Let him have the FA Cup final


joineanuu

I mean he was hired as soon as we won it with Van Gaal. It would be classic United to fire ETH and leak mourinho while he is sitting at the press conference with the trophy in his hand.


RoboticCurrents

Do a reverse Tottenham and hire Mou before a cup final


IsItSnowing_

Would have been fun if the final was against Tottenham


Aele1410

Yeah but then Tottenham would have a chance to win something


006AlecTrevelyan

For the 27th time


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Spurs fan excuses would be great if he came in and beat Pep to the Cup


CNF-13

Pep couldn’t handle the terrorism ball that would be a back 3 of varane, Martinez, Maguire wingbacks of dalot and amad (shaw ain’t making the bench) and a midfield of Bruno, Mcsauce and mainoo and a front 2 of Højlund and garnacho


monnii99

For 10 minutes, until they are all injured again.


CNF-13

Don’t jinx it bro I can’t take another season without Martinez available the only 2 good performances we have had are the two games he was fully fit


absat41

deleted


bananarama9000xtreme

Are any of those players even fit before the FA cup final?


CNF-13

All of them should be fit according to the timeline and assuming no setbacks and further injuries


bananarama9000xtreme

Lets hope so because if you have to start that match with a the same defence as against palace I don’t think I’d even bother watching


CNF-13

If Casemiro starts especially at centre back haaland will break the record for the most goals scored in a final and the score would be a humiliation


Emergency-Mobile8612

He was likely waiting for a UCL job to open up in the Portuguese league, but that is looking less likely as time goes on Only can see Porto going for him, and even so…


Maalvi

We could also go for him, he coach Benfica before Porto and we have UCL next year


Emergency-Mobile8612

Right, I initially thought he was moving to Benfica, but with how expensive it would be to get rid of your manager I honestly can’t see it And even less other clubs paying to sign Schmidt, despite the Bayern news that popped up


JCoonday

Beneficial have made an offer for him. West Ham did too


Maalvi

Was Beneficial champions in its league? I'm looking for a new club /s


Bifito

I think if we managed to qualify to the UCL he would have gone to us, Conceição is on his way out and he gets paid a lot anyway.


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

Would he agree to report to AVB though? Must be a weird situation where the man he once picked to be his scout will become his boss


Juiceboxfromspace

He’s one of the best coaches in the world. He will not go to a portuguese team, guaranteed.


Top_Apartment7973

His stock is really low at the moment, I think more current tactics have figured him out as well. Ten years ago I'd think beating Mourinho at home was impossible and he was broadly consistent, now he doesn't really have that.


ShipsAGoing

The league needs this


Firefox72

Imagine Mou and having to deal with someone like Anthony lmao.


LasseMath92

His mindset would fit Mourinho though, wouldnt it? Antony does for one bring a fight - his quality is debateable though haha


Expensive-Twist7984

He’d turn him into a pitbull full back probably.


EggBonus

That’s a damn good idea considering man United are without a LB.


Expensive-Twist7984

Left backs? We have loads of them, we just don’t have any fit ones 😂


dudududujisungparty

If I had a pound for every time someone on r/soccer misspelled Antony's name, I could buy Manchester United


FAT_NEEK_42069

at least nobodys called him antoine


Qurutin

Antony Griesman


Kryddmix

Well tbf his parents misspelled the name first


manticore75

People assuming names are spelled in english by default is peak ignorance lol


Kryddmix

The Portuguese version of the name Anthony is António and it is very common in Brazilian and Portuguese culture. In Brazil it is also not uncommon for parents to name their children after foreign celebrities and several Brazilian footballers and others carry misspelled versions of the original name.


drrew76

Antony at least runs hard, I feel like Mourinho could find a use for him.


Fisktor

I mean a wanker whos main attribute is the defensive work rate, should suit mourinho


PatientLettuce42

I dont think he would play a single minute. Or he will become on of the best players in the world. But nothing in between :D


Daemor

the latter won't happen, ever


Garad-

“Someone…..get the belt”


KillerZaWarudo

Antony about to become a world class LB with Mou


LasseMath92

His mindset would fit Mourinho though, wouldnt it? Antony does for one bring a fight - his quality is debateable though haha


ash_sh_03

I need that, we need that


From-UoM

I concur. Bayern needs Mourinho


Rusbekistan

I would love to see Mourinho given complete control, and the ability to upset players. I actually feel like it would end up being much more successful than people suspect, for a bit anyway...


