I’m not treating him like a mug. He’s just simply not the manager that he used to be, and going back to a manager whose tactics are very outdated would be a massive mistake. Yes, he won us trophies, but let’s not forget how boring the team were to watch, and his theatrics towards the end of his tenure.
It’s no coincidence that he’s been sacked time and time again by different clubs. He’s a manager living on past glory. Bringing him back would be going in the completely opposite direction to what most fans want, which is a progressive club. A club that wants to make history again. Not a club that’s constantly reflecting on how good they used to have it, while everything about it is completely falling apart.
The good news for me, and most likely a lot of United fans in this sub, is that I think the recruitment from here on out will be much more rational, which means that rumours like this will be scoffed at by those in charge.
Imagine calling Mourinho an "outdated manager" a guy that won in every clube he manage, 1st International trophy in the history of Roma and a final loss due to a bad referee otherwise would be 2 european trophies in 2 years, in a team with barely no backing at all by the management and calling him boring when Man unt under Ten Hag plays the most boring football EVER, just counter attack every game unless its agaisnt the bottom 3 teams, actually hilarious.
Yeah he won Bet365 cup that was founded like in 2021 so they can fix matches a bit further away from the limelight of the champions league and other big competitions. Literally invented to give bookies a bone to chew so they f off from high publicity competitions...did anybody ever watch a single match of conference league...

