The Manchester United Thread

[Legend Incredible]

The most embarrassing thing about this season is that we've allowed a manager to not only knock us out of CL at group stages but also the Europa League. No top club would of accepted this and that's my complaint with this board with Woodward on who makes the key decisions, have some ****** spine to act up the way you talk and sack a manager when his time has come. This is the second time they've cost us a whole season by not acting with Moyes and LVG.

LvG should of been gone by at Christmas/January time and everyone knew it apart from them it seems.

I'm glad it's that way so that once he's sacked, no one will say **** like "oh he deserved more time...he wasn't given any support" like the comments that were made post-moyes.

Always that chance I guess. Just think he is gonna come back refreshed and with a huge point to prove.

Never bet on that mate. Jose is Jose and nothing will change that. Chelsea fans believed they are getting new and very much matured Jose but it's the same.

I don't mind his cranky press conferences as long as he doesn't disrespect other managers.

Saw his interview other day where he talked about how he will start working in the summer and loves England. There was a small bit where he looked like a Jose of old, where he was cracking few jokes and was very easy going. Understandable as he is not in job so very much relaxed.

It's a good point with City tbh. With Pep in the Prem, chances of Mourinho having a meltdown increase tenfold.

There were posts supporting Moyes? Lol would love to read them.

IIRC when Van Gaal was doing badly there were comparisons but when Moyes was sacked there was a huge sigh of relief. If will be even better when Van Gaal will be relieved off first team duty.

Haha, this is what I said months back when he was first mooted for United.

He's going to be going all out to cut Chelsea down to size and he will be wanting to one up Pep. Actually, he will probably want to crush the "specialist in failure" while he's at it.

A lot of pressure before you even take in to account he will be managing United.

@DiMarzio has supposedly reported that Man Utd have met with Kostas Manolas' agent. Mourinho's Chelsea had a bid rejected for him in Sept.

Not sure how true as nothing is reported on Di Marzio twitter.

if we hire Jose then Jose can work with the players he targeted when he was at Chelsea, like Martial, Shaw and if we can sign Manolas then him too.

Tbh I think all the pep talk is nonsense sure he was not happy and did some things at Madrid that were out of line, but I put that more down to the frustration of not being to overtake Barca not pep imo.

Tbh you are overselling it. As much as Jose hate Pep, Pep hate Jose also and brings worst in him. He even swore once in the press conference.

IMO general public and media exaggerates all these a lot.

 

[Tyton]

It's a pointless comparision tbh. Moyes had to go because he was consistently ******** the bed in vs. top 6 games, the team was going nowhere.

Van Gaal is hanging on on basis of his vs. top 6 performance. These results got him top 4 in his first year and that's why you're still in the race this season too. As **** as this season is , it should be obvious to anybody that the squad is 2-3 good transfers away from a legit title challenge, regardless of whether the old git stays or not.

Good defender! Him and stones would be great if he's after same targets. Plus to that Ibra, Griezmann, Sanches. And I'm sure he will want a top CM. Maybe Kroos.

Ha ha just now Di Marzio published the story.

Hopefully we stay well clear of Stones. Very overrated player. We have Fosu Mensah and few other very talented CBs in the ranks who can do the job.

Hahah oh my god! He SWORE!

Yeah the media exaggerates but a fair bit because Jose gives them so many soundbites and controversial quotes.

Everyone knows they are rivals as they were at the two biggest clubs around. All I'm saying is; There will be just as much pressure on him at United as there was at Chelsea last season and probably more.

He will be out to redeem himself from the state/way he left Chelsea. That could work extremely well for United or implode like has happened in the past.

And if he can't overtake Peps Man City?

I do really hope Jose goes to united BTW, think it would easily be the most interesting appointment and possibly the best at the same time!

I don't know, you are making it sound like Jose will be fighting World war 2 where has to take care of German Tankers, Army while all being left all alone in the battle field.

Battle with Wenger, point to prove to Chelsea, can't handle Pep. lol, it's just a football manager job. Having 3-4 rival managers hating each other is nothing new, it's common. I hate how he disrespects other managers though.

Like I said, Pep loses cool with Jose around and he hate the sight of the man. Both do.

He will not be out to redeem himself. It's just another job which will fall to him at the right time. I'm sorry but many are looking for some sort of soap.

But how he owned rafa Benitez and his wife was pretty funny tho.

Haha calm down, not meaning that at all.

Course I want 'soap'. Half the fun of football is in that stuff! Red cards, arguments, offside goals. All the comments after, all the counter comments. Some of the best stuff comes from that.

Like Jose and his Wenger "voyeur" comment, that was pretty funny. Jose has many of the best quips actually. That's why I want him in.

You really think Jose will be thinking "It's just another job" ??

I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree. 100% bollocks. Stones is not very overrated at all. Yes he has made some mistakes, and at times he takes a bit too long with the ball in a dangerous defensive position. Overrated? Not at all. But if he makes a mistake my god do people pounce on him like savage pitbulls ready to crush him. He's only 21, already an excellent defender who is versatile. And I'm not speaking with an ounce of bias here-I've been critical where I've needed to be. I'm speaking as football fan and an England fan. Big clubs want him for a reason.

Rio Ferdinand in his early days was considered lazy and made a lot of mistakes, however given time he developed into a top centre back. Now I'm not saying for sure Stones will definitely reach that level however the media and public should lay off him and just let him get on with his football.

I mean god forbid a developing footballer makes a mistake right?

Rant over

No it wasn't not. Even the mafia follows unwritten rule that family is off limits.

Agree here, I've only seen him a few times this season but he looked so comfortable on the ball (even with his few errors)

Once he works out when and where to do his forward runs and picking passes, he will be unreal. He does actually remind me of Rio movement wise.

He played some cracking passes in that Holland friendly, and also slipped on his **** in possession lol.

Yeah we seem to enjoy slipping at times lol. His positioning against Arsenal was also second to none. The problem is when you're a youngster when you make a mistake or two, all of a sudden people question you're ability and for some it can crush their confidence. And there's times where he has looked nervous and I'm not surprised-this sort of thing will affect him when he's still learning
