What was Jose thinking of, Zlatan and Lukaku?

My dad, a blue, is sticking a few quid on United to win the champions league.

Unlikely, but if we sign a couple of players who stitch it together, you just never know.

His words.

Lukaku is our top scorer

Ibra is one of a the very few players we have who you could class as a leader, something which we lacked against Leicester.

My dad, a blue, died in 1995

There’s more chance of him winning the champions league

Feel for the lad. Other than run back, cover and support the fullback, clearly isn’t receiving one iota of coaching.

Aye, that’s what I think when I look at his Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Madrid teams.

Give him the worst squad he’s ever had, and rely totally on his ability to pick a player to fix it and lo and behold.. you’re up shit creek.

Shit creek = two trophies last season and currently 2nd in the league and in the champions league second round.

It is also arguable, however, that a supposedly world class manager like JM should be getting more out of them than he currently is?

Progress is not linear.

That has to be on Mourinho. Why the £#%&! he persists with Rojo when he has Tuanzebe is beyond me. 1st goal on him entirely. Soft free kick given away when any decent CB would have got to the ball 1st & absolute piss poor attempt at defending. Summed it up for me. Burnley showed desperation to stop ute scoring, Utd ponced around the field waiting for someone to do something spectacular.

Been defending Rom all season but he was a complete statue today. 2 good goals jesse but that miss

sad when a clapped out right winger turned LB plays RB & is our most dangerous player

In what time frame?

At least Jose had the balls to drag him at HT. Never thought he would do that.

While Mourinho rightly gets stick for starting with two lumps up front, he also should get some credit for his subs at half time.

Brings on Lingard who bags twice to “rescue” a point.

Nevertheless, £#%&! off United you absolute turds.

I do wonder just what mourinho has to do before some people question him. how much time and money does he get before we can assess what we are seeing from his team and blame him?

He really isn’t. He looks after number 1.

Fergie also made some right weird choices in his time. We're second in the league due to oil billions funding the team above us. We're still in the FA cup and European Cup... Some £#%&!ing bedwetters on here...

Its not exactly doom & gloom. Are you one of those Utd fans who expects us to rule the World & win every trophy ? If not what do you expect ? Where should we be ?
The improvement under Jose since that idiotic crazy old Dutch bastard left is clear but you cant bring yourself to accept it & come out with shit like " yeah, the quality of the league has gone down ' to try to justify your indefensible stance

No, I expect to see progress, I’m not seeing any.

The quality of the league has diminished year on year for the last 10 years and is easily the worst it’s been since about 2001.

You should check where we finished the last 4 seasons.

Exactly. Poor little Jose and his shoe string budget and undermanned squad how can he possibly be expected to do anything than the bare minimum..
