Returning is not the issue since they're are likely gonna go back, Jones for example. LvG will still continue his rubbish sub and with Europa Thursday matches, miracle is required.

Dadehmola:
And to think this Varane is only 24...

What an excellent defender!!

tess1:
What relegation to Mid table are you talking about? He met them 15th on the log and finished the season on 12th.



At least LVG has a pattern we all know he's trying to implement, only that his own is just too restrictive and docile. It is this same pattern Barca and Bayern are playing effectively to dominate teams and win games.



The same pattern he used to beat City at Goodison park. How many times throughout his 11 years at Everton did he go away to Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd to win? And it continued when he came to Man Utd. The worse of it was that the Everton that he left did the double over Man Utd for the first time since 1969. He visited those grounds a whooping 44 times without a single victory and you call such a team "the feared team outside the top four"! Why didn't he use the same pattern to win at least once out of those 44 visits?

What financial wastage would he have saved us when he was the one who started it with buying over-priced Fellaini?



Mourinho can be excused because he was a champion and has always been a champion. If not, why will there be so much rumours of him coming to Man Utd? As things stands now at Man Utd and you are given the opportunity to choose between Moyes and Mourinho. Who will you choose? That is simply the difference between them.

tess1:
This is just an excuse. It is simple, Moyes was incompetent for Man Utd.

When Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra have past it, why didn't he find adequate replacement for them in January transfer window?

Our football had no direction under him. We had no particular playing pattern other than players running around on their own volition. Sometimes, players will be huffing the ball up aimlessly. We all know that we made the highest number of unsuccessful crosses into the box under him. His style of play shattered a lot of players confidence and these are players who just won the premier league.

A coach that will have a one goal lead and all he's thinking was how to defend that one goal lead when he's supposed to be thinking of how to score more goals. He'll take out an attacking player, bring in a defensive player and will eventually lose or draw the game. Is that a competent coach.

He refused to play some players while overplaying other players. He also over-trained a lot of players which resulted in a lot of injuries in training.

His transfer dealings were appalling. He left realistic targets like Alcantara and Hererra chasing Bale, Khedira, Fabregas only to end up with Fellaini at a price higher than his buyout clause.

What about his pre and post match comments? They were disgraceful for a coach of Man Utd stature. Is it a defeatist comment like "They may well be favourites. Their league position suggests they are ahead of us and they possibly do come here as favourites" ahead of a home game against Liverpool. Or a post match comment after a loss to Man City where he said he would have taken a draw against Cardiff before the match or where he said "I don't know what we have to do to win" after a loss to Stoke city. Al these attest to the fact that he's grossly incompetent.

He crashed a defending champion to number 7 spot on the league. If he was given another year, i am sure we would have been in relegation battle.

I can go on and on with how incompetent he was. He also dragged ordinary Real Sociedad to relegation before he was sacked. He couldn't win at home in the season he was sacked gaining 15 points out of possible 42 points. What does that tell you?

His successor at Sociedad who was a Team B coach at Barcelona have won 22 points out of possible 39 points with the same players taking the team from 17th position to 10th on the league table.

tess1:
Lol. Na real war o. I go even body slam am sef. He started this problem we have right now. He shattered the confidence of a lot of players with is incompetence.

tess1:
He's talking crap. He's just not good enough for our team whether he admits or not.

thedio:
pundits r not always rite,honestly they av no excuse and that tactic reason u mentioned is for a team leading wit atleast a goal. If ur team is loosing by 2goals or more u run to d net and pick d ball for a quick restart but nacho goal was an equalizer @ 74th minute which giv them al the time in this world to jubilate,demoralize their opponent and win d game. Every player has their way of cerebrating goal nacho can run to anywhere to celebrate his goal provided he did not leave d pitch he is on point.

nyabinghi:
Still believed moyes was prematurely sacked. He would have saved us the amount of wastage by LVG. Lvg should go and manage ado den haag. Giggs should be the new manager supported by ole gunnar solskjaer or vice versa. They are reds to the bone and will do their best to see united back to the top. Mourinho is a spendthrift manager and will cause the club to spend more than normal again. If mourinho gets the job then I will shift to my second team full time.

lookandlaff:
it was mentioned yesterday that Ihenacho ran towards the wrong corner. I didn't quite get the explanation so don't quote me on this but it was explained on the pundit show last night something about teams having a place where they usually celebrate for tactical reasons so as not to give the opponents an advantage in case of a quick restart and Ihenacho running to the wrong corner to celebrate or something like that.

So no it's not Buhari to blame

GloryIsaac:
There's no denial that Messi is king, abeg just bow down to Messi... (still a CR7 fan though )

GBR1:
I thought you guys claimed initially it was a masterstroke from Gaal to trim the squad so ridiculously, and more genius of him to play youths when it obvious he gave himself no other choice...

AdeLaNa1:
Nothing spoil.
Leicester's next 5 league games:

Norwich (H)
West Brom (H)
Watford (A)
Newcastle (H)
Palace (A)

raumdeuter:
WHy not Leicester

GBR1:
To be frank it's not fair to judge some players or anyone under Van Gaal. Over two seasons, the only person who's actually thrived under his leadership is the one who has had the least to do with Van Gaal and his coaching. i.e. the goalkeeper.
LVG is terrible. Now he expects us to win Europa with Dortmund, Napoli, and a lot of spanish clubs in it when we can't even beat relegation teams like sunderland?

ChristineC:
But nobody forced Loius van Gaal to sell the whole squad. He had all the tools to succeed in Old Trafford but he's blown it. Perhaps he's just lost on modern coaching techniques.
The next manager should learn from his basic mistakes, the club cannot afford to keep having a merry go round.

GBR1:
Mendes would come in handy. He's their agent. If mourinho comes in, DDG is going nowhere.

GBR1:
Say whatever you want, we need to move on from a lot of poor players. Rooney is one, he shouldn't be leading our attack or any top team with title aspirations.

Caveatemptor:
Giving Giggs this job will expose him to ridicule. Giving Giggs the job will expose the whole Manchester United establishment to more ridicule. He lacks coaching experience and will be worse than Gary N at Valencia. This is not a time to appoint a coach/manager on sentiment. I have followed Giggsy for all his career and admit he bleeds United through all his veins. The man for this job is Jose Mourinho. The players will respect him and our opponents will fear him.
Get Mourinho in and attach Giggs to him in whatever capacity so that when Mourinho finally blows a gasket(and he WILL blow a gasket) Giggs can finally step in after Mourinho has laid the foundation.

chrisley024:
Morgan makes long pass jare. Do you even watch him?

GBR1:
Rooney deserves more blame than he gets. Even when we were on a good form early this season, i remember us dropping points simply because Rooney failed to score. He started this year better obviously, but if he had started the season the same way, surely we would have had more points by now to see us through these difficult times.
I remember everything. In fact, i'd say Rooney has done more harm to us than the good Martial has provided.

nyabinghi:
I wonder o, back to the rooney bashing. LVG is the worst coach in the history of man utd. Give him 1 billion dollars, he will bore you to death, mourinho won't win jack with this team. LVG chased away the guys with winning mentality in the game. Give giggs the job and get him some good players and see united bounce back. With mourinho it is gonna be anyhow "un-united" soccer.

GBR1:
Keeping Rooney is a lone striker is a huge reason for our problems imo. Any striker worth his salt, has either hold up play, pace or good technical ability, the current Rooney has none of those and it really hurts us in attack. He can't hold of defenders, he never makes any clever moves and we all know his dribbling is just abysmal...
No real united fan would say no to Mourinho at this point.

airmark:
Rooney that was motm last against chelsea? Elampiro will fight you.
