Announcing the appointment, Ed Woodward said: "José is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.
"I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward."
José Mourinho said: "To become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game. It is a club known and admired throughout the world. There is a mystique and a romance about it which no other club can match.
"I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans. I’m looking forward to being their manager and enjoying their magnificent support in the coming years."
Thats it, I'm unzipping.There is a mystique and a romance about it which no other club can match.

And yet SAF speaks incredibly highly of Mourinho. If you're using people speaking well of him as barometer of his character then you don't have a leg to stand on either.Occasionally yes, Ferguson would fall out with people. However you always felt he did well by the club. The amount of footballers who speak well of him is insane. Players like Shawcross, Eagles, Sompson have all said their careers are down to him.
For me this is massive. I imagine at Inter he could do his own thing and had a good relationship with Moratti who no doubt respected him. At Real and Chelsea, you have wild owners who get angry with you for winning 6-0, permanently on sack watch (Ancelotti and Benitez lasted less than 3 seasons between them) and like to put control on matters at the club. seeing as Van Gaal was able to do what he liked including completely disembowel our attacking traditions, Jose will get the freedom he desires also. We are a favourable club to work atWell. It will be an interesting era. If anybody was ever tailor made for our club, its Mourinho.
He has the ego to take the seat and who knows, it might actually mellow and mature him. He will finally have the autonomy to run a team/club as he sees fit. Something he has never had in his entire career.
He will also have Sir Bobby and Sir Alex to fall back on for advice.
W**k worthy, ayeThats it, I'm unzipping.
