I clicked the link on that tweet and an advert covered my screen with just the word CANCER. Make of that what you will.
Maybe Van Gaal will end up as Director of Football.
Reliable?
For the love of Fergie, don't tease me. How reliable are El Confidencial?
Excuse me for a little while.
Why wait until the summer, kind of undermines the current manager?
So thats Spanish and Italian media claiming the same thing over the last 24 hours?
Looks to be legit

Lads it's not true, the same company that did that Rex Secco to Arsenal bs in the summer are at it again with Jose. I follow the companies CEO on Twitter and he is tweeting about setting off all the rumours.
Rumours trace back to Italy or Spain?
I call bullshit!! These guys are just bored and trying to make a story
This polll is really not a good representative of the current opinion. It was started a long time ago, and with Guardiola now gone, it'd probably be around 90/10.
Whether it's true or not, we can't just wait and hope whoever we want is still available in May.
I'm pretty sure the rumors are 100% accurate.
You have to look at it logically. United are not being run as sloppily as some people have been suggesting here over the past few weeks. The club has simply not made progress over the last two years, although I do believe LVG would have turned it around eventually, as he is an excellent coach. But seeing as he's intending to retire next year anyway, it's not as if they can rely on him for long anyway. And so preparations will have been made to replace Van Gaal, but there's no need to fire the entire coaching staff mid season. Better to keep things settled as they are and hope that VG can dig deep into his experience and push us into the top 4. United still need to be seen as a club that doesn't panic, and treats people with integrity. I can't think of many managers who have such a strong character as Mourinho, and he seems ready to take the challenge on. His egocentric desire to be regarded as the savior of a massive club like United makes the current situation tailor made for him.
Not only do I think Mourinho will take over at the end of the season, but I think he's already looking at players, and this is probably where the rumors have been leaked in Italy. Mourinho and Mendes are eyeing up players.
Could be wrong, but this is where my money is.

I think this the rumours are spot on. It makes to much sense, and the sources are quite reliable.
Good post. I agree.
This better be true!
post tweets?
Interesting that they seem so sure of their source, wonder if the English press will pick up on it soon.
We might have wanted Pep? We'll never know but I think it's better in someways to hire afterwards, as a response as opposed to someone being responded too. So us calling for LVG may have been wrong to do so for now. I think LVG is a lucky man in some respects, that no one situation was completely ideal. I agree that Joses probably already got the job, but I think we don't want to play our hand just yet. It seems to me typical of City to announce it early. I think we don't want to sack LVG. I think we want to give them every chance to win trophies here but ultimately, LVG will retire - hopefully a winner.
Twitter rumors maybe but I think it will be true anyway. I can't see him getting a new contract and few players will want to sign for a guy with only one year left.

Yeah, I agree with the gist of this. I hope that we do get Mourinho at the end of the season, it feels right to me
Not so confidential anymore!
What exactly are you saying? You think LVG is going or seeing out his contract? lol
Hope so and once again the useless English press are as left behind as we are supposedly in their click bait stories.
I'm not going to lie, he doesn't excite me but he's 100times better than Giggs.
...said Rhodri's wife.
Savage.
For what it's worth 90% of our summer transfer stories that turned out true broke abroad before they broke here.
Sweet sanity I can taste it from here....
IF I was a gamblin' man, I know where my bet would fall.
I hope it's true. He's exactly the sort of calibre of manager we need.
Enough of this Giggs pish. Time to bring some standards back.

Apparently COPE reporting this now. Jose to United in the Summer.
Haha, imagine if they bought adjacent flats.I like the bit about Guardiola worried about having to deal with Mou being in same city, potentially as 'neighbour.'
Good enough source for me
Investors probably know Mourinho can bring more prestige and most of all commercial attractiveness in bigger dose than LvG but we have to be careful here and I think we already are by playing it cool to the rest of the season, that being said it could be just a media maneuver to spice up the atmosphere before upcoming league match.
He had a terrible season in England plus that Carneiro incident... I'm just not sure of this yet but at least maybe it will motivate players and LvG to double the efforts while he's still not retired.

Always said this was definitely going to be on... Sure as hell going to be an exciting premier league next year. Pep and City, United with Mou, Liverpool with Klopp, and then Chelsea possibly getting Simeone in. Wouldn't be surprised to see City, United and Chelsea all spend over 150m in the summer.
Last week a lot of people convinced United had gazumped City to Pep and this week everyone convinced Mourinho is coming in the summer.
I'll believe it when I see him sitting at his desk with his United mouse mat...
