Mourinho sacked.

To be honest there's so much talent at that club, providing you don't upset them, they're good enough to get results on their own with minimal input from a coach. And that's what upsets me about the game today. The tail is now wagging the dog and with the money they earn they should be prepared to give 100% irrespective of whether they like the manager or not. For that reason I'm hoping that United will crash and burn and that Pogba & Co will be kicked out on their arses. I've not forgotten, nor will I EVER forget, what Monk and player power did to Laudrup and our club.
I'm sometimes surprised SAF doesn't get more flak for this. His retirement plans were ruined when Aguero scored to take City top, so he stuck around for one more season so he could go out on high. He always had a knack for moving players out of the club at exactly the right time and regenerating the squad in the process, but he knew he didn't have enough time for that. So he let the transfer plans lapse, let a peaking and creaking squad win him his happy ending, and then handed Moyes the leftovers with zero succession plans in terms of players. And once Moyes was in and SAF was out, and the results and football started to nosedive, the club's power to attract players went with it. Sure, the guy probably earned the right to be a little selfish, but in my view, that extra year was the catalyst for all United's struggles since - and all caused by City, to boot.
As long as it works today I don't much care what happens to them afterwards.
