Bit soon after the fa cup but I guess its to keep the fans happy and stop all the speculation.

Of course not.. "Oh aye, you leaked the info early - deals off."
Ed and Mendes are very close as well. Don't worry!
Paddy on 5Live saying its all rubbish
Yeah that's fair.
Having said that, as I'm pleased with the appointment and still annoyed at LVG for saying fans' expectations are too high, I'm finding it hard to be too upset by the whole thing, no matter how classless.
I have to say he isn't my first choice as a Manager, but we needed a change. I just hope he doesn't get it all his way and that he is encouraged by the board to play youth. We will be signing a few players I think, but signing elite players will be a challenge nonetheless, even for Mourinho, as we are not in next season's Champions League.
No top managers are nowadays
Respectful? Mourinho?
Sure we are desperate to get rid of a guy who's sucked the love of football from us over the past two years, but let's not pretend we are getting some kind of gracious saviour here. Mourinho is a dick, just so happens it looks like he'll be our dick for a while.
Great news that Jose is on his way. Feel a little sorry for LVG but it's been coming...
That wouldnt surprise me.
@Acquire Me its safe to come out, looks like you were right all along.
Don't do it to us Paddy...
I really can't see how this benefits United.
What happened to longevity ?

Same. I'm a little bit irked by it, but United comes first. Appointing Jose as our manager is a fine move.
3 years too late. But better late than never I guess!
Hoping we get the mature, wise and respectful version of Mourinho who will quickly win friends and stay with us for a decade of success.

I admit I am not a massive fan of him, but that record is bloody brilliant.
Couldn't give a toss if Mourinho himself announced it at half time as long as it's done.
The hot girl didn't charge for bj.
I just worry about the youth players. Rashford is a cracking player and if he goes on a bad run for a few games and gets dropped for a ready made player then he could find it difficult to make it back it. Also with Lingard, wonder if Mourinho will rate him
Now you are being silly. That FA Cup win has gone to your head.
Hes ripping into the journo who broke the story.
Basically Paddy says he was just with them and Ed was very chummy with LvG.
Jesus christ Paddy having a meltdown. Get a grip.
Comparing our season to Liverpool's performance against Sevilla. Klopp hasn't spent £250m.

Good old senile paddy, kissing VG's ass
Yeah, he is. But he is loyal to the people he trusts though.
Sounds like he's gone.
Wow Paddy 
The truth is hurting Paddy I see.
I think during his second stint at Chelsea he was ready to stay for the long haul. Obviously shit happened though.
Paddy clearly knows nothing
Same feeling mate
Just couldn't fully enjoy the Fa cup win because I had a lingering feeling Lingards goal could have actually saved LVG.
Also I don't think United will mad about it:
Half the fans happy because of the FA cup win whilst the other half remained skeptical, now all fans can be happy + this means United in all the headlines for the enitre weekend and for once for all the right reasons.
And he is ok with it
Exactly, Pep Guardiola doesn't stay around long either.
Can we replace Paddy this summer as well?
They are if they're good enough.
I'm not too thrilled with Mourinho, but I hope hes successful here.
Itd be interesting to see how quick Utd fans here turn on him if it doesnt start well.

Sky running a slightly different story, but yeah, they are running it as well.

So the worst kept secret in football is out
I'm so freaking happy, great news to top off a trophy winning day

Well everyone would make the step across to Chelsea from Porto at that time I think, he was turfed out unfairly and early into his 4th season as their manager Inter was then only ever going to be a bridge into the Madrid job (which would have been a dream of his so who can blame him really ?) where again he was turfed out too early, he ran into one of the greatest club sides ever assembled and still landed a few shots on them. This season is the only real shock.
Not listening but Paddy is deluded. He didn't know about SAF leaving either..