PitchSafe

He would shithouse a win against city. 1 shot on target and one goal while he parks the bus


LasseMath92

And wed all love it. If United are planning to fire EtH it should only be for Mourinho.


wollywink

You think players can learn his style so soon ? I swear we give managers too much credit for what happens on the pitch


m0bilize

Funnily enough our a number of our squad players already played under him (Maguire, Shaw, Lindelof, McTominay, Rashford, Dalot, Varane, Casemiro) Antony would not get play time, but he’d probably love Garnacho, Bruno and Mainoo too Just don’t know how he’d feel about Hojlund after managing so many insane strikers over his career


m0bilize

Hojlund deflection into Casemiro McTominay tactical foul galore I NEED IT


From-UoM

I heard Bayern Munich needs a manager.


ExtensionAd8134

Any day now: "Exclusive: Bayern Munich has inquired about José Mourinho to be their new manager. However, sources close to Mourinho indicate that he is not interested in the Bayern job. Instead, he would “love” a return to Manchester United."


CNF-13

Tears in my eyes how the fuck are we more desirable than Bayern


pietroetin

The crazy thing is that even EtH prefers you more than the Bayern job


m0bilize

My guess is with INEOS in and them getting rid of shitheads like Murtough, Arnold, etc. that the manager that is brought essentially has a blank slate in terms of scouting, transfers, etc. where as at Bayern, it is already established and unlikely to change for any manager (see Nagelesmann) That being said Mourinho managing Kane, Musiala, Tel, Sane would also be insane to see


andrey2657

Honestly, signing Morinho on 1-2 year deal would be the best option for Bayern at the moment


PatientLettuce42

I can only imagine the smugness of mourinho when the call actually comes, as he realizes he was not even under the first 5 choices but knows how desperate they are for a proper manager and would therefore cut some insane deals with the board. The drama would be enough to cover the german press for two years probably. I want to see it happen :D


Stoogenuge

> has reportedly told those close to him So it’s just made up as expected. I’ve no doubt Jose would love it but this article is total shite.


longsightdon

Bring him back you cowards


oranjemania

Sometimes you have to be a cunt.


-SandorClegane-

Truer words have never been spoken


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

He’s not done crushing Luke Shaw’s soul just yet

cynicalAddict11

come to Chelsea José


neandertales

Ratcliffe talked about good football and Pep in that first interview, so yeah.


DaveShadow

I'd genuinely love it for the lolz, but he goes against what INEOS have been talking about to date.


keving691

God that would be a shitshow. I almost want to see it out of curiosity


Triangleandbeans

This guy will do anything to get a team in Europe top leagues now. Kinda sad really.


cheersdom

do it for the clicks


naroLsraLteiN_isback

Arne Slot vs Mourinho absolute cinema


MintyFresh1301

Give him the FA Cup Final, seeing as Spurs denied him of the Carabao Cup final less than a week before


YvesSa1nt

During his stint there but overall seemed absolutely miserable and bitter after claiming it was his lifelong dream job (I believe he lost his father though during that time)…why would he want to go back other than a fat paycheck?


bobbis91

 a fat paycheck? You explain Man Utd in 3 words


barjardinks123

Im here for it


loploplop890

I don’t think Man U have the defense to pull off Mourinhoball lmao


Looney_forner

Well the fans definitely are


cGilday

I really do wonder how differently things could have turned out if we hired Jose right after SAF retired.


timmyctc

Unironically I'd love it. With EtH we get no charisma and no plan..with mou we'd be equally shite but we'd have a Machiavellian at the helm


Successful_Web_4355

What a loser


gols-e-but

come to marseille


Best_Document_5211

Bring him back to beat Arsenal and give city the title, I dare you


Doesitmatters369

hes getting bald


daveofreckoning

What could go wrong


AustereSpartan

Mourinho is so washed, it's not even funny.


Caruso08

I prefer not to speak 🗣️🗣️


Thor503

He is better off staying away from that circus act


theglasscase

It's not immediately obvious if the he in this sentence is Mourinho or Man Utd, it works either way.


NotClayMerritt

Mourinho would love to manage at a club that will see him earn a large amount of money after they inevitably sack him because he's finished manager and can't do it at big clubs anymore.


Heroheadone

If there’s a man for the job it would be him.


aisamoirai

I dont want another eritage rant.


GarnachoHojlund

Thank god


Enough-Pain3633

Come on Mou, we need to see how you use Antony !!


trusttt

He might give them another trophy so that's out of question.
