Would you have Mourinho replace van Gaal?

If the job opens up in May I can't imagine them preferring Mourinho to Pep, surely?

Sir Bobby mainly, can't imagine he's overly thrilled with current football but who knows. Fergie backed him just last week don't forget and he's very much not a fan of the current boss.

Don't think it's a IF anymore. Ancelotti, Guardiola, Mourinho all available.

Football changes very quickly. There's plenty of time for the vibe around the place to change. Ask Jose

Very true.

But those managers won't be available the summer after if he gets a third year, United can't make the same mistake they did with Moyes.

Would take the Mourinho when he was at Chelsea first. Entertaining football and were £#%&!ing outstanding for a few seasons.

Not sure about Mourinho now though. The football had been awful to watch..

Thought they played some good stuff last year. Mainly down to Hazard.

They've been a mess this year, started in the summer.

Bayern will probably tie Ancelotti up before the end of the season. And I expect Mou to try and get back in at Madrid.

I know you and many others detest what Van Gaal is doing, but Pep absolutely will not. He'll see every day as another brick being put in place for something he can build on if he takes over. It would not surprise me if he was happy to let LvG do another year, especially if it meant overseeing a couple of important departures from the team. Plus Pep works so intensely; another break may appeal.

Yeah they did for the first 4/5 months. That team though with Robben/Duff on wings, makelele, drogba etc were £#%&!ing brilliant.

I wouldn't be shocked if Pep took another year off and spent it studying the art of building a defence

I personally think Ancelotti is the one but like you said, he's off to Bayern, shame because for me he's the perfect fit.

Agreed on Madrid, think they'll go for the flavour of the Euros as they always do.

Im all for Mourinho at United but those saying he was desperate to join and still is desperate to join need stop kidding themselves.

No idea what's so ever what they are basing it on and neither do they

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Ancellotti worked almost exclusively with sides that are the finished article, players at their peak and beyond? And then he's more of a cup manager than a league title winner. If have had him in immediately after Fergie but I wouldn't want him taking on the next stage of building and knitting a new, young team together.

If him publically saying he wants the job is 100 that's a 2

do you think pep will ever want to achieve anything on his own rather than taking over a series of cl winners?

(some would say that's our only hope of getting him. )

Was obvious he wanted it and always has done.

One thing for certain is if United don't perform on Saturday the knives will well and truly be out for LVG with Mourinho and Pep potentially being available.

Might leave early so I don't have to listen to the booooooooooo's

if people on here wet the bet about us being a bit dull under van gaal, what's it going to be like if mourinho is in charge?

for the record, i'd love it here. imagine the siege mentality and the bile from the rest of the country with him in charge

indeed. what could be better for someone who likes to be bigger than the club that being bigger than the biggest club in the world?

You think he'd rather go back to Chelsea and work for that owner again rather than take over from Ferguson?
