So they will watch and celebrate? But by dropping their support for their club for the sake of the manager they appointed do they even deserve to enjoy it as a fan would? To take part in the celebrations with the actual fans who supported the club through the worst times?
I don't know - they just don't like Mourinho - but they know they'll have to give him a chance.
They've supported all previous Man United managers, including Alex Ferguson, especially when he had a difficult start with the team in the beginning. I may be back next year to tell you what happened.

Anyway, Congratulations to all you Man United supporters!

In the space of an hour they have gone from no longer supporting the club to knowing they have to give mourinho a chance,

What awesome fans. Do they ever get dizzy with those sort of turn arounds?

But Trump turned up at Wrestlemania once, so, you know, yay Trump!


Sounds about right.

He'll get the odd 20 mins in a mickey mouse cup game, as will any player under 25.

Any falir players you have will be run in to the ground. One minute expected to be creating goals at one end and the next minute tackling back in your own penalty are.

He'll probably get you to another title but it'll come at a price. Your club will become a circus with one controversy after another. The football you have built your reputation on will go out the window. It will be replaced by ultra pragmatic, win at all costs football.
Will you be happy with just winning a big trophy or will you be left thinking there should br more to football than just lifting a big trophy at the end of a season???
As a Chelsea fan, I'm rather surprised at your dismissive views regarding Jose. Anyhow, speaking for myself, United have never been far from controversy - other the incident with the team doctor, nothing Jose has done has ever really troubled me. Fergie was hardly a shrinking violet.

As for the style of football, as GoldenXp said, have you actually seen United play the past couple of years?

For me this is a great evening - a win in the FA Cup which is the first trophy I saw United win and therefore always a favourite and the prospect of a new manager with everything to prove.

They were in shock. They wanted Van Gaal to remain, but I have to admit it didn't take long for my husband to calm down. It's surprised me too. lol

I hope Rashford stays, it might possibly be the end for Wilson and Fletcher however, in terms of strikers.
I very much doubt Rashford will be going anywhere.Fletcher still looks a decent player from what I have seen of him.

Not sure about Wilson though, Rashford has probably stole his thunder.

Great timing from him.

The team doctor.
Poking another manager in the eye.
Saying his players had betrayed him. The very players who were running on empty by Christmas but flogged themselves to win a title for him.
The Swedish ref who quit the game because of comments by Jose.
Shoving aside the player of the year two years running (Mata) who scoring and creating more goals than the rest of the team put together. Shoved aside because he couldn't track back and run around like headless Chicken.
Saying the Chelsea youth set up should be closed down if they are not going to be given a chance, then never giving them a chance.

I would assume Ibrahimavich won't be far behind Jose, Rashford, Martial, Ibrahimavich and Rooney, not a bad strike force.

Can you imagine Jose and Zlatan strutting around Old Trafford? Two massive egos ready to ruffle some feathers.

Bring it on.

It's what's needed I feel. Mourinho isn't everyone's cup of tea but he's a winner. United need some serious work done, and I think Jose is the man to do it. He's a proven winner in England. He may not last years, but we will be in better shape when he does go.

Like I said, the team doctor thing bothered me and probably the gouging in the eye. The rest? Well, like I said, Fergie said and did things that I would have hated if he wasn't our manager.

Anyway, it's not my decision to make but I would be gutted right now if the stories aren't true. As each season passes United are falling further and further behind. We need to arrest the fall and hopefully start to compete as we have done for the majority of PL years. I think Jose is currently our best realistic chance of stopping the decline and moving forward.

Yeah, I'm kinda gathering that. Whatever, he's not a decision maker and he's a Chelsea fan to boot...

It's really not apt. Trump is a horrendous excuse for a human being and his reputation for not being a 'quiet and reserved character' comes from him being a revolting, racist sexist shitstain who thinks war crimes are a good thing. You might think Mourinho is a bit of a dick but ****ing hell.
The trouble is Hillary is not any better, so they are pretty much screwed who ever they select next.

Congrats on the FA Cup win, was hoping it would keep LVG there for another season but will certainly be interesting with Mourinho in charge!

Found it abit strange your players singing a song about us in your celebrations afterwards, thought we were supposed to be the obsessed ones 😉

Hate is a very strong word. I dislike him and I'm not keen on win at all costs all of the time football.

By keeping sacking managers and hiring a manager you know goes against the long tradition of wanting to win but win with style, you are now just like anyother club.
You are no longer looking for another Fergie. No planning or philosophy. That's all gone. Justt quick fixes and fly by the seat of your pants so long as you win again.

That fan from Sierra Leone, who got a ticket for today, from some very kind fan, must have had the time of his life at the Cup final!

Good on him I say!

And there's the constant blaming of Refs everytime you get a bad result. He even said Refs had it in for Chelsea.

I wonder what kind of reception he will get from the Chelsea fans once he goes back to Stamford Bridge?
Good or bad?

Okay, I'm probably going to leave this debate right now. Only the most restrained and stoical managers don't blame the referees at some point. I'm sure LVG has had a reprimand for that.

You talk about the 'United tradition' of style of play. Well, LVG has not in anyway shape or form kept up that tradition and the results tell their tale.

I must admit to being biased, I wanted Mourinho when Fergie retired. Given how things have gone the past 3 years, I really can't be persuaded that not appointing Mourinho would be anything but a step backwards. Can you name a better, realistic alternative right now? There will never be another Fergie so yes, if it means a 'fly by night manager' (which I don't actually think Jose is) to steady the ship - then, yep, I'm in. There is so much that you stand to lose if your team isn't competing at the top level that you have to stop a decline as soon as possible.

Even if Jose isn't a success, I won't blame anyone for his appointment. If we carry on with LVG and then try to find someone to take us forward, I will not be impressed.

As our affectionate chant goes "Fergie's right, the refs are shite."

We're not adverse to having a manager who creates a siege mentality and making outrageous comment.

"He could have been killed" referring to RVP having a ball kicked at him.

Then there's the time he sold Jaap Stam. Who apparently was buying a new kitchen for his house when he was told.

I for one think he'll be right at home here at United.

Not that it matters but I'm happy with bad because this could indicate that their fans recognise a threat when they see one. But that is the least of our concerns. I like to think he'll be chomping at the bit to prove all doubters wrong in terms of his style and ability to stay and build a team. He certainly is keen after being snubbed for David Moyes.

I actually liked LVG from what I'd heard of him but I have no sentiment when it comes to United doing well.

I'd forgotten about that classic RVP quote....bless Fergie. We'll never see his like again.

You're spot on - the whole siege mentality has always served us well and Jose will most likely continue it in style. After today's result and the potential incoming of Jose, I haven't felt this giddy footballing wise for a while.
