Fantastic post. Thanks for that I truly laughed out loud. Trivago. That's fantastic.Guys, it's all very simple!
Mourinho? The most successful.
Solskjær? The most entertaining.
Van Gaal? The best press conferences.
Moyes? The most Scottish.
Hotel? Trivago.
Now go on with your lives! Need I remind you that we have Ten Hag, Varane, Martinez, Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno?

Proper answer from someone with a clue. Thanks by the way.
Mourinho did that too
Don’t count apparently. You have to do it by finishing top 4 twice.
Oh yes, top 4 trophy beats actual (European) trophy. Silly me
Clearly finishing 3rd with 66 points is a much better and more enjoyable way into the Champions League than winning a European trophy. (we only finished on 69 points that season and won another shitty cup for what it’s worth).
Are the any factual wrongs? I mean, one could undermine the best away record, the goals or Man City wins to one’s agenda. But the stats don’t lie, do they? What your subjective take on it really don’t count.Funny the inacceracies in here since yesterday alone: "Only manager post-Fergie to get us CL 2 years on the bounce" and "got us to two cup finals". The mental gymnastics to paint his tenure in a positive light is one thing, but the blatant lies are fecking hilarious
It's factually wrong. Jose got us into two CL tournaments back to back.
No cup sets though. Ole deserves credit for that. Not one of those results was a shock loss. He respect the fan.
Erm, yes
He didn’t make two cup finals.
Jose also qualified back to back for the CL in both of his full seasons.
Ole left us a broken club. It was during his reign we made the worst investments ever. 80M for Maguire, 50m for AWB, 35m/DVB, 20m for Amad and 10m for Pellistri and 350k/wk for a goalkeeper have all left the club on it's knees financially. It's insane we actually offered Pogba 300k/ wk for a new contract. Maguire, AWB and DVB have little to no resale value especially on current salaries and are contributing next to nothing. Also if we sold Pogba earlier he wouldn't have walked away for free. Yes we had about 4 yrs to decide if he was good enough to persist with. Never underestimate the potential damage from offering an Ocean-liner like United to an unqualified Captain.
Mourinho as well was guilty for 75m for Lukaku and 89m for Pogba but at least Lukaku was re-sold for similar amount.

Oh don't be so melodramatic. If we were a "broken club", the blame is squarely at Woodward's door. It's his complete scattergun approach to transfers and managerial/staff appointments that brought us to the very pits. The deterioration started the minute he took the reins and continued until the day he left.
Yup, was a 3-year shit-show.
The worst part of all was all our players stagnating under him. Fat load of good even if we had world class players in the squad, he wasted 3 years of their careers and all of them will never recover from that.
