What happened to the This Is Manchester United we don't sack our managers it's not the United way...
That's 3 sackings in what 5 years now?
Ye are no different to any club ffs.

David Moyes original contract hasn't expired yet!!!

[Main Street]

There is a precedent for a manager coming to pick up the pieces after a prolonged Mourinho narcissist hissy fit, steadying the club to startlingly good effect, in the face of mob hostility.

Well, thats that, Utd are in a difficult position now... Players won't just become better playes overnight when a manager is sacked, so its left Utd in a position of dropping more league points and drifting into mid table dross!

Coming second to City last season and some many points above the 4th place team to mid table, shows you how far a team can drop when players and management don't get on.

Pogba didn't take long removing his post there . . . safe to say he's happy enough!

Are you not contradicting yourself?

[Keyser soze]

Does it really matter who they appoint, the new man will only last a couple of seasons at the most, less if the Magpie Seanie type 'supporters' have their way.

He was sacked too late and wouldn't have lasted as long with some other big named clubs across Europe. The writing was on the wall for him since the Sevilla game last March and he didn't help himself with his ridiculous after match comments. United aren't going to get relegated so does it matter if they finish 6th or 16th as they aren't going to finish any higher. An improvement in the style of football with instilling a bit of confidence in the players where they are enjoying their football will be the objective of the caretaker management team now as even when United finished 2nd last season there was very little of that.

Someone like Laurent Blanc until the end of the season to steady the ship might work given that Zidane looks unlikely now at this stage. There is still a CL and FA cup to play for, top 4 is now very unlikely and whoever takes the job will not be under any major pressure as long as they play attacking football and give the fans a bit of excitement. Then go for Pocchetino in the summer

From what I can recall Blanc's teams aren't great to watch. As for Zidane don't want him anywhere near the club.

Mourinho wanted the United job for a long time apparently, but never seemed to enjoy it. He was staying in the hotel in Manchester, never bothered buying a house.

He won't manage in England again. A return to Inter or maybe the Portuguese job would be options in future.

Pogbas tweet was crass...

"Bit more on caretaker manager at United. Will be someone 'steeped in the traditions of the club'. Not Carrick, Butt, Neville G or P. Currently tying up loose ends with other interests which are not expected to present any issues. Announcement expected before weekend. #mufc"

Mike Keegan, be well enough connected

With that defence they can't just play better football, as they will be carved opened as Pogba is a lazy shite that will try his flicks and tricks, when it works its brilliant, when its doesnt come off he'll not track back and Utd don't have the cover to allow that to happen..

Why so?

[Armamike]

Was hoping he would stagger on until March time....

[Shamrock Shore]

It's the Christmas present José wanted.

A big f**k-off payout.

That's all he was interested in.
