Let's all laugh at Man Utd: Istanbald

Bring back Van Gaal.

Even if you win Europa?

Tongue in cheek. Overall, I think he should get another season but if he fails to progress us next season then he should suffer the same fate.

I don't think he can be blamed that the majority of our squad is average, it was like that before he got here but I don't think I'll be able to take another season of this **** if we are in the Europa league again. If he cannot fix things within the next major transfer window he's done.

FWIW, I think you'd be in title contention next year. Growing pains this year but a lot of the pieces are in place. A more settled Pogba, Bailly, a more experienced Rashford etc. You have a ton of depth which can be key for a successful title run + continental football.

You know you'll spend big in the summer. A couple of key additions and I don't see why you're not in with a shout. You have the stature and means to bring in the big names.

He spent a lot of money last summer strengthening the squad.

Most of it was spent on securing a midfield general for the next decade. They still have gaping holes in the starting XI. Can't expect him to fix everything in one season.

Thought he was special.

Yes I got that, Jose's usually a second season wonder anyhow, with another injection from the transfer market, you gotta be there or there abouts.

IMO its still a tricky situation and not a straight forward summer for them. I think it looks a deep squad from the outside but to me they need major surgery to increase the quality of the starting line up as well as get rid of unwanted players. They have to get the window very very right or else its going to be another tough season.

 

[GDeep™]

Utd will be in a title chase next year, no doubt. But, if they fall short in the league and Europe, while playing this style and spending heavy, is Mourinho worth it? I'm not sure.

That's what I meant though. There's some obvious garbage in the squad, especially among the starters, but their squad also has great talent.

Say what you want about Mourinho but he's very capable of identifying what's needed and getting it.

Wonder how much? 50-70M. I guess.

Yeah but the market also will dictate whether he'll be able to get whats necessary and getting rid of unwanted players is pretty important.

Mourinho had a settled Chelsea side, no injuries and worth over £400m and took them down to the bottom of the Prem and got sacked.

He then took over the richest team in the world and spent a fortune, and unlike Conte who succeeded in his first year, bombed down to Moyes/LVG level . . below Wenger again.

He's just recently been beaten by a Poch and Wenger and plays mind numbingly boring football . . . . yet there's still some people on here bigging him up

Because he historically does the business in his 2nd season. How is that weird? No one has said he's outrageously good or anything. Just simply stating the fact that they'll likely be in the title race next season if you look at Mou's history.

Not sure why you're trying to start something when there's nothing here.

Mourinho's teams injury records are very good all the time. Wenger makes players injury prone.

This thread's called Let's laugh at United.

He's no better than Moyes and was given an open cheque book

£650m and they're finishing 6th.

The football has been duller than LVG

We ended their 25 game run of parking the bus

 

[Dokaka]

It's very telling that Mourinho brought in 4 players in the summer, and 3 of them have arguably been the 3 best player for them in Pogba, Bailly and Zlatan. Mkhitaryan has been so-so but he's done some important things in Europe.

Mourinho knows how to find the players he needs. It's dishonest to say he's finishing 6th with a £650m squad, he didn't buy those players, the horrendous managers before him did and he's just working with what he's got. He can't buy an entire squad in one season.

Can't help but feel this schadenfreude is going to come crashing down next season when he wins the league. To easy to discredit him now when he's just laying the groundwork.

 

[Rosso]

If we win the Europa then it really matters zilch where we finish in the league, just a few weeks ago we had the chance to go into 3rd place. Of the top teams only Chelsea and Sp**s have performed in the league this season.
