Obviously leaving because he got himself an opportunity, but him leaving might impact our style of play. He's been Mourinho's assistant for 17 years, getting a fresh set of ideas is bound to have an impact. Just look at how we changed under Fergie through the years going from Kidd, McClaren, Queiroz, Phelan, etc.. The assistant manager has an impact, it just remains to be seen how much of it will be seen with Mourinho.

We can always take someone from Tottenham again.
Oh come on. People need to use their brains.
People really think Woodward or someone is going to force Jose to get rid of his long term assistant? Do you think Jose would stand for that?
Fair play to Rui, its a tough call to make a big change like that.
Yeah I would be shocked if he's not leaving because of this. Wish him all the best at his new club.
Clearly not, but part of the problem with United is I don't think we've really become a 'Mourinho team'. We're kind of in no man's land. Maybe - hopefully - Mourinho realised we, and him, need new ideas.
Yes he wanted to leave. Jose wouldnt put up with that bs if it was Ed or the club.
Why not? Giggs looked intimidated by LVG most of the time and also I think he was more learning off him as time went by and not actually coaching the players or being delegated for that stuff. Maybe the next person is different and will actually take on a bigger role with training?
That quote from Mourinho suggests he's got a management job lined up somewhere.
Nope the guy just wanted to strike out on his own, its been said a dozen times already ffs..
sounds like it
It’s so obvious. Jose and Jurgen are participating in the new series of Wife Swap.
I don't think Mourinho wanted him to leave. Faria is the one who probably took the decision because he had offers to manage other teams, much like what Mourinho himself did when he left Barca job.
However, I do agree that a new assistant manager will help install some new ideas in our training sessions and coaching, but it won't change much how Mourinho approaches his games imo.
I forgot we took McKenna from them.We can always take someone from Tottenham again.
Arsenal appointing Faria would be the stupidest managerial appointment ever imo.
Arsenal are a club in crisis and need an experienced manager to right the wrongs of the last few years of the Wenger reign.
Appointing a rookie with no experience would be suicidal.

Hopefully, we get someone who has similar idea of how fans like to see in term of style. Could be a good thing.
I hope we can get attacking assistant and take control of training session, it may improve our style of play.

17 years is a long time to be working together, it's going to be strange for Mourinho being without him I'm sure. I imagine the replacement will most likely be someone already at the club, probably Silvino Louro the most obvious one, you'd have to throw Carrick into the mix but possibly too soon for him.
Regardless of him moving on, never forget that Rui Faria looks like the sort of cnut who wears shoes with tracksuit bottoms.
Did Buvac get sick of seeing his attacks destroyed by shite defending?
Could be on gardening leave til the summer and then move here?!

Its about time we had an Irishman involved with the first team setup again.
Mourinho would walk if the latter. Faria will be going into management.
Howson is giving it the big 'un on Twitter now. Reckons he knows his replacement, who's going and our targets for the summer. Some of it sounds like a 'Please pay to watch my podcast...pretty please'.
No doubt about that.
He really does look like a Portuguese Joey Barton.
Yeah would be weird, hopefully it would mean we have a nice replacement, in fact we would need at least two top young managers - one for U18 and one for U23 to replace Sgabria or maybe Carrick would go straight to manage U23? Can't actually be worse but perhaps too little experience for that role already?
Anyone else think he's a very handsome man?
Imagine the meltdown on here if it was Sbragia 
.
.Going to be strange for Mourinho.
Faria has been the mainstay, while others have come and gone.

Hope he does well where ever he goes .. Bring in some one fresh and attacking oriented ..
One thing that is guaranteed is that Faria already got a manager job lined up. I’m going out on a limb saying it’s arsenal!
Faria will go into management. Don't think it has any meaningful impact on our tactical approach which is down to Mourinho.
B-but Goldbridge said we need a new assman to play g-good f-football.
Can't imagine what'd count as an "exciting" no.2 seeing as Mourinho will most likely still take all the decisions.
Yes! As a girl watching football these things are undervalued.
Anyone else a bit worried that Mourinho is already lonely as hell living in a hotel with no family and now his best pal is upping sticks as well...
