With our injuries even he wouldn't have a choice. Who else would have played in those positions?
BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

Interesting the fact that not a single other manager has managed to win La Liga for Real since Messi showed up and stopped getting injured all the time.
Perhaps your granny is who we should replace LVG with.
I personally think Pep won't hack it in the prem but that remains to be seen ..
And as for Madrid fans chanting for Morinho that was probably more because they wanted rid of Rafa than getting this over-rated clown back
He wouldn't have left our squad so decimated that we've had to RELY on youngsters to fill the matchday squad.
Look at what happened over the past 12 years since his Porto days - nothing but winning, trophies, and more trophies. He's the best manager in the world who is currently available, so its not a difficult choice.
They could have chanted "Rafa out" (or the Spanish version).
They could have chanted "Ancelotti" who won them La Decima.
They could have chanted a number of other things, but you just dismiss them chanting "Mourinho" only because they wanted Rafa out.
So, Pep and Mourinho aren't very good managers?
Wow. Tough crowd.
Who IS a good manager?
My granny was actually a match-going city fan until she died (possibly of boredom) in 2007
No you're right, he'd probably have signed the calibre of player that he did at Chelsea in the summer. That doesn't get mentioned too much when discussing his many flaws.
They could have chanted Giggsy. Dammit.They could have chanted "Rafa out" (or the Spanish version).

Chants of ''Jose Mouriniho'' in the away end the other week. That's before he is even actually our manager. The place would be buzzing at the start of next season. I am not a hige fan of the man, but he is easily the best option out there and possibly a perfect fit for us. It could turn out to be something similar to the success he had at Inter.
Bielsa, Poch, Blanc
This thread is going to the dogs!
Did he sign them this time though? I actually doubt it. They aren't his sort of signings and he sure as hell didn't want to sell Cech to Arsenal.
RIP and all that...
The last time we appointed a former City/Liverpool player as manager that didn't work out too badly, did it?
David Moyes, Ryan Giggs, they are all about the 'long term'.
Those are better managers than Jose/Pep?
Ancelotti is the only one who even comes close.
So when Chelsea were signing players who made a difference it was Maureen but it was someone else who signed the utter shite they did in the Summer?Bielsa is a maniac, Poch is still a rising star and Blanc hasn't done anything to suggest that he is top level.
you can add Ancelotti to my list ... thx
I give up, if you seriously think those 3 are better managers than Mourinho, I have nothing more to add.
Bielsa has principles, Poch is an excellent manager, and Blanc has utd history and is an excellent manager
Ancelotti speaks for him-self: Class vs cnut

good go away
Maybe not, but if it is someone else their judgement has gone seriously down the drain.
Bielsa and Poch have not won a trophy between them as managers.
Blanc had a good season at Bordeaux winning the league. Hard to judge him from his time at PSG as that team is lightyears ahead of anyone else in that league.
Weird how you dismiss Mourinho's accomplishments at Madrid as something your granny could do, but champion a manager who is at an untouchable club in their domestic league, much more so than Madrid are compared to the rest of La Liga.
That's ridiculous
That guy is just a WUM. I can accept people not liking Mourinho as a person or even his behaviour, but Bielsa a better manager?
The arguments (if you can call them that) being put forward by some of the people who dislike Mourinho are just bizarre.
Your arguments are found wanting when the logic is inverted - as in Bielsa is a nutter who rarely stays at a club more than a couple of years (one of Mourinho's main criticisms btw), Pochettino has won feck all, and Blanc has benefited by having been gifted a sugar daddy club full of superstars.
They are a better 'fit' at Utd - José just doesn't fit in with 'the utd way' .
My opinion and no amount of ridicule and peer pressure will make me change my mind.
The man destroys clubs he doesn't build for the future

Now what if both of them prove you to be completely wrong? What do you do at that point as a football fan, being shown up to be completely clueless about a sport you have invested so much time (and possibly money) into?
Yes we need a man who has stability and will build for the future
On 2 May 2014, Olympique de Marseille president Vincent Labrune announced the hiring of Bielsa as his team's coach on a French radio station. Labrune had previously confirmed an agreement in principle had been reached after the club's 0-0 Ligue 1 draw with LOSC Lille Metropole on 20 April. Bielsa signed a two-year contract, to begin after the 2014 FIFA World Cup, thus becoming the club's first Argentine coach.[27]
On 8 August 2015, after losing opening Ligue 1 match against Caen, Bielsa announced his resignation as the result of conflicts with his management .
Oliver Holt keeps pushing this Giggs story, it must be the 4th one he's wrote.
Isn't he a Liverpool fan?
Ì would agree that Bielsa is a nutter but he's our kind of nutter and would be endlessly entertaining.. Poch has not won anything yet but given the money and right players i'm sure he will, if it isn't with Spurs this time round. Blanc can only beat what is put in front of him including Morinho's Chelsea last year who ran away with the prem but strangely this time round completely failed to show up..
Anybody who can destroy a player of Hazards talent is not welcome here
beacause the management sold his complete team more or less ?
The United way isn't a static concept. It evolves with the club and with the times. We aren't going to have a quaintly patriarchal Scottish manager forever, nor are we going to be a club that prioritizes youth over success. That's the old way. The new way is the realization that we are in a globalized football construct where sugardaddy owners control the game, big transfers dominate the agenda, and United are in a sink or swim situation where clutching at the past/identity/youth/the United Way will result in the appalling mediocrity of the past 3 years. The only way to continue domination is to get the best manager in the world currently available.
He's still a very volatile character
As opposed to LvG who has creatively castrated every player he has managed over the past 18 months.
As for Mou, the players hate him and always celebrate when he leaves don't they.
Agreed but his teams play excellent football compare Marseille last year with this
