Get in!
Hopefully Zlatan will be the cherry on the top. |

If they make us wait for a statement until the opening of the NY stock exchange tomorrow afternoon it will be utterly pathetic. Heck it's currently open and the news is out there so I don't see why they should.

Martial plays out wide, and Rashford is 18. It's quite feasible that Rashford could have a lean spell next year, or get injured. We can't be relying on such a young kid, in every game.
Ibrahimovic can come in for a year or two, and bridge the gap. Rashford will still get games, and Martial will almost certainly play most of the time. It actually makes a fair bit of sense, to me.

BBC claim that although negotiations are complete, the contract will be signed tomorrow.

The United PR machine is truly awful.

It's an open 'secret'. We all know that it's happening. Does it really matter when United announce it 'officially'? Cool your beans. |

I cannot recall such a long drawn out thing over appointing a manager for any club

It took a month to appoint Van Gaal, for starters.

I mean the constant tv media coverage
United appointing a new manager is always huge news, and you can multiply that sevenfold, when it's Mourinho. |

Meanwhile Ibrahimovich has said he knows where he's going next, and has known for a while, but wont say yet, the tease.

And here it is:-
Take a look at @ManUtd's Tweet: https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/73...130151425?s=09 The official unveiling seems to be at midday today. |

3 year deal, with an option for a fourth.
This is all we're getting until July, apparently: “To become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game,” “It is a club known and admired throughout the world. There is a mystique and a romance about it which no other club can match. “I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans. “I’m looking forward to being their manager and enjoying their magnificent support in the coming years.” |

That is the next thing that needs to be sorted out. |

Yep, be interesting to see the make-up of his team next, will Giggs stay on, or will Gary be brought into the fold again?
That is the next thing that needs to be sorted out. Sky are reporting that Rui Faria will be appointed his assistant. |

According to SSN, Mourinho won't be saying anything until July. He's done an interview for MUTV and that's all. Booo. I hope he's spent the last few months tapping up the players he wants.

I'm more interested in what he's going to do player-wise, than what minor roles ex-players are given.
Sky are reporting that Rui Faria will be appointed his assistant. Rui just follows José everywhere, so that was naturally a given. Quote:

Will still be good to hear from him anyway. |

It was because of Mourinho's image rights from what I've read. They were still owned by Chelsea apparently, and although Inter Milan and Real Madrid were prepared to use them under license from Chelsea when he managed those clubs, Man Utd wanted to own them outright. Looks like that sticking point has been ironed out now though.

Apparently the image rights thing was not right (source Telegraph) - they say that Jose bought back his rights some time ago.
Still don't want Zlatan - too much money for a punt José Mourinho has identified André Gomes, João Mário, John Stones, Álvaro Morata, Mauro Icardi and Ezequiel Garay as summer targets for Manchester United as part of an anticipated minimum £150m spend. https://www.theguardian.com/football...chester-united |

Finally.
Got the man we should have got 3 years ago. And the best possible time too. No summer of not knowing. No summer with a lack of preparation. If we're lucky, Jose has already been deciding over the last 5 months what he could be doing with us. |

It has overshadowed City's managerial appointment somewhat (small time but I couldn't give a crap). Great stuff! |
