TBF any of our players who back LVG and don't want Jose can feck off. Probably the players that have let us down this season the ones talking the most, anyway.
Mourinho to United | Officially Announced

It proved to be the correct approach in the big matches under LVG - that was one of the main things he turned around after Moyes. Mourinho used a similar approach was very successful with it, there's a reason he had such a strong record against Fergie. Just the rest that he needs to fix. Not the right attitude, want our players to want to win not just get their freedom.
With the senior players refusing to accept criticism from the manager, I wonder how much of the problem is LVG?
Anyway, I hope Mourinho or whoever the new manager is to be utterly ruthless and cull these bunch of senior citizens with the delicate egos. These guys are suppose to lead the youth not sow discord.

Mourinho knows his stuff, he won't have a clear sale to reduce the unrest potential.
He'll slowly give them game time, and probably kill them off one window at a time.

When Rooney was attempting to leave, all the papers had the same story appear at 10 pm one evening. Later Daniel Taylor of the Guardian gave away that Rooney's agent had briefed the press on the matter. Same set of journalists (who in most instances have since been promoted to being senior football correspondents for their respective papers or have moved into more senior jobs at other papers) are reporting this story, not the current group who follow United and City on a regular basis.
Someone with an agenda handed the media this story. I'd say Rooney through his agent but Giggs would also be a candidate. Can't imagine any of the others would be so desperate to get the info out. They might talk of one journalist but I doubt they have a list. Rooney needs to keep the media onside in order to get in the England team. On form his place in the team is very much in jeopardy.
Can't decide whether this proves Woodward hasn't been dithering over the last few months, or whether it proves he has...
His wages keep going up every day
I don't think Van Gaal's playing style helped. When it's a well known fact, backed by statistics, that you're making a lot of backward passes and scoring less goals compared to the rest of the league, and struggling to even get in fourth place, it's hard for any set of players to have faith in the approach the manager has set.
I'd imagine if we were near the top throughout the season, putting up one nil wins, there'd be less unrest because it seems to be working.
This is why I am actually apprehensive about Mourinho. I don't think he plays negative football, but I think he thrives on negativity to succeed. He harangues officials, he picks fights with people, sometimes his own players and staff even. All this is good when things are going well but when they're not, not many would want to follow him down the path. This is evident by the way he usually leaves his clubs. People just get tired of his nonsense and feel that there are better ways.
*But I feel that he might just be a necessary evil, at this point.
It's as true as this : if you already believe it this is simply confirmation. If you don't already believe it then it's nonsense.How true is this?
Take your pick.
Forgive me if I can't muster up a single tear for the Glazers.
We were allegedly paying him £4m not to go to any other club when there was no other top club to go to. It's well known he's wanted the Utd job for years so even if there was a sniff of it why would he take another job and forego the chance of Utd?
If we did indeed do that it was a poor, poor piece of business.
If Mourinho knows what's good for him - he'll make it his business to find out and tell Woodward in no uncertain terms that they've got to go. This sort of attitude partly hampered us this season.. I don't want us dealing with this next season as well - especially with a volatile character like Mourinho. It'll turn into a nightmare probably and affect our performances on the pitch - which is all that matters at the end of the day.
I thought Moyes was the one "cut from the same cloth" as Fergie.
Giggs just needs to go. Can't stomach the man and I can't stomach the fact he thinks he is entitled to the Manchester United managers job.
Mourinho worked with Sir Bobby Robson in the 90s but didn't expect the managerial jobs to be handed to him. He left and made a name for himself. He's earned this job. Go do the fecking same Ryan.

Scouted some other teams' forums and this seems to be the general consensus among them:
Arsenal
Surprised that a "class" club like us would sign a "classless ****" as manager.
Generally worried and seemed resigned to the fact that they'll lose their fixtures against us.
Chelsea
Most don't resent Mou but felt that he had always wanted this job
Think that he will be winning trophies here
City
Don't seem to be worried (probably because they have Pep)
Mostly laughing at us for our treatment of LVG
Liverpool
Think we're desperate for resorting to signing Mou and hate us all the more now
Downplaying his previous achievements and think he's overrated
Thinks he will struggle to get top 4 here

DDG
Stones, Smalling, Marquinhos, Shaw
Rooney, Scheiderlin
James, Aubameyang, Martial
Ibrahimovic
Nice, only one midfielder, go go Mou
Really??? Our most successful player ever, a true one club player and responsible for some of the most exciting football I've had the pleasure to see. Apart from being unfaithful to his wife and wanting the United job (who wouldn't want it), what exactly has he done to upset you so much?
Well today is probably the day. I'm sure the Glazers, Ed, and Van Gaal haven't got much on today, so
may as well get together and thrash out a compensation package.

This article is shocking on so many levels. It also assures me that our best performances came from players not giving a single feck what the Idiot intrsuted them to play
Be interesting to see once all done whether the claim made back in January about him sending a dosier about how he would improve Utd etc was actually true- think it was Miguel Delaney for espn who made the claim originally?
Would love for us to get Marquinhos, Ibrahimovic and Higuian.
You aren't half sugar coating it there aren't you? Cheated on his wife for 8 years with HIS BROTHERS WIFE and countless others no doubt, I seen something in the paper 2 weeks ago even.
Who do you bench then, Martial and Rashford? Or do you really think Ibra and Higuain will sit on the bench?
Rashford shouldn't be a starter next season. We shouldn't be relying on 19 year old to get us 30 goals a season. Should definitely sign Ibra and two wingers.
I'd bench Rashford. There are plently of games to keep everyone happy, and I don't think we can put all our eggs on the Ibra basket without a proven goalscorer alongside him (purely because he's quite old and might have higher risk of injury). Rashford is young, he will get sufficient experience regardless imo.
I'm resigned to us getting Ibrahimovic, but I think Higuain suits us better. If given the choice I'd be one of the few that opts for the latter.
If you mean cotton then yes, but one is Harrods the other one is Tesco
To be fair they always think we'd struggle every year, even under Fergie
I expect no less in the gutter of the premier league, morals and values long vanished for the pursuit of money.
My thoughts exactly palExactly. We could have sacked him after the West Ham game (or about 50 times prior to that!).
Allowing him to go out on top (well kind of
Lol, without taking any note of other clubs' forums at all (except the RAWK thread here on the caf) that's pretty much exactly what I expected the consensus to be.
Why does his age matter? If he's good enough he's old enough, a cliché but nonetheless entirely true.
sure Jose cheated on his wife too a good few times
What Giggs did was terrible but he seems to be one of the few where we cannot separate his private life with football. No issue if you don’t want to see him as manager, but he is talked about like shit after giving 25 + years of service
Everyone seemed to be able to do this with George Best who lets face it was even worse than Giggs
