United was never his dream job, they just happened to have the one manager he was too scared to pick a fight with.

His dream job was always Barca, he was desperate to get the job. He was beaten by Pep, that's why he dislikes Pep so much.

SOCCER. :D :D :D :D

 

That's why pre season results are meaningless.

Get pumped of Liverpool then beat Madrid.

Next you gonna tell us that when some guy who looks like he would sell you drugs outside a Shoreditch nightclub tells you on YouTube that we gonna buy Bale - we're not gonna buy Bale?

Remember when Utd fans ridiculed us and were claiming now that Mourinho had FINALLY got the job that he had always wanted he had changed and was there for the long time? 

Apparently the Chelsea meltdown was planned so he could take over his dream job in Manchester. Turns out he just genuinely can't last longer than 3 seasons. I mean, at least we got a league title out of it before he turned sh*t. 

You do realise he is their most successful manager since Ferguson?

It's not like he has had much competition there though.

I would say that Mourinho is achieving the bare minimum at United so far.

Not really anything to brag about when you spend that much money and you're marginally more successful than Van Gaal and David Moyes lmao.

A shift of blame onto the club as Jose warns the team aren't good enough. How about you coach them up a bit Jose?

I remember them mocking me on Twitter that they’ve stolen our manager, even though I had to remind them that we sacked him for almost relegating our club and his football doesn’t fit the Utd way but they didn’t care. 

 

He's only spent £400,000,000 -  hows he supposed to compete with such limited resources 

Spent force

Four-Hundred-Million-Pounds

Rumours mounting that Barca are pushing hard to try and sign Pogba. 

Not shaping up to be the best of transfer windows by United at the moment. 

Third Season Syndrome Strikes Again?

Is that supposed to be an accomplishment? He's had the easiest job out of the three, Moyes had it very hard and had to pick up from an ageing team Ferguson left. Van Gaal also had it very hard because Moyes barely changed the side and he had to go out and make all the risks. Mourinho picks up an established team that made top 4 and gets to splash the cash on all the top players and still hasn't looked anywhere close to winning the league yet.

Yep he's been very successful.

Point 1. Moyes was hand picked by Ferguson and Bobby C. He had more of a hand up than any United manager in history.

Point 2. Van Gaal. I don't believe any rational person, United fan or otherwise, thinks Moyes influenced what Vaan Gaal did.

Point 3. Both the above had big cash to spend and didn't achieve what Mourinho has for the club.

Now Slojo,  put your Jose disdain to one side for a moment, (don't panic, RIP Mourinho has already got that well covered), the real point is can Jose move United on and push Citeh. Because Citeh, as us Chelsea fans, and Roman, are well aware, are on another stratosphere when it comes to spending and consistently buying the top talent. That is Jose's challenge. And Sarri's. And Emery's etc. etc.

It doesn't matter, Moyes still had a much harder job, look at the team Ferguson left United, it's amazing how he even managed to win the league with that team. Van Gaal actually went out there and spent a lot of players, promoted youth players and signed young talents that Jose cannot seem to play with properly (Martial, Shaw & Rashford) only the exception of Lindgard has improved under Mourinho but he developed under Van Gaal who was the one who played him in the first place.

Don't pretend that Jose has had a harder job than those two. I don't even have disdain for Mourinho, I even said on the nearest and dearest rivals that I cannot hate the man. So you're assuming that anyone who has a different opinion to you on this matter must hate Mourinho. That's definitely not true at all. Jose already won the league with Chelsea in both of his stints, same with Inter and Madrid and Porto. He's having a much harder time with United at the moment and they really don't look much better going into this 3rd season.

Jose himself doesn't even look confident, he was confident last season of winning the league, this season he's saying otherwise. 

Since the board didn’t back him in the transfer market, it’ll be interesting to see what type of season they have. 

Will he stop moaning, work with what he’s got and try and challenge for the league title since this Utd team is still good enough to challenge or throw his toys out of the pram waiting for the sack to collect his multimillion pound payoff?

Pleeeeaaaase let him continue moaning 

Instead, he will probably break his 3-year curse, lead ManU to the title - if not this season, the next one - and be his smug self again.

In the process converting Pogba, Sanches and Martial into hard old-school tackle-a-brick-wall centre backs.

And Rashford, And Lingard. And Lukaku. 

Yes, some will say that playing with 6 centre backs is a tad defensive, but who is the serial winner here? 

It’s all doom & gloom in the red half of Manchester and I’m loving it 

I think Mourinho is struggling to cope with the fact he is not No.1 any more and not even close.

He's still a top coach but he isn't THE top coach and he's in danger of slipping further and further down and when you've been as successful as he has and you have the sort of massive ego Jose has, that must be difficult to accept. No wonder he always looks so miserable and it seems to be rubbing off on a lot of Utd personnel, which of course is just great!!

I personally believe Jose has alienated too many of that squad. I don't think he will be there for the whole season. Zidane taking over imo

If you burn bridges again and again, then there's only so many times people will believe that it is everyone else's fault.

Also, just seen a rumour that Man U are tapping up Zidane to replace Jose.  He really will never last more than 3 seasons anywhere, will he?

There’s only so many times a manger can create an “us against the world” mentality.

Worked brilliantly in his first spell at Chelsea and at Inter.

At United, not so much. At times it’s almost like watching a Mourinho tribute act. All the hits are being wheeled out... but it’s not as good as the originals.

No one could ever instill that mentality at United. Failed from the get go.
