Piss poor tonight, made even more shameful by the sick chants from a section of the United supporters.
Too damn right Fergie was shaking his head, that was appalling. Liverpool's shite keeper wasn't even tested, that's how bad it was.

Made even more shameful by the sick chants from a section of the United supporters. Chants of that nature have been occurring at United-Liverpool matches for as long as I can remember. Tempting though it is to hop aboard the moral outrage bandwagon, when a chant is intended to provoke a reaction perhaps the better choice is to ignore it altogether.

And nobody expected them to beat Arsenal (who are better than Liverpool let's be honest). But I thought LVG got it wrong last night - get it right next week and there's a massive chance for them to go through (I thought Rashford was wasted on the right). Starting Fellaini was a big mistake - a terrible signing for them that should be nowhere near a club of United's standard.

Mr. van Gaal, please don't speak any English word. You embarrass us and the whole Netherland. No one in England has a problem with his English. If i was dutch i would be more embarrassed by the national team post Van Gaal, when you are not even in the top 24 teams in Europe.

In fact I'm glad that we're not playing for upcoming European championship. Peace in the town and no orange madness. and guigsysEstring, yes, van Gaal's English is worse than McClaren's Dutch accent.

Not entirely sure I understand the reasoning - a lot of the reason for why LVG being sacked was for his boring style of football. If you're looking to reverse that, I'm afraid to say that Mourinho isn't your man.

Not entirely sure I understand the reasoning - a lot of the reason for why LVG being sacked was for his boring style of football. If you're looking to reverse that, I'm afraid to say that Mourinho isn't your man. The whole way Manchester United has been run in the last few years hasn't been the best, and I say this as an Everton supporter who should be enjoying their fall but I am not because it's all self made. The late Malcolm Glazer acquired the club through a highly leveraged move that not only put the club heavily in debt but also increased liabilities as the club became a security for the Glazer family's ailing shopping malls which had fallen technically insolvent by 2010 with debts of £1.1 billion. At least £680,000,000 has been spent by Manchester United on bank charges, fees and servicing debt during the family tenure, whilst the bizarre flotation on the NYSE allowed the family to raise $233,000,000 by selling off a block of 'A' shares whilst not needing to reinvest it in the club as they had retained control via the 'B' shares which have ten times the voting rights of the listed shares, which begs the question as to why anyone else would have invested in the first place aside from a speculative gamble on the Glazer family eventually selling up. Jose Mourinho is the latest band aid or sticking plaster to a deeper problem. The man undoubtedly has a winning pedigree despite the blot from last season at Chelsea FC, but this has been built from spending heavily in big names during two to three year tenures rather than developing a squad of improving players mixed with youth promotions and the occasional marque signing- Give Me Sport- Mourinho Spending I do think although I hope I am wrong that the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard will suffer due to Mourinho's policies, and may ultimately be forced to move on to further their careers or risk becoming nearly men. The boring football philosophy argument is a bit misleading, as a lot of Man Utd supporters still don't seem to comprehend this is possibly the weakest Manchester United team since the inception of the Premier League- Take David de Gea out of it and who else really would walk into a top Bayern Munich (arguable with Neuer), PSG, Barcelona or Real Madrid side? The quality to "attack, attack, attack " simply hasn't been there IMO without risking getting caught on breaks and losing even at Old Trafford regularly, which would have seemed a ridiculous concept even a few years ago. Mourinho is probably a good short term bet if you are going to back him with hundreds of millions of pounds to restore the team in Europe, although without CL football who they can attract remains to be seen. The problem IMO is two fold in that yes a change in ownership to try and undo some of the financial damage of the last decade needs to happen, which in itself is not a short term recovery, but also the spectre of Sir Alex Ferguson and particularly the 'Class of '92' has to go as well. This may sound heretical to hardened United supporters but with Sir Alex retired yet still on the shoulder of any new man how are they to move forward in developing their own teams over a long term period, and as to Ryan Giggs I am baffled by the call from some quarters to appoint him as manager- where has he shown that he has a first rate managerial capability or the requirements to manage a club of this stature, aside from the irrelevant argument that he is one of the greats from a classic era? In countering that position so is Steve Bruce of Hull City, and I doubt his appointment would fill Old Trafford season ticket holders with joy. The future of Manchester United is to either begin the healing and rebuilding process as a major force or risk joining the likes of Liverpool in a slide towards irrelevance in the biggest European competition and world stage, or even worse Aston Villa, Everton (sadly ) and even Leeds United who through a combination of lack of spending, leveraging debt for non-football purposes and reckless spending that didn't come off have been marginalised from the top of English football where they once were, and which as we their supporters can tell you is a long road back from.

Gutted for LVG - I think the years will he kind to him and people will actually notice the service he gave to the youth team. Treated terribly by the press and glory hunting fans who don't realise the importance and community connection that local lads bring to the club.
Can Mourinho do the same - I doubt it, but there's absolutely no excuse for him not to give the likes of Rashford and co their chance now.

Can Mourinho do the same - I doubt it, but there's absolutely no excuse for him not to give the likes of Rashford and co their chance now.Not an excuse but historically he isn't known for giving youth players many chances, with twenty eight loaned out for Chelsea in the 2015/16 season.I do hope that he at least sees Rashford, Martial and Lingard as established players rather than regressing their careers, although even if he does this I expect him to follow his usual big spending as opposed to further developing young players at the club instead of loaning them out until they leave. A good example for an Evertonian like myself is Romelu Lukaku, loaned off to WBA then Everton before being signed permanently, with Jose Mourinho criticising him for not wanting to stew in the Chelsea reserves. If the Goodison Park rumour mill is right that same club are preparing a £65,000,000 offer to bring him back two years after selling him for less than half that fee to Everton.

Rashford is the next big thing, everyone knows I hope it goes well for ManU and Mourinho.... although I still want him back at Chelsea..... EPL has now got Jose, Wenger, Pep, Conte, Poch and Klopp..... bring on next season!
