Manager Jose Mourinho

United were already fucked, they have been fucked since Ferguson left, Mourinho was the only manager to win them anything since then so not sure what you're getting at with that tbh.
If Mourinho wins us trophies that immediately improves the entire mentality of the club, there is no downside to this, when he leaves that monkey is off our back (and it's one that's needed shaking off for a fucking long time) and we can look at other options, we certainly won't be as bad as we are now, that much I can assure you.
The only reason you don't want him is because he's ex chavs mate, let's be real, I get it, he's a prick, I don't like him as a person, as a matter of fact, I detest the cunt but he's a winner and I put the club first, he will bring us success imo, that's all I care about, success for this club.
If anything it will give me satisfaction watching us smash the chav cunts with one of their club legends at the helm.
Van Gaal won the FA Cup.
If Mourinho brings us silverware you won't hear a peep of complaint from me. I just think it's a riskier proposition than some are saying.
I was talking more about how we have swapped places with that mob. They are like we were in 2015-2017.
You know what I mean though, Mourinho winning anything with that United side and finishing 2nd shows just how good he is imo.
It's almost done if we're to believe what's going around the internet now. Some of us didn't want him, others campaigned for him, but it matters less now. So what should we expect from Mourinho's reign in North London? Here are my pros and cons:
PROS:
- Tactically, we will be a better team... this might lead to some good results;
- He will be able to get us playing better;
- He will be able to get our players motivated and playing closer to their potential;
- Some of his interviews will be legendary - looking forward to him having a dig at the scum;
- We will have some great smiley material on the forum;
- He will bring a winning mentality to the club;
- We might actually win a trophy. No really, we just might.
CONS:
- Quite likely that it will all end up in flames after no more than three years;
- Some of his interviews might also be toxic and some players might be publicly slagged off;
- He might have lost his touch over the years - we might be getting a lesser version of him;
- There is a good chance we might witness some ugly football under him.
Feel free to come up with other pros and cons.
Also, don't forget that we have a poll.

Still won a few cups?
Nah mate he's washed up. Give it to Eddie Howe
I'd imagine the same that happens at every single club he's ever managed?
Shit football and the whole thing falling apart after 18 months
I think that was a pretty good United squad, tbh.
You can make a case for Mourinho's performance there, but the imperious genius of a decade ago he was not.
And then what happened?
Could be part of the Kane deal?
Dumb poll. He's not this club's saviour.
Next manager, sure, and I'll watch and support, but he's not our bloody saviour.

Pro: Hard working players who thrive to get better and accept criticism will love him, just like Ibrahimovic, Materazzi and others did. He's a very controversial figure even for the players. There are players that to this day, they would do anything in the World for him, and then there is Paul Pogba.
The phrasing was meant as a joke. I will change it.
Edit: It doesn't look like I can change it after all. Serves me right for coming up with a poll in the first place I guess...
Sensational appointment. Not sure where this idea comes from that Jose plays shit football. His chelsea team were top scorers every time he won the league. His Madrid side beat peps team to the title with 100 plus points. Us as fans and the players dont want a project now. We are an elite club but the winning mentality has been lacking
