Funny seeing the United fans talking about "what do you expect??? José asked for a center back this summer!". Well what are the mega money Bailly and Lindelof?

So I side with Mourinho and fans, because the alternative is big business eats and destroys football given the chance

Their board made a lot of huge signings after Mourinho arrived. Mourinho has no excuse for that pathetic boring football and melting down on the third year again. Fuck him, look at how he talks after the game, toxic guy who thinks he is bigger than the clubs, all other managers and Premiere league probably.

Mourinho 3rd year syndrome. Nothing new, I think we have seen this pretty much everywhere he goes.

I do nave a bit of sympathy for Utd fans and Mourinho though, for this reason.

Woodward, digging his heels in with transfers, is just doing the Glazers bidding. This is confirmed when Woodward boasted that Utd, (which is a money generating article for the Glazers) said that Utd make more money off the pitch than on it. They have another new strip coming out tomorrow. Youths in Malaysia, Hawaii and Ghana will still be buying shirts with Sanchez and Pogba on. Far away legends, underperforming.

Woodward is not doing his job if he does not try to increase the stock value of United. 

For me this united team squad is pretty good. They lack something in fb last season but Shaw is back and performing, they also bought a young RB. In midfield they added a good player in Fred. 

Mou wanted a commanding CB. I don't know thr names but based on rumors it was varane, Godin or Boateng. Two rejected united, varane is almost impossible.

He just has lost it. This is the guy who failed to see the potential in Kdb and salah but spent 200m on lukaku and pogba who are just above average age players witj a big hype. He has one of the most expensive squads ever assembled and moans that he did not get a 5th cb when he already has 4 very good ones. Sorry this is all on Mourinho. If you cant motivate and find the right tactics you are sinply not a good manager

He's been sussed as a one trick pony now, a general consensus amongst players means he will never attain the previous heights in the PL The bigger picture is clubs, Newcastle, Sp^ds, Cardiff, Swansea, plenty of clubs  just content to take the profit and TV cash for their owners, like the F1 teams that never expect or want to win a Grand Prix

Where will he goto next?

I know if I owned a club I'd take Conte over him any day.

I would too UJ- but you look at the PL clubs and probably 10-15 would take him. 

United problems can't be put down to one source - Mourinhos ego and not getting players he wanted, Pogba Lukaku underperforming, the Glazers have syphoned £1.5bn out of the club into their personal bank accounts, Woodward, etc but hey, lets enjoy the moment...

[Special Juan 27,474]

United fans clambering over themselves to get a picture with Lucas Moura

What's more laughable is that after another big defeat the main thing he focuses on is defending his own reputation.

It's simply all about him.

BUT its where would HE go?  The PL clubs youre talking about dont have a big enough profile OR could probably afford him. Tho I suppose it would large up their profiles.

But theres still some clubs around Europe that might take him on but not with his playing styles.

Yeah odds on he'll go abroad again, aint he looking old now ? Think the Glazers will stick atm, they're too tight to splash out, and Mourinho hasn't lost the dressing room-...yet !

Last night it was all about him, but if he started attacking the underperformers, which they were,  he'd be out pretty sharpish when the players down tools, and there is ''palpable dischord between the individual and players''.

Burnley will be a watershed game.

Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool (And Watford) Make Premier League History But What Does It Mean For Their Title Chances?

https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/tottenham-chelsea-liverpool-and-watford-make-premier-league-history-but-what-does-it-mean-for-their-title-chances

Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Watford have written their names into the history books by each winning their opening three games of the league season. It is the first time in Premier League history that four teams boast a 100-per-cent record after the opening three matchdays and we take a look at how previous fast starters have fared in the past...

I see that Bielsa is doing good. I'm happy for that. 

I always wanted him to come to the PL. Including managed Chelsea back then, when we fired RDM. We needed to change the style but still kept the same style with Mourinho and Conte. 

Now we are good with Sarri. 

But definitely looking forward to have Bielsa in the PL soon. I'm sure if Leeds don't make it some club in the PL will appoint him next season.