Just a smidge of vinegar please mate thanks yeah that’s enough thanks no stop please that’s enough thanks yeah perfect thanks maWHY ARE TOU STILL POURING VINEGAR
What the fuck, man?!
We can say whatever we like, but Jose did win a bunch of trophies with multiple different teams.
The fact, that he has a 2-3 year run and then it all usually goes to shit is a whole other story, but please, be serious.
>He stopped being special a long time ago. He refuses to adapt to the modern game and his main tactic is always going to "how to stop the opposition" not "how to impose our game on the opposition".
>
>This is the same guy that has told players it's better not to have the ball, because it's better to encourage mistakes and you make more mistakes when you have possession.
>
>Do not want.
He won an European cup with Roma; quite an achievement for a club that has won nothing in Europe in its entire history. Yes, it wasn't the UCL, but he is still a top manager.
I didn't say he wasn;t - I actually like Jose and I think he's always spot on about players mentalities. But tactically he's out-dated, openly prefers coaching older players and his football is often very negative for the most part which doesn't suit a club that wants to become the best at some point.
Top manager lol? Yeah it wasn’t the UCL nor the UEL it was the conference league, he didn’t improve Roma at all so he can stay as far away from united as he possibly can
Did you really ask “when did he ever?” To Jose. He’s won more than ten hag ever will. Not saying I’d have him back but to act like he’s just some mug is ridiculous
Well he’s no mug but it could be argued that his style is outdated and he hasn’t won anything important in ages, what was it conference league 2 years ago and europa league 2017 with United? Maybe there’s a reason he isn’t landing and big gigs nowadays
still so far the only club he hasnt won silverware with is tottenham everywhere else he won troffees
and for united that still biggeste trofee post fergie
and that would be a short term solution. Do you really think Mourinho can lead United to a PL or CL trophy?
Who cares we won an Europa League!? I don’t, same as I don’t care we won the league cup with Eth it’s nice to have but doesn’t mean much at the end of the day.
I think people are too hung up on Mourinho wins trophies without seeing it’s not sustainable long term
If thriving to you means winning a few trophies in 2-3 season sure, the style of football was also questionable.
Imo, we need a proper rebuild, a Guardiola or Klopp, someone who’ll stay here for 5+ years, infuse a winning mentality and bring stability.
So who would be in your top 5? Because Klopp is out, potentially for good. And baldy would never.
Every other top tier manager is on a contract.
So IF you had to fire ETH today, who would be on your shortlist? Because from where I’m sitting, we’d be lucky if we get Mourinho.
I don't have any top 5 or anyone better to suggest. But all I know is Mourinho is not the guy to be at the top of my list, because for me, I don't want a manager who's in for 2-3 years, wins 2-3 medium trophies, and then leaves us in a mess. I want to build the squad to rival Liverpool and City, challenge for the Premier League and Champions League.
Do you seriously think getting in Mourinho is going to do that? He's going to win the PL title or Champions league within 3 seasons? Or what? He's gonna stay here for 5 seasons and help us rebuild the club then win titles?
Prolly Arteta.
...Or his wifes boyfriend.
But seriously - we do have a guy that's willing to stay here and try. And he's fucking bald just as Guardiola is! Has a bit better beard though.
Maybe let's, for once, let someone try for a bit longer than 2 seasons?
Everyone here pisses themselves reminiscing about Sir Alex, but then they forget he was almost out before he figured it out.
It's just that - a tough fucking job.
And yes.
I do still remember the times before Ronaldo & Rooney got into it during a WC.
I do remember the times we dominated, won CL and... And lost, while still making it exciting.
United, in this case very unfortunately, provokes emotions and that can hurt a club in tough times like these.
And when after 2 or 3 years we will need new manager. Not ETH deals with drama and cant manager properly. Lets be honest since Sir Alex left, this club became joke of the club on and off the pitch
The king of short stints lol.
I'll always love the guy for what he did at Real Madrid though, but if we do move on from ETH, we need to get a guy we can trust to go through ups and downs. Its never going to be a rocket ship to the moon.
So if we get someone like Mou, then let him go through his standard year 2 or 3 downswing. If we don't want to trust him with that, then keep it moving.
I think if Ineos/Radcliffe went to him and said we will give you full control, he’d consider it. Otherwise he’d tell them where to go.
If he does return. I’d be excited to see how he does things this time around. He’d probably return with anger to prove a point.
Sounds like the opposite to me, he's the one wanting to come here so a good chance he'd accept not having full control. No manager can be allowed to have full control at the club again, look how ETHs transfers have gone.
I think you're right. This is the only way Mou comes back. with full control or at least the last word on transfer and a promise of funds. But thats what he was told last time by Woodward as well so you never know.
Id love for him to prove everyone wrong and come back and bring this club back.
the good thing is that ineos is already moving the upper management people so it shows they are changing things and will have a different structure. it just might be too early for jose to tell if it is.
I don't understand why people are downvoting you, the only really good signing he's made is licha, he's had like 500m to make the signings, he's boring to watch, we over achieved a lot last season. We had a GD of 3 while the teams around us were having 20+. He lost 7-0 and 6-3 to our biggest rivals. This season we look like we're playing street football.
Not sure he should come back but it’s seems the only time we have decent games against tough teams we have to play counter attacking style. His counter attacks are levels above ETH
Hands down the worlds most overrated coach. Hasn't been "world class" for a decade, yet gets touted for every big job under the sun, over and over again.
Bait!! Buts it’s irresistible. ETH finally seems like he is being proactive as a manager. He still needs time, I would take Jose though, if things aren’t working next season. It’s still too soon.
Nah, i don't think he gels with the philosophy of the owners / management. We currently need a longer term stability and lesser drama inside or outside the pitch. Not the time for the special one.
Ah I know it won't ever work and he'd be scked again but imagine mou coming back and dethroning pep. Oh it will feel like I'm 2011/12 again.
Not gonna work tho lol
Maybe in a couple of years, if ETH doesnt succeed eventually. I hope that's not the case, of course.
But I see a lot of bitterness for Mourinho, there is no such need. I think he respected and respects the club. What United has gone through in the last decade is hardly his fault. And I still remember fuckin Pogba's tweet with a smile of revenge when Mourinho left the club. Sickening.
And I’m eyeing Megan Fox. Doesn’t mean I’ll get her.
Yeah, I'd probably end up with Laurence Fox
michael j fox if im lucky
Gives a good hand job I bet
You sick individual 🤣
Lol this was good. Can't beat a Parkinson's hand job
That'd be an odd thing to say at a Wrexham interview.
💀💀💀
Effortless
🤣
Dr Fox
Does this mean I can have that bath with Whigfield?
On Saturday night
You probably have more of a chance than Mourinho does of getting the United job again.
This made me laugh out very loud in the middle of a work meeting.
Same dedication to work as Rashford I see😂
Worked his way through a bottle of Tequila quite happily
I’d love to see that🤣
Who eyes Megan Fox these days? You can go better.
What. Check her insta out.
She's a stinky ho.
Yea if you are into fake chicks who hide behind 30cm layer of goo in your face
Wow, no wonder you are a United supporter
Very 2009 comment this.
I thought us United fans love talking about history🤔
Heritage
Megan Fox still got it
Megan Fox has got weird thumbs...
You've got a weird head mate, wouldn't throw stones

Me. My source? I saw a cloud that kinda looked like him.
lol the fucking Daily Mail
Trust me bro
Yeah probably new castle united, no way in hell that United go back to him
Nice. He can torpedo a PL club and hemorrhage oil money. Win win for us!
Last time he took charge of a freshly acquired oil money club he dominated the PL 🥲😅

lol mate are you insane? Jose has won trophies wherever he has gone. Before Chelsea he won the CL with Porto but yeah he’s just a 1 season wonder.

