Don't want to jinx it but our recent performances and results are really putting a huge spotlight on Mourinho's management and even more so with the way United are doing. Conte is managing basically same set of players and getting far better results and performances than Mourinho did last season.

People saying to give him two seasons or two transfer window. 

Before I was a bit worried, now I'm like please do it!

Well buying Ibra was stupid. He is 35, he is arrogant as fuck, doesnt realy care for the team and at same time it stopped the progress of Martial who was best outfield united player last season

That isn't surprising since he bought Eto'o for us.

But seriously, United should have stuck with LvG. LvG was inconsistent, but he was still building the team. He made Rashford and Martial. One more year with him and United could have gone somewhere. Now look what Mourinho has done to them. Playing out of position in favour for Zlatan who currently couldn't hit a barn door. Zlatan has an ego, and Mourinho wouldn't want to mess with his ego so he'll always be in the starting XI.

Mourinho maybe one of the most successful managers in history, but just like LvG his time is over. 

I mean 1 goal scored throughout October...that's BAD.

No, they should have gone head to head with us for Antonio, but thankfully they didn't think of him. Basically Conte is everything we were hoping Jose would have been when he came back.

He may have bought Eto'o for us but at least he knew how and when to use him. With Ibrahimovic, it's a different story altogether. It's just silly to use a 35-year-old as the main striker, especially for a club like United and Ibrahimovic might have his strengths but his obvious lack of dynamism, pace, mobility is hurting United. It makes them predictable and have to play almost everything through Ibrahimovic.

Post 242 by the poster named "twigginator" is perfect. Theyre picking on him but he speaks the most sense.

True. But we shouldn't be laughing at them too much, because some of us are just as hypocrite as they are now. When he was here and he was successfull, we weren't bothered by his antics. Now he's a "deluded man with psychological issues"  

On the other hand, it's funny how everytime he fails, his devoted fans blame it on the players. Happened at Madrid, Chelsea and now United.

I wouldn't say his time is over yet. 

The guy is a winner and always will be a winner...but his approach towards coaching doesn't fit this United squad at all. 

It will be interesting to see how this season progresses as United don't look anything like a top-4 challenging side

If Mourinho's time isn't over yet, then it will be over soon if he continues with the same approach, management style. It's obvious that all the things he's doing/he's done aren't effective as before. Only have to look at what's happening at United, what happened last season, and compare his trophy haul in the last 6 years with the 6 years prior to that.

[manpe 10,861]

United have a really good squad in fairness, their potential is frighteningly good and with proper management they'd be right up there. Luckily Mourinho doesn't know what to do with it because he is only capable of thinking short term, instant success is the only way he knows to boost his ego.

As demonstrated by the treatment of Martial, their future, in favour of a 35yo, symbolising the instant gratification Mou craves for:
United disrespected Anthony Martial by handing his number 9 shirt to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, says agent

I remember even during our winning run of the title some of us was not satisfied with certain things . Totally different right now with Conte after battering Everton . 

I used to like Mourinho a lot but I started to fell out with him after the tito eye poking incident . It's like that event cascade everything to follow .

Sure, me neither. I was one of those claiming that he lost it when a lot of people were only blaming the players. But if there are hypocritical Man United supporters who used to think that Mou's a cnut and now they love him, well we have to admit that there are also a lot of Chelsea fans doing the exact opposite. And that's ok, football is a lot about hypocrisy.

[Jase 43,479]

- No Shaw. No Mkhitaryan

- Martial, Rashford benched

- Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Fellaini continue to play

- Continue to play Valencia, Young as a FB

Top management from Mourinho!

[Tautvix 1,321]

It looks to be about Martial, Shaw and Miki. Let's hope Jose sells them all and then Martial becomes someone like De Bruyne  

[Darogba 112]

If shaw and mkhi are available, we should go for them.

I see he's now turning fans against certain players by his comments. The fans will now turn on each other and certain players and the atmosphere at the club will be poisonous. He really is a cancer on the game. 

[Adnane 1,101]

Apparently it's Shaw, he dropped out because he claimed not to be ready on the game's eve. 

Totally agree, if he's available he should be our number 1 target in January. 

He's also a Chelsea fan so, considering how good we have been lately, the atmosphere around the club, Jose's terrible man management ( which he's been a victim of lately ), and the great role he would have to play in that 3-4-3. I'm pretty convinced there is something to do here. 

Not that I'd put him ahead of Alonso, but we would at least have two strong reliable options there.

[Adnane 1,101]

Plus he wants loyal and "mentally strong" players, Fabregas-Shaw swap with us paying 20M£ and everyone wins. 

Funny thing is José would probably think this is a good deal.

Jose will never sell us any player. That's for sure.

Vintage Mourinho. Continues to blame everyone else but himself. It's amazing how he's not ended up at Liverpool!
