JOSE MOURINHO KILLED THE PHILOSOPHY
Mourinho is the best manager in the world, who would say no? And LvG leaves having delivered an FA Cup, i'd say it's the perfect ending and vindicates those who said he'll win something with us.I see the LvG fandom are in tears
I couldn't enjoy anything united related anymore with LVG still in charge as the manager even the Fa cup, knowing we have a good manager and looking forward to decent football again is more important than a cup we got for beating palace.
With him confirmed out of door I can finally enjoy United again and I can also start enjoying this Fa cup win, it has been a good day
All cancelled out by being his boring, stubbornly tumescent style and a 4th and 5th place finsih.
THE WICKED PHILOSOPHY IS DEAD!!!!
Holy the feck!, Yaaassssss!!!!!! About fecking time. I fell asleep after that bore fest, am I still dreaming? This a prank?
I realise that you are hurt that LVG is leaving.
So I shall keep quiet and allow you to mourn the passing of the LVG era of dull boring football.
Good Lord! He was fecking shite. Get over it.
Mou and Zlatan get along nicely and I think Zlatan fancies one final challange in his career, and that is to prove himself under Mourinho at Old Trafford.Maybe Zlatan wanted to be certain Mourinho is coming so he can make his decision
Still woried about Jose's distrust of youth and ability to completely self combust.
But yeah, can it really be worse than this season?

I feel really rotten that this news is overshadowing the FA Cup win.
Welcome to José Cafe
Yep
For me? I always wanted him. Without doubt. I've always personally knew that we could never have another Fergie and I kind of understand why the old fashioned board where scared of him. But feck me, we need someone totally wanting this job, which he does, totally aggressive which he is and also someone proven recently and he is. The Fergie era is gone...will be forever...get someone in who shows respect for that guy and understands what it is all about at a top club. We can do no better at this moment is time.
This is what we wanted!!! The cup and Mourinho the same day!! Like Fergie use to say as soon as the trophy was won, the focus went straight to how to improve next season.
I wonder what day he was supposed to be unveiled?
The serious repercussion here is the sacking sweepstakes has been fecked.

It's adding to it, and has taken away any fear that the win will save Van Gaal.
It's been a good day, enjoy it
Don't get me wrong I'm over the moon at the FA Cup win but it's not a managerial masterstroke that vindicates support of him.
He had an acceptable first season and an absolutely dreadful second season. We could have easily finished 7th again and in the process he's turned the joy of watching United into a chore.
Good riddance
He didn't 'discover' Rashford, CBJ, etc, they rose through the academy and for the most part he stumbled into needing them.
feck LVG. He's going out on a high, let's get on with it.

It has I'm already over the cup win so that's a shame but you only ever enjoy success momentarily and there's no denying Mourinho is the big news now
Yeah holy feck because you can't celebrate the FA cup won by our players despite this idiot at the helm and celebrate him being replaced at the same time. How dare we like what you don't like.
Mourinho isn't the big story today. It's the fact that we won the FA Cup with 10 men, with a cracking winning goal from one of our own lads, who absolutely fecking loves the club. We had an 18 year old centre forward terrorising Palace, despite the fact he hadn't even made his debut a few months ago. I screamed my lungs out when we scored/won. I was pretty indifferent when I saw the tweets about Mourinho.
As for Mourinho, it's probably the right decision in the context of what's going on in the PL and football generally. We've been in a tailspin since Fergie left that hasn't shown any signs of solving itself. Throwing money at the problem hasn't solved it. Our footballing decisions have been consistently bad. He's a great manager who, if it comes off, will make us competitive again. He might even win us a league or two. Right now, that might be enough to make the potential downsides worth it. Maybe.
But if the rumours are to be believed, Mourinho's people have leaked this. It didn't need to be tonight. If, as he claims, Mourinho is LVG's mate, it would have been the easiest thing in the world to let this run to next week and then, when the dust had settled, it could all be done. It didn't need to be released as LVG was waiting to do his press conference, regardless of what you think about him. The reality is, though, that he's not LVG's mate. Much like sharks outside of the Finding Nemo universe, people like Mourinho don't have friends, just people they haven't had the chance to dick over yet.
For me, though, the more obvious thing to take from all of this is that, prior to even being appointed, Mourinho and friends are dancing to their own tune. That's a sign of things to come. So when it all goes horribly wrong - which it undoubtedly will, at some point - whether he's brought us success in the short term or not, we'll be left having pissed off the agent that we've spent the last few years desperately trying to get into bed with. Our saving grace may be our ability to pay over the odds, which is grist to the mill for the likes of Mendes.

I'm awaiting the influx of Jose Mourinho based usernames with bated breath.
@Twigginater you should change your name to NoWayJose
Just do a great job, Jose. Get us in the mix again.
Welcome @horvinho.
That would be funny from the mods, wink wink
Boom fecking boom.
United fans feeling sorry for LVG and Moyes is funny. They should watch the last 3 seasons in replay during this summer. Wankers the lot of them!
Deep
Past experience says that this will end in tears...prove me wrong Jose.
Fosu Mensah was an LvG signing. He brought him in the same day as Daley Blind.
Still waitingWe're waiting.
TFM was a LVG signing!!
Fair point, forgot about that
