Mourinho to United | Officially Announced

[SER19]

Great manager and potential to be a huge success here. The joy at the announcement is strange though it could equally become toxic and be a disaster. Mourinho is not a guarantee and should have to work very hard to earn the respect of a club like United given some of his history.

He's a winner though and has great presence, hopefully channels it well here.

The likes of @Von Mistelroum and @wiz4231 still won't believe it

It's a guessing game.

Wenger
Conte
Klopp
Ranieri

 

[Robbie Boy]

Finally, something to make me believe.

 

[Get In Scholesy]

Don't know how I feel about this.

Mainly going forward in terms of academy and youth.

Aww mate Come on now, i'm one of the few fans on here who's not a Mourinho fan, but surely he'll be an improvement... God I hope I'm not cursing this.

It is really happening... Mourinho at Old Trafford! Incredible.

Box office

 

[Amadaeus]

Let hope he does not change much of the United Philosophy. That helped Van Gaal towards the end of the season and with our FA cup victory.

The great thing about this appointment is that he is motivated to achieve something and prove he is still one of the best manager in football after the disasters us period he had at Chelsea this season.

Duncan Castles says he expects the club to announce Louis van Gaal as the new manager this week

Is it not Howard Nurse who does the late news

 

[Redlambs]

I would never have wanted him at OT, but after LVG this almost feels like a huge relief If true.

And to think, some people actually thought this wouldn't happen if we won today, even going as far as wanting us to lose.

Cocks out lads

Manchester United will appoint Jose Mourinho as their new manager, BBC Sport understands.

Mourinho has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in December.

With United failing to qualify for the Champions League under Louis van Gaal, the Old Trafford hierarchy are thought to have decided a change is required.

It is understood a deal with Mourinho was agreed in principle before Saturday's FA Cup final victory against Crystal Palace.

The club plan to announce his arrival early next week after telling Van Gaal his reign has come to an end.

The Dutchman still has one season remaining on his three-year deal, but despite spending £250m on new players, his tenure has disappointed many fans, the club finishing fourth and then fifth in the Premier League.

Van Gaal's grip on his job has seemed increasingly fragile this season, with Mourinho known to covet the task of masterminding a revival at United three years after legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down.

More to follow.

I couldn't be happier right now, aside from the Liverpool wanker manager switching channel as we were lifting the cup, I couldn't be happier.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Better than winning the cup

 

[Scorpy]

WHAT A FECKING DAY LADS!! Fecking delighted! I actually can't believe it's happening, we've been through so much these past few months.

 

[spwd]

Always liked hi.......

You'll come to love him Twigg

 

[Dobba]

Well it is time for me to hope that he's gone and decided he's all for giving youth players a chance, not throwing the team under the bus, not acting like a complete cnut and sticking around long enough to require a long-term vision I guess.

Feck it.

 

[Cina]

Better than winning the cup

Don't be fecking ridiculous

Wonder what LVG will say about it

 

[kps88]

I really hope LVG already knew about this. If not, what a terrible way to celebrate winning a trophy.

Is this 2014?

 

[clarkydaz]

[Member 60376]

Bye LVG and thanks for your efforts, ultimately we were not good enough. Shame because it had so much potential

 

[#07]

So much joy: the Cup and Jose on the same afternoon!

 

[100]

I am so conflicted right now

 

[Sigma]

BBC saying they will confirm in Tuesday but surely this is out in the open now, they have to confirm it now.
