To add to the evenings hilarity since TOD decided to be a ***. Just 3 months ago. But ofc, I am the one who is trolling unnecessarily.

At the time that post was spot on and I wasnt the only one who said the same or similar. You only seem to pop up when Utd lose. And I’ve slated him plenty and never had any love in for him lol
 
That second half was most fun I've had watching United for **** of a long time, if only we had a manager who could produce that every week. We clearly have the players to do so, as tonight has shown.

I actually think we played better against Spurs despite the loss.
 
That second half was the absolute bare minimum for a United team. Actually run around the pitch, close down, get the ball and attack quickly. Show that your putting an effort in and run until you can't run any more. Do that and you win games. Simple as that. That 2nd half was how United should be. There is no excuse at all for why those players couldn't run like that and put that much effort into every game this season. Not just 45 minutes at 2-0 down. Now they need to go out every game and play like that and the results will come.
 
Mata was absolutely amazing in that central role, I want to see him more in a centre midfield trio and I want to see Matic in Left Centre Back again! But who's gonna be our 6? Fellaini, Pereira, Herrera or Fred?

Martial - Lukaku - Alexis

Pogba - ??? - Mata

Shaw - Matic - Smalling - Dalot

DDG
 
Board should act now while we've at least got a few week break to replace him. But they won't because they never do it soon enough.

We will get torn a new one by Chelsea and Juve if we play anything like we did today. That 2nd half was good by our recent standards but had no shape at all. It was literally just attack attack attack, I'm not complaining but there is literally nothing sustainable about what Mourinho is doing. Style and selection.

you are bang on and its exactly how i feel.I just dont see where this mourinho team is going,they are always so slow out of the blocks and we only attack out of desperation.still think mourinho isnt the right man for this group of players but can see him being there til may
 
If Mourinho left in the summer, he would've been a success. Steadied the ship, improved the squad quality and won a few trophies along the way. Staying on for these few months is the difference between his tenure being a decent one and a disastrous one. He's a 2 year manager.

[FONT=&quot]Manchester United have spoken to former Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta and had contact with the club’s current sporting director Fabio Paratici, as the Old Trafford hierarchy proceed with plans to remodel their football structure, amid the growing uncertainty over Jose Mourinho’s job.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The feeling now is that the nature of the 3-2 comeback against Newcastle United has bought the Portuguese time, but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward had already long become emboldened by plans to introduce a more modern continental model that didn’t place such prominence and importance on a single manager at the top.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Along those lines, United have been interested in putting in place a full technical staff, as opposed to just a director of football.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Paratici was a figure they were looking at very early for his successful work in the transfer market, only for Marotta to also become a possibility. The latter has just left Juventus, with a lot of questions about why, especially given he was credited with a huge role in restructuring the Italian champions over the last decade so they are now an example for modern clubs.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Attempting to bring the two as a package would actually appeal to United, with some sources - somewhat ironically - mentioning how it could be similar to how neighbours Manchester City effectively imported the Barcelona technical structure in the last few years.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Italian sources however say that could still be difficult to pull off. Paratici has recently renewed his deal with Juventus, and is minded to stay loyal to a successful project he has played a key part in building.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Out of work, Marotta is a greater possibility, but United would have a lot of competition and it is said the 61-year-old would greatly want to improve his English if he were to take such a job. That means something in Italy is likelier, but United feel they can put together a persuasive package[/FONT]

Those 2 would be great. And a fantastic step forward for the club. This however is concerning!

David de Gea reluctant to commit to Manchester United beyond current deal as troubled club faces prospect of losing its No 1. @TelegraphDucker reports - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/10/08/david-de-gea-reluctant-commit-beyond-current-deal-asmanchester/ …

Where would he go though. All the top clubs have got a keeper and I doubt he wants a sideways step move.

He'll stay. What he will do will be indirectly putting pressure on the board to sort this **** out. Like I've said from the start, one thing to fall out with Pogba, but when you start losing De Gea, Valencia, Lukaku, you're done as manager.