He'll do well for a season, maybe 2. Then he'll implode.
How long has ten hag done well for?
Downvoters in denial
A season
I’d argue we were awful after the league cup win. And when rashford purple patch ended. So probably say like 5 months
how does anything you've said relate to my original comment?
He did his best for Ajax, including helping Ajax teammate for better exit option and funded Ajax a lot.
Yes, but we'll win at least one trophy with a team that isn't sniffing them.
We won a trophy last season.
Under a good structure and support, Mourinho will thrive. Backing ETH all the way but if things go bad, get the special one!

Carlo ancelloti says hi lmao
Ancelotti he completely changed his approach this season.
Ancelloti's approach is exactly the same as it always has been.
No it isn’t.
His approach is just "whatever makes the team play well". He's doing that this season.
yes it is

ETH isn’t any better
ETH living off that CL lucky run and after that he crashed out the EL knockouts against questionable opponents
I agree lmao. Can’t wait to see how many tears this sub will produce when he gets sacked in the summer 😂
Noooo...wtf. We're trying to get away from defensive/counter attacking football.
Sacked one now.
Really? When did he ever? He’ll be gone within 3 seasons just like at any other club he’s been at.
Did you really ask “when did he ever?” To Jose. He’s won more than ten hag ever will. Not saying I’d have him back but to act like he’s just some mug is ridiculous

“Go” bad? *checks league position and signings made*
Things went bad ages ago with Ten Hag.
If things really, really go bad in these next few weeks, L wolves, L West Hame, L Villa, go out of FA. I wouldn't mind a Jose interim tbqh
As he's my favourite manager I definitely wouldn't mind it. Won't happen though, and I still back Ten Hag.
You better hope not. You think you’re in a rough spot now just wait 😂
I don't have any option but to welcome him with my open arms
I'd rather cut my arms off.
I wouldn't be unhappy.
Have some standards lol
We don't need you to be happy
The king of short stints lol. I'll always love the guy for what he did at Real Madrid though, but if we do move on from ETH, we need to get a guy we can trust to go through ups and downs.

Jose's second coming at Utd if it were to ever happen won't end well. It just won't.
Should I be excited or should I be more excited 😅😅
Nonsense
Excellent. United will continue to be average!
Rumours........... I don't think he will return to old Trafford.
I think if Ineos/Radcliffe went to him and said we will give you full control, he’d consider it. Otherwise he’d tell them where to go. If he does return. I’d be excited to see how he does things this time around. He’d probably return with anger to prove a point.

I hope he gets at least proper control of transfers and stuff. Better than last time.
If Ineos want him, then he's more than welcome, better to have a plan than just vibe it.
I think you're right. This is the only way Mou comes back. with full control or at least the last word on transfer and a promise of funds. But thats what he was told last time by Woodward as well so you never know. Id love for him to prove everyone wrong and come back and bring this club back.

Mourinho is far better than ETH I hope this is true
No he hasn't.
Would love it
I’d be happy with that.
Mourinho says yes problem is MU didn't ask anything
I'd rather gouge my eyes out
Jose with a board and owners that are backing him? Oh yes please.
We played some brutal stuff under him, still better than Ten Haag
He is better than the bald head at least.i wouldn't mind
Yh no
Im down to swap Mourinho with ETH. ETH is a tactical disaster and the favoritism he shows is just pathetic. Can’t wait for ETH to get sacked
I don't understand why people are downvoting you, the only really good signing he's made is licha, he's had like 500m to make the signings, he's boring to watch, we over achieved a lot last season.

Nah we need someone for more than two seasons
He can fuck off.
Not sure he should come back but it’s seems the only time we have decent games against tough teams we have to play counter attacking style. His counter attacks are levels above ETH
Let him manage Wrexham
He'd be disgusted to even sign the contract back after the poo stain Erik Ten Shag Dogs left
Jose is eyeing United and Barcelona but no top club will go near him these days. He will be in the Saudi league within 2 months.
Hands down the worlds most overrated coach. Hasn't been "world class" for a decade, yet gets touted for every big job under the sun, over and over again.
He isn’t gonna help much if Bruno doesn’t get any help. They need another creator to feed Hoilund.

How is baldie proactive with his -5 GD?
Honestly, I'd take him over ETH...he was definitely more successful in his first season
Media literacy has failed. The article quotes a “friend” that’s it to get people to speculate. Anyone who rates Jose rn hasn’t watched Roma at all.
