When do deals like that ever happen?
Eto+cash for Ibra
Matic+cash for David Luiz
er...
Keith Gillespie+cash for Andy Cole
Bit of a gap in the middle there.
How can you not love JoMo now?
So which position will he play.
I missed that.
Looks like Mou is getting business done early and not wasting too much time waiting to bring new players in. It also helped that he had time to analyze us for 6 months or so. I like the direction we are going and that we don't lose too much time with players who are actually unattainable

Couldn't be further from Moyes if he tried. LVG had his Holland commitments so you can't really blame him for starting late but Mourinho has wasted no time.
Sorry, but Moyes had us playing decent football? The football under Moyes was absolutely horrific. It was dull, lifeless 'percentage' football a la Tony Pulis, but with better players. He also lost. A lot. To good teams and bad. Whatever the numerous flaws in LVG's rein, it was a picnic compared to Dave's.
Probably El Confidencial chose some obvious names to do an article.We will see,the summer has just started.It's not the best source in the world but is not the equivalent of The Express either.
Perhaps I am crazy but the part of Shaw being loaned looks reasonable.
He is a fantastic player but had one of the worst injuries for a player.Is he already shooting or still with physio?.
I remember Manuel Pablo(right back) had the same injury.When he came back he was afraid in the tackles and many times fighting for the ball he decided to retire the leg to avoid the contact.
I imagine Mourinho demanding a intensity that he can't provide yet.I think that the intensity and requirements won't be inferior in FA games or Europe.
Perhaps he could get more minutes in a club not so demanding until he is not afraid anymore

Jose looks genuinely happy to be with us. I suspect that the speculation about him having a hard on for this job for years are true.
And the "my house" comment

What's this stuff about Moyes getting us played decent football?
When did that happen exactly?

Maybe some people only saw your first game against Swansea under Moyes then assumed that the rest was more of the same?
Something like that. Rewriting history.
You can see it can't you? In a few years people will be saying how LvG had us playing like Barcelona
That "my house" comment makes me think, the man is not only in full control but wants to be here for some time.
Cant wait for the friendlies, the Charity Shield and the season to begin.

Maybe they remember the bayer neverlosin 0-5 away game. Was some performance to be fair. But a rare shinging light in a sea of gloom.
Nice one.Borrowed from reddit.
Don't think he ever called Stamford Bridge "my house".
The difference in love he has for us and Chelsea is staggering.

He's going to absolutely own it here, isn't he? I'm convinced by him already and he hasn't even done anything.
First priority for him I think is to sort out our atrocious corner taking. Bugger everything else.

"My House"
Feels very natural to have in the stands at OT tonight.
This club was made for footballing leaders like him.

It seems he had a little boy's voice in his head like RVP which said 'go to United'.
He's loving it, every part of it, so great to see really.

Pele secretly raging he didn't arrive in time to meet LVG and learn the Way of the Horny.
Is this guy good in a midfield 2.
Knowing him he almost certainly wasn't.
We're signing Pele!
Well we've already got the white one, so it'd be nice to get the black one too.
Seeing Mourinho refer to Old Trafford as 'My House' makes me horny.
I think he knows he has a board that will not interfere with his work, when he has that kind of employers and he is managing one if the biggest clubs in the world that rivals Madrid, yes we know they have 11 european cups to our 3. But he knows he has walked into a job with no drama at boardroom level, there is pressure but there is no perez, no roman, this really is the holy grail of jobs for him. Its the club that he defeated that really did put him on the map, he was always going to manage here and I will be fascinated how he works at a club that is not run like warlord
We're going to loan out Shaw ffs lmao!
"At my house, Old Trafford"
Jesus, how could anyone who saw it forget the Fulham game. Worst football I've seen by a professional side.
More crosses than this hill ffs.
Wut?We're going to loan out Shaw ffs lmao!
Nothing story.
"Spanish newspaper El Confidencial claim he could be sent out to another club to rediscover his best form.
However, a move would be a surprise given that new manager Jose Mourinho is believed to be a fan of the 20-year-old.
Mourinho tried to sign him as Chelsea boss in 2014 but baulked at the defender’s wage demands and he eventually joined United in a £30m deal."
Looking at the number of effusive reactions (and the poll numbers too, wow, 63% couldn't be happier as of now) is making me realise more and more that I belong to the more apprehensive crowd. While he has a proven track record for winning, a can't-help-but-grudgingly-admire level of cunning, and a personality worthy of managing one of the best clubs, the style of football he usually encourages isn't the best of look at. I know we've faced some rank football these last three years, and even some trademark anti-football will look better if its effective, but it still won't be the 'United way' we've grown up watching and fallen in love with. He certainly *seems* more mature now, and hopefully he will be more concerned about building a long-lasting dynasty replete with a healthy dose of United youth, but we don't know that for sure.
Given the options available, I am quite happy, but not ecstatic. To be completely honest, I really wanted Klopp here. He would have been the perfect fit, more so than anyone, even the Special One. It feels really strange to welcome Mourinho here instead. That said, I really want to be proven wrong. Hopefully ten years down the line I'll be looking at this post and grinning wryly at my skepticism.
