I would take Jose's assistant Rui over Moyes any day of the week. He is the biggest reason we have fallen so far and in hindsight we should of let Phelan and Mulensteen run the squad until the right guy came along. I was just so disappointed that Manchester United and SAF went with their fifth choice of manager instead of coming up with something different and dare I say it, a bit out of the box. Moyes was a fecking disaster in every sense.
When does Mourinho's job come under threat?

Some fans have become so used to manager sackings, they are not happy unless we sack our manager. And the worrying thing is that the patience is getting less with every firing.
At this rate, after Jose, the next manager will need to win every game or else he'll be fired the first game he gets a draw/loss!
If Moyes was the 5th choice, why was he given a 6 year contract?
A 6 year contract is unprecedented in today's game and he'd only be given that contract if he was our unquestionable 1st choice.
Even Jose (with his massive reputation), only got a 3 year contract! And this time around, he was our 1st and only choice.
All the facts suggest that Moyes was our 1st choice and that we were extremely confident that he was absolutely the right man for the job.
So, all the league titles he actually did win, don't count?
With regards to LVG - he made it very clear that from here on in, we would be a 4th/5th place team and nothing more. He even asked fans to readjust their expectations, to reflect the new norm. He then made out that by winning the FA Cup, he'd achieved the most difficult task in World football. And lets not forget the most boring brand of football in the league, which LVG brought to Old Trafford.
The difference is when Moyes was appointed, we had just come off of having the same manager for an incredibly long time, so naturally we were accustomed to keeping our manager and giving him trust.
When Jose was appointed we had learned the harsh reality that not everybody can be like SAF and since our blind trust costs this clubs money.
Except Hazard and Costa were lighting it up the year before under Mourinho and Rashford has quite a few goals to his name as well.
By all accounts Pep, Mourinho and Ancelloti were sounded out before Moyes.
That goat Moyes always worms his way back into threads, such a bad appointment.
As for the OP, I had assumed it was a WUM. If we are genuinely questioning a manager in Nov we have truly turned into Real Madrid with their white hankies

I hope by goat you dont mean greatest of all time?
Romero
Jones
Rojo
Darmian
Schneiderlin
Fellaini
Young
Schweinsteiger
Rooney
Depay
On doubts x injury fear
Smalling
Shaw
On doubts for other reasons
Blind
Mkhitaryan
Mata
Martial
I agree that most of your first list can go. Happy to keep Young/Darmien on as backup. Romero is fine as a backup keeper unless he wants to go.
Don't agree with the rest. Smalling should become backup, Shaw should get another season, Blind should be backup, Mhki is impossible to say right now, Mata is performing very well, and Martial deserves another season unless the rumours of him causing issues are true.
Haha my anger at Moyes is just a cover up - all hail David. Genuinely can't believe how bad he has been since getting the sack. Win ratio at Sociedad 28%, Sunderland 21%I hope by goat you dont mean greatest of all time?
This thread is an insult to our club.
I see the meltdown is well and truly started this is why I don't come on here often there is so many pathetic glory hunters, Mourinho 15 games in and people want his head fs....Hope he gets his 3 years even if we end of tenth this season...Jose will win us the title
This.
I want his head... in my mouth!
Exactly. 15 games already and no major trophies to show for it. How long are we seriously supposed to put up with it?
What if he finishes 10th again next season? Would you still keep him for a third year?
I don't feel his job is under threat but every time he starts Rooney and gives him the armband, he is testing the patience of fans who see the worthless pick that is WR.
Ok, I can't stand Rooney but it's comical the minutes the bloke gets in a United shirt and JM needs to move him on if this team is going to change.

THANK GOD the internet wasn't around when Fergie first took over.
Yeah, I don't see Arsenal beating United today.
I do ..
I would happily take a humiliating pasting today if it meant getting this obnoxious cockbiscuit out of our club!

It doesnt this season. I think we will finish around 6th in the league but fully expect Mourinho to be here next season. I think he does need to pull him self together though quickly. He seems irritable (more than usual) depressed and has lost some spark. I really hope Mourinho can get the players out of the club who are past their sell by dates - not good enough. I dont want to see us looking for our 4th manager in 5 years. We need stability and need to give him time.
I suspect this thread or similar will be active after the game.
I think it could go full blown melt down if we loose today(which is very possible looking at that Arsenal team).
Nah, we're gonna batter that rabble.
Cowardly tactics after we scored cost us the win. Arsenal were all over the place and it should have been killed off. No way we were going to see the game out with the state of our defence.
Shame about the result but that was a very good performance. Wouldn't blame Mou.
Just one of those days lads.
We were 3 minutes away and unlucky to concede. That is just pure nonsense.
Had it right today, one moment of weak defending let him and the team down today.
Sensible tactics bore off, the only person to blame here if you want to point the finger is the ease in which chamberlain got past rashford and that's being picky
The only ones we have.
Yeah you cant blame Jose for that. The signs are there but we just need someone to put the ball into the net
Not his fault today, he did everything right. Certain players keep letting us down.
We played well and were unlucky. It happens.
Unless you expect Mourinho to head that cross away or tackle Ox, it's unbelievable to blame him for this. Absolutely ridiculous
God we've been so unlucky the past games. Burnety, Arsenal and Stoke should've all been 3 points.
We are clearly on the way up, a solid defense and GOOD wingers will change that
