We're dragged into the same shithole again.
Who the flying feck is going to pick Rooney up on his wages. The guy can't kick a football. We're stuck with him unless we get a miracle from China.
It was Fredo

This leaking has been going on since 2013 and the article references to the differences between Ferguson and Mourinho so it has to be someone who has played under both which doesn't leave too many players. Add in to that it seems like Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick (in addition to Ryan Giggs) always seem to come out of these big leaked pieces looking like saints compared to everyone else at the club.
It's unlikely that several journalists, including James Ducker, would be that friendly with Valencia given his English isn't great (from what we know) whilst De Gea has the same agent as Mourinho so I can't imagine his camp would be briefing negative information. That doesn't leave many options left and it's reasonable that people it would be one of Rooney or Carrick given they seem to come out these stories very well whilst one of them hasn't played all season and the other is very lucky to still be in the team.
Is this true though? I've seen many say it on here, but never seen a link.The idea that it's a kid like Lingard or Shaw,.
Lovely how Rooney is automatically the suspect and it turns into yet another Rooney bashing thread. Should just rename the Caf to Rooncafe. Crazy obsession on here.
We can write off his contract if we want to. It's like sacking a manager.
Christian Vieiri plays in China.
Rooney won't have trouble due to his brand. The problem is whether he wants to go to China.
You don't think Rooney would spout stuff to the press? That's extremely naive. Him and his agent orchestrated a potential move to City and held United to ransom to get a new contract by leaking stories. The knives are out for him at the moment, so I certainly don't doubt that he'd try and deflect some of that by leaking stories to the press.
For £30 million or whatever it is we'd have to pay out?
It's Rooney/Stretford and he's done it before. He wasn't subtle about it before either.
To be fair for free food and booze i'd leak whatever story. I'd play both sides, i'd do the mourinho retort tomorrow, then go to the agent on Thursday.State of journalists - all you need to do is buy them some food and booze and they're your bitch
We can loan him and pay most of his wages. It may genuinely be better to do that than to have him here if he is the one who has leaked this
Of course it his Rooney and his puppet master Stretford, again trying to deflect attention from some awful performances.
I still can't believe people don't see the politicking from both of them a mile off, didn't the penny drop when Rooney made his retirement announcement for England?

With 2 years left on his deal, I think thats right. Would be well worth it in my opinion.
Worth it.
Who else could it possibly be? The only player that has been here long enough and has the media connections to pull shit like this is Rooney. Lovely how all his fanboys turn a blind eye to yet another glaring sign that Rooney is the biggest problem this club has at this moment in time, while we're talking about crazy obsessions and all that...
Bye Bye Wayne.
Exactly. Years ago it wouldn't just have been Fergie having a go at them; they would've had to deal with Keane as well. These guys need to grow a collective set.
If Rooney really does own the media then he does an even worse job using it than he does at playing football these days considering how the entire media has been slamming him for days now.
Mourinho could always give Rooney the Casillas/Mata/Schweinsteiger treatment. Rooney's digging himself into a ditch at the moment and is losing the legs he has to stand on. Sooner or later a freeze-out won't be met with the same barrage of criticism that followed when Casillas got dropped.
If Rooney wants to end his England career at the World Cup he'll have to find somewhere to play by next summer, or he'll never get selected.
All the players should just feck off. We don't need players, we're Manchester United.
So the day after a massive press campaign against Rooney, possibly based on information fed by Mourinho that he's about to be dropped, we get this from a journalist well known to be close to Rooney - an article which seems to know exactly what's going on inside Rooney's head. And someone on here thinks the likely culprit is...Jesse fecking Lingard?
I would love to see Big Sam's reaction after him dropping rashford for not playing enough
Yeah we could probably have a squad full of sponsors.
It's all an anti-Rooney agenda, though. Haven't you heard?
Actually you're probably right.
