I would normally agree with you here but the club can't control what other parties say. Moratti has been informed and she has blurted it out because she can, s*** happens.

The Mail (don't laugh) says that Mourinho is 'out and about in London while claims about his future increase'. So there.
She's not a random Italian female. She's someone who could very plausibly be privy to something like this - and who should've kept her mouth shut about it, but hey, she's a bit of a blabber mouth and a bit of a diva, and presto.
The point is that the alternative version makes no sense: Why would Maureen's people instruct her to let a false bit of news about him going to United "slip" in this fashion? A false bit of news about him being open to going back to Inter - yes, that would make sense. But not this.
Excellent. Hopefully he brings Ibra on a short term deal.
Hasn't Mourinho been spending time with the Morrati family this week as well?
Good one Bedy.
Yes. He's in Milan and will watch Inter - Sampdoria tonight in the stands.
A random Italian female, like she's some banker down in Lecce who Tweets shitty transfer rumours during her break.
You think United are in control of Bedy Moratti and can dictate what she blurts out?
Yes, which is the background for the whole thing. She's an old friend of Maureen's. If Maureen-to-United is a done deal, it's more than possible that he told her (and her brother) about this - and that the old diva was a bit careless subsequently.
@ the 'random Italian female' comment.Jesus.
I am pretty sure Bedy Moratti isn't bothered one bit that she leaked this info assuming this info is correct.
She dont care I guess. Could be our stupid board care though.
Mourinho probably told her to leak it.
Hes in Milan for the match tonight though
If we were really in negotiations, or had finalised a deal with Mourinho there would be a secrecy requirement and Mourinho himself would know this.
You can believe this if you want, I'm not buying it yet.
It's on BT tonight. The camera will be on Jose all night.
Just how he likes it.
Well it is the Mail, after all; surprised they're not leading with bikini shots of 'Buxom Bedy, SuperWAG'.
I want this to be true, but I don't think Bedy Moratti has a clue, or maybe she's fecking with the press.
Sorry, I forgot she's a really important individual.
Jesus.
She's a random Italian female. A new moped and a crate of Valpolichella and she's yours.
You make it sound like United are good at keeping secrets.
Sorry, I forgot she's a really important individual.
She is as important as a member of our executive board, would you consider Arnold as a random english bloke?
Well, this is wonderful.
Random italian female? She is not.
In the same way we never heard about our talks with Van Gaal before Moyes was sacked? Except we did.
If we are getting him, might as well get him now.
Then hopefully he comes in, pisses someone off and gets sacked by the summer.

All it takes is a good bottle of vino, or two.
I think LvG is in a bad mood now. If United has kept him in the dark, he will probably resign himself. If not, fired he will be.
Someone else's quote.
In all seriousness this news, combined with Rio's tweet, leads me to believe that the decision has been made.
Yoda?
Thanks, Yoda.
Yoda?
This is the first time I've ever heard of her. Why would I have any interest in who or what she is?
Yoda?
What is the matter with you Wayne?!
