Mourinho's press conference

[LawCharltonBest]

We're expected to unveil Mourinho tomorrow, 11am according to the MEN

Anything you are hoping to hear / any general thoughts?

With Moyes and LvG, all I wanted was for them to say they'd try to win the title. Both avoided the question. Hopefully 3rd time lucky with Mourinho. No more aiming for 4th please

 

[Kostur]

I hope to hear he says I'm pretty.

 

[horsechoker]

Media will ask him a shit ton of questions about Pogba which he won't answer.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Don't think Mourinho will be too rash tomorrow. I reckon he'll be rather conservative in what he says regarding the league, the squad and transfers.

 

[JohnnyLaw]

I'd mainly just like to hear his thoughts on our squad and players, his plans for Rashford and the likes.

 

[wong]

Can't wait for this.

 

[coolredwine]

Media will ask him a shit ton of questions about Pogba which he won't answer.

I don't think that would be their priority. I am thinking more on the likes wrt the sacking and expectations with Manchester United. And then Pogba.

 

[SteveJ]

I'd mainly just like to hear his thoughts on our squad and players, his plans for Rashford and the likes.

It'll likely be 4000 questions about Rooney.

 

[mintsnake4]

I'd like him to tell me what happens to the poop when you flush an airplane toilet. Been bugging me for years that.

 

[K2K]

Hopefully he hardly answers any Pep/City questions.You know the media will go on and on about it.

 

[Wumminator]

I imagine he'd say what he said in his first season with Chelsea. This isn't his squad yet and he doesn't think the title is within his grasp in the first season. This is the most competitive league and it will take a while for his team to be built.

 

[WeedmineR]

When they ask him of our expectations this season, I fully expect him to say - "We are aiming for the title, of course!" in his own confident style and tone.

I'd like to hear about some squad rebuilding and some particular targets, or at least areas of our team, that really need strengthening.

I hope to hear some words on ours transfers - Eric, Ibra and hopefully on Henrikh M.

 

[Clas Sified]

"I am the _______ One". No idea what the blank will be filled in with though.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Expecting psychological games from day one plus a dig at Pep's bald spot bigger than empty seats at Etihad.

Seriously, I hope he'll be relaxed and just appreciate the job he just got.

Chelsea were a lot further along than us, and he specifically said time and time again that they wouldn't win the title in his first year at the club.

 

[Nogbadthebad]

It'll likely be 4000 questions about Rooney.

I'm not so sure. Rashford seems to have been adopted as 'the future' quietly by quite a few of the usual journalists, you seem him mentioned often as a 'bright point' and 'one who has nothing to be ashamed about' as they discuss the failings of pretty much everyone else in the england set up. I reckon they will push for potential issues with the zlatan holding him back, its the kind of story they love.

 

[Moonred]

We will see a toned down Mourinho. Downplaying everything.

 

[Red_Aaron]

I imagine he'd say what he said in his first season with Chelsea. This isn't his squad yet and he doesn't think the title is within his grasp in the first season. This is the most competitive league and it will take a while for his team to be built.

I actually think he might go the other way and be quite balls out about going for the title straight away, at least expecting us to compete for it anyway

 

[littlepeasoup]

"I am the _______ One". No idea what the blank will be filled in with though.

Big Red One?

 

[Minimalist]

Unless there's a stage put up outside Old Trafford with Mourinho arriving by horse and carriage, clearly we're a spent force.

Being serious, I hope he sets expectations accordingly and avoids any major troll comments on other managers.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Hopefully he says

'I have dreamed about this all my life and you know that isn't a lie or from our PR department'.

 

[Wumminator]

Looking forward to the people who have been saying for months "He won't downplay us like Moyes and LVG did" react to his press conference tomorrow.

Press conferences are mostly a load of shite. I hope he calls Custis fat.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

I hope to hear he says I'm pretty.

FWIW, I think you're ugly.

 

[WeedmineR]

Chelsea were a lot further along than us, and he specifically said time and time again that they wouldn't win the title in his first year at the club.

Thank you for pointing that out. I still want him to say it though. It'll be great think about it

 

[Dobba]

He'll rise up from the ground through a ring of fire, similar to The Brood in the WWF in the 90s.

 

[golden_blunder]

I can hear his accent in my head now, reading through those quotes

 

[baanke laal]

 

[K2K]

"I am the _______ One". No idea what the blank will be filled in with though.

No need to fill the blank.

 

[VP89]

Will this be televised on skysports?

 

[RedSky]

"I am the _______ One". No idea what the blank will be filled in with though.

United.

 

[Giggsy PO]

Can we call one of the Buffer brothers to introduce him?

 

[horsechoker]

Will this be televised on skysports?

MUTV more likely.

 

[Catt]

Bet he can't wait.

 

[Mindhunter]

Yup, I feel this would be critical. Especially with the shite we have been served for the last three years, I really hope his vision it about winning things NOW.

Also, I would really appreciate it if he doesn't use the words "philosophy" and "transition".

 

[JinnerJamie]

Will this be televised on skysports?

They will probably show it in full, or the highlights at least.

 

[SteveJ]

I hope he doesn't look as suicidal as when he announced he was the Happy One.

 

[duffer]

He'll announce the following:
The captaincy to Fellaini
The loan of Rashford to Aston Villa
The appointment of Steven Gerrard as assistant manager
That Bobby Charlton is is banned from the stadium
A 7 year contract extension for Rooney, Young and Rojo.
De Gea out, Joe Hart in.

Bastard

 

[Fully Fledged]

"I am the United One". No idea what the blank will be filled in with though.

Then go on about how the team and team work are important.

 

[baanke laal]

Also, I would really appreciate it if he doesn't use the words "philosophy" and "transition".

And "process".

 

[Dobbs]

It's more about what I don't want to hear. Nowadays the word "process" brings me out in a rash.
