His popularity with supporters doesn't matter one iota. A top manager will drop him if needs be but everything with Jose is a game and mostly it's all about him.

He wouldn't have won all those trophies if it was all about him.

Mourinho has isolated and squared off against more influential and powerful footballers than Rooney.

Utd should have appointed him when Slur Alex retired. Maureen is a busted flush now. Typical shite decision making by Woodward and his overlords.

All informed united fans have been looking rid of Rooney for at least two years. It doesn't make you an evangelist to be in that cohort.

I don't like Morinho's style not how his teams play but to claim the United job is too big for him or that he can no longer manage to the same level is dense on an entirely new level.

Wow - thanks for stopping by after the debate last night. She maybe edged it but I think you'll do better next time.

Was worth watching that just to see Rooneys sublime assist 

Well done to the Town also..

Christ that was awful. Could very easily have got beaten there. Empty seats and empty sections....not good. The lack of a midfield platform again a huge issue. Pogba getting worse by the game, not being utilised correctly. And I think his confidence is slipping and frustration is growing. Put a good platform in behind Pogba and let him fly. Ibrahimovic is one hungry f**ker though. I was totally wrong about him when his possible transfer was first mooted. He is a real winner and is giving good leadership in a team bereft of leaders. Rooney again terrible when introduced. One overhit pass in particular was hard to explain. Jose is right to "protect" him, hopefully he gets lots more protection.

Pogba was superb last Saturday.

Fair point, badly phrased. He was good on Saturday because there was better structure to the team. If you take that game out the trend is worrying for United.

Gary Neville on the United squad last weekend.

The last 10 transfer windows have been overseen by four different managers, so what you've got is four different managers' players," You've got a plate with Bolognese, a chicken tikka masala, a roast dinner and loads of curry and gravy thrown over the top. Individually they're quite nice, but together.... Jose Mourinho's got to find which bits of that plate he doesn't like. That'll take time.

Herrara and Carrick.

Absolutely. With Pogba pushed up.

[DuffleKing]

Last Saturday it was Herrera and pogba deeper with mata pushed on.

United should be leading that half by 2 or 3-0. Stoke somehow keeping a clean sheet so far.
