You know I wouldn't be surprised to see Ibrahimovic confirmed as our first signing later this week.

I really don't want this. 1 - 2 years for a player at the end of his career.
Could also have a potential negative impact on the development of Martial and Rashford
In fact the same could be said for putting Jose in charge in the first place.

It goes both ways, if Giggs has had no input for the past 3 years despite being in a prominent position then it is pretty gutless

Get rid please, if he's a good manager he'll get his shot eventually

In other news, Patrice Evra has signed a new two year contract with Juve, glad to see how well he has done for himself since he left.

Van Gaal is becoming very Van Gaal again.
Seems the pressure is getting to him again and anything can happen then.


Doubt he ll see out his contract (which runs till 2017 iirc) and i will not be surprised at all if they get rid of him before this season ends.

And if that happens, the blame will be on anyone/everybody but himself.

From the transfer summer 2015 thread.

As for the last part, i guess he does have a small point if he starts blaming others than himself.

Now to replace him with his understudy while at Barca doesnt seem too much of a change.

Genuinely really hopes he does well here.

Obviously I want Chelsea to win things again, but in Europe I'd be cheering for Joses team - once it doesn't concern Chelsea.

I'm hoping for a Barca Man U game in the 17/18 season

LvG said that Giggs was responsible for assessing the opposition & making reports for LvG. Jose won't need anyone to do that.

Quandary

If Giggs left and tried to build himself a proper managerial career most fans would have a hell of a lot more respect for him. If he gets to stay on as no.2 again it won't look very good. After the way the last 3 years have panned out he needs to distance himself from Utd for a while IMO.

Jose should be given complete control of which staff he choses to surround himself with.

He got a real shot in the arm from the move alright!

No hope Giggs would be Jose's number two, that will be Rui Faria.

Of course he will want someone to do that - maybe not Giggs, but you can be certain someone will be doing it.

Much needed. was definitly a player who needed the move. happy it worked so well for him as his last season with united was poor.

Wonder whst LVG id thinking about Jose considering they were such good friends and there seemed to be a really good friendship there.

I'm completely in favour of Mourinho picking his own backroom staff. If Giggs is part of that, or any other role below that (U21 manager, etc), then great. If he isn't, then that's fine. I just don't see why people are so hell bent against having Giggs staying on in any role, no matter what. If Mourinho decides he can be useful, I'm all for it.

Personally, if I were him, I'd go to another club and try to build a reputation. Then again, he's never demonstrated he can be a manager, so surely nobody would employ him ever again.

Blackburn have approached United/Warren Joyce over their manager position.

Joyce has done wonders with the reserve/u21 side for years - would be a loss to the club.

Has there been any sign of Kew since Saturday?

Quandary

What are people's thoughts on how Mourinho might handle our current squad?

He's always been a fan of Rooney so you would imagine he will have a place in the team, whether that's up front, 10 or midfield is hard to call. I can see Jose getting excellent use out of Morgan. I'd expect to see him become a starter for us in midfield. He strikes me as they type of hardworking, hard tackling, physical midfielder that Jose has always liked.

Memphis could be under serious pressure, but maybe a new managerial approach could see him turn it around.

Exciting times, even before we make a signing

Gary the "Tash" Neville to return if Giggs leaves :pac:

Ye know I'm amazed somones not had a go at Woodward about the fact its past 1 o'clock and an imagined announcement was supposed to be made...

I mean its just ridiculous... whats he doing... signing up a new bread and butter partner

Rayne Wooney

I just hope Mourinho is refreshed, he probably needed a break after Madrid.

First time round at Chelsea he was brilliant, not nearly as cynical as post Madrid but the bravado was there and it was great to watch albeit begrudgingly from a United perspective.

Apparently Ibra's agent is Dutch and has links to De Telegraaf, which is handy cause I've grown so used to them being reliable :P

Awesome news if true.

That's not very practical though, is it?

I suspect Mourinho won't do this.

Herrera is the one I'd have most hopes for - in a Lampard type of role, could do very well imo.

Or he could be sold for 2million and a bag of roasted sweetcorn to a spanish club. Fuk knows.

I'm very interested to see what Rooney will do under Jose. He will hopefully be a new player and get back to scoring 15+ a year.

Exciting times indeed.
