Yhh seen that about a thousand times on sky haha. Would they not do one over weekendl?

Some initial quotes incoming from Jose & Woody

The new Old Trafford boss said: "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."

Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "Jose is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward."

Oddly enough, yesterday marked 12 years since Porto beat United in Champions League on their way to their first and only Champions League win.

Whilst not my preferred candidate I offer my Congratulations to Jose on your appointment as manager of truly a great club. Sincerely hope you have a wonderful long successful happy career at the club. If that happens I'm happy too. Time to get behind new manager of mufc.

Nail on the head. I'm not a fan of Jose's previous antics, I'm sure very few are, but that article is proof read RTE half time rant spat that smells about as fresh as lambs rear end.

MagicIRL

It's no secret that José always wanted the United job. It would be incredible to see him really drive forward now that he has it. Everything is in place for him to have the best period of his career to date.

The headline is utter bollocks coming from a guy who played for Leeds when Brian Clough lasted only 44 days with them.

The only factual discrepancy I see is the notion that Mourinho styled himself on Fergie. That's just something he's made up to suit his dislike of both men.

Other than that he's spot on. Utd have been a complete shambles since Fergie left, with Woodward being a central figure to general incompetence.

The headline should have been "Van Gaal had to go but there was a right and wrong way to do it." but it probably wouldn't have gotten as many clicks from outraged Utd fans.

Mario Rosenstock must be having a fit right about now! :pac:

Mitch Connor

The talk is that he is heading off to various events over the next few weeks (as said previous here - Soccer Aid, Canadian GP) but after that it will be full steam ahead on United work. I think he doesn't officially start until July 1st, but United/Woodward/Mendes/Mourinho are already working on the 2016/17 season, and will be hard at it well in advance of July 1st.

I know the Euro's generally screw the transfer window up, but i think/hope the comments from Jose a week or so back will be pertinent - scouting isn't required at this stage, the euro's won't change much, the players that are wanted are known. I would like to see United start pre-season with the bulk of the work done, so that we can hit the ground running.

I can just see poor aul Duncan typing that like this

Maybe im just been romantic but i feel jose changes the dynamic of united that we havent had since Fergie left.

I always felt that with moyse and lvg we were chasing and begging the player to come to united even when we were in champs league i definitely felt that in the case of fabregas and bale bids and few others but now it be more like they will want to come to work for the manager at a massive club.

We have already seen a few players say how they want to work with him it feels good.

What was so wrong about the way United handled van Gaal's dismissal? Has it been proven that the leaks came from United? Were they supposed to sack him just before the cup final? He was a very fortunate man to have lasted as long as he did. Any other major club would have sacked him at Christmas.

Nothing wrong with it at all united have been dignified and even when announcing jose this morning mutv did a montage of lvg time at the club and thanking him and saying the young players coming threw are his legacy here.

People outside the club are now clutching at straws because lets face it lvg does not guarantee us success but and a big but there is a chance that this could turn into one of the shrewedest moves for a number of years if jose mellows and embraces the club.

Be interesting to see who the opposition will be on José's first home OR away game, when the new Premier League fixtures are released on June 15th.

At least UTD recognise the Mourinho way and have gone with a three year deal.

1st Year: Rebuild, approx 300m
2nd Year: Win a title
3rd Year: Have a fight with, take your pick, then the fcuks off😂😂😂

#LFC were actually close to a deal for Mane back in 2014, but then manager Brendan Rodgers declined the chance to sign him. #lfc (Echo)


we could have got him for 11m in 2014.:rolleyes:

The Liverpool thread is that way, just follow the tears

Maximus Alexander

I was hoping I'd have some bitterness to enjoy in the Chelsea thread at least. Instead they're being all dignified about it. Feckers. :pac:

Manchester United sealed their first Premier League title in the post Ferguson era, with a 4-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. The victory was a massive relief for Ed Woodward who has come under fire in recent seasons for his handling of the club, but his appointment of Mourinho in May last year has paid of spectacularly.

The win was all the sweeter with Ibrahimovic scoring his 27th,28th and 29th goals of the season, with the mercurial Swede raising a lot of eyebrows from fans and neutrals at his arrival to United last May on a free transfer from PSG.

The game also saw Player of the Year Memphis Depay grab his 22nd goal of the campaign, and his 17th and 18th assist crowning an incredible resurrection for the Dutch international

syngindub

now Giggsy, your move !!

TheTownie

Option in the contract to stay until 'at least' 2020. Basically a one year extension.

Mourinho is at the club he loves most with all the tools he needs to succeed, if he only lasts 3 years it'll be a failure

I hope he builds something great and squashes Pep in the process, he'll go down as a GOAT if he does which must be his aim. There really is no better place for him to be

Rumours of Barca and Bayern sniffing around Ozil

50 million bid to unsettle Sanchez and annoy Wenger would be a great way for Jose to start
