The Manchester United Thread

Hopefully the ridiculous 10 Friday games go in the main to clubs in the Champions League.

Although no doubt L'pool and Utd being the biggest draws will have at leat one of them. Sighs.

You'll be lucky if you get only one of them. Expect City, United and Liverpool to feature heavily. FFS

FFS indeed. Sighs. Yeah, I fully expect that. Just hoping against hope they help out clubs before Champions League weeks and spare us that ****.

Who's got these BTW? Sky or your crew?
 
Paddy Crerand show Live has been pulled from MUTV tonight. Most likely due to whats going on and his huge meltdown on Radio 5 live on Sunday.

How? I would have thought clubs involved in Europe to be last in the queue for Friday games? Europa League clubs are normally designated Sunday/Monday games. Possibly Champions League clubs playing Tuesday may get a Friday game but I thought that would be about it? More likely to involve mid to lower league clubs surely? Until clubs are eliminated from Europe.
 
Mufc twitter account has not posted anything for over 7 hrs the longest since it started. SSN expect a statement later tonight.

We're both the biggest TV draws around. The twats will doubtless find a way to have us on. And City have the Pep factor.

I dont see how though. Not till we're out of Europe anyway. Liverpool might be on a few times, but they would have to spread it around the other clubs aswell. Still big draws with Liverpool and Chelsea though, so Liverpool v Chelsea could be a contender. Wouldnt surprise me if the 'random' fixture generator threw out Liverpool v Chelsea as the first Friday game to kick it all off.
 
I guess that's the last one. Van Gaal may be gone, but he will live as a meme forever.

‎@samuelluckhurst Told Giggs' offer from #mufc is a 'downgrade'.


Just make sure there's NO females on staff or else this will get ugly before it's begun!
 
Well at least Jose won't be bringing his physio so theres one he can't touch lol

I read that too fast ..... On first look it went 'Well at least Jose won't be banging his physio ..... ' And that whole sordid episode finally started to make sense.
 
Good news he has gone to meet the England squad means Rashfords injury was not serious on Saturday when he went off.

Will Zlatan Ibrahimović be reuniting with Jose at Old Trafford?



He loves Mourinho!
 
LOUIS VAN GAAL LEAVES MANCHESTER UNITED
(NYSE: MANU) Louis van Gaal is to leave Manchester United, with immediate effect.

Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward said: "I would like to thank Louis and his staff for their excellent work in the past two years culminating in winning a record-equalling 12th FA Cup for the club (and securing him a title in four different countries). He has behaved with great professionalism and dignity throughout his time here. He leaves us with a legacy of having given several young players the confidence to show their ability on the highest stage. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best in the future."

A decision on a successor as manager will be announced soon.
 
LOUIS VAN GAAL STATEMENT
Louis van Gaal issued the following statement at 20:30 BST this evening (Monday 23 May)...

It has been an honour to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.

I am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in the club's history. I have been privileged during my management career to have won 20 trophies but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history, will always be one of the most special achievements of my career.

I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan. I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club to move forward and achieve even greater success.

I hope that winning the FA Cup will give the club a platform to build upon next season to restore the success that this passionate set of fans desire.

Having managed in Holland, Spain and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English football and be part of English culture. Both of these experiences have lived up to expectations and been fantastic.

I thank my players and wish them well for next season. It has been a pleasure to work with them and it has been particularly rewarding to see so many young players take their chance to break into the first team and excel. I look forward to watching the continued development of these young players next season.

Thank you to the owners and board of Manchester United for giving me the opportunity to manage this great club.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the amazing United supporters. They are truly the best fans in the world.

I am indebted to my support and coaching staff, who have given me their all during their time at the club.

I am deeply grateful to each and every member of the club’s staff - the sports science team, the medical team, the kit and laundry department, club administration, the press office, the manager's team, the Academy team, ground staff and the catering team, both at Old Trafford stadium and Carrington training ground, all of whom have given me their unwavering support in my time at United. Never in my 25 years as a manager have I been so well supported in my role.

Finally, my special thanks go to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton for always making me and my family feel so welcome throughout my time as Manchester United manager.
