José Mourinho's contract is for three-year's with an option to stay at the club until at least 2020.

Great appointment, good to see ManUtd having one of the best managers in the world again.

Personally, if we are going to raid Chelsea for players, would much rather us go for Willian than Hazard, we need a RW. But that is beside the point as I highly doubt Chelsea would let anyone come to us.

The only people who buy into mind games are the press.

Yup, and Rafa Benitez!!!

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Don't think Mou will buy any Prem players tbh.

 

[Vanjagl]

I probably should be excited, but I'm not.

Just hope this is the hungry Jose with a point to prove we get. Not the overly egotistical stroppy one that we saw glimpses of at Chelsea and other clubs.

For the first time in his career his quality is questioned. No better motivation than that to prove them wrong.

Mourinho wants Ibrahimovic and Willian for #mufc and each player wants the move, too...

Someone mentioned Willian? There you go... media already over it.

Exactly, which is why I am optimistic Jose knows he has to be a success at this club.

Yeah, I'm very optimistic about this deal and how much Jose helps in attracting bigger players.

Finally we have manager who can select defense rather than going for right foot left foot combination players.

 

[Tyton]

Seriously. If I ever run into Van Gaal somewhere on the street, I'm not going to ask for selfies or autographs, I'll just ask about the left foot defenders.

Obviously he must have tactical reasons for it, but **** knows what is it about.

Playing Blind obviously helped as he had excellent season but still can't guess the reason. Some of the best possession based teams never looked for combination like that. They just played 2 better ball playing defenders.

Jose mourinho has been in charge for a few hours and I know more about his "philosophy" than I ever did of Van Gaals.

It's for changing the side. When the ball is at the right and you want to switch plays to the left it's easier to have your first ball contact with your left foot and then pass. That way it's also easier for most defenders to look for a pass into the midfield. Think it also has to do with helping your back. If he gets passed through the middle you got the winger on your best side.
