Mourinho is one of the most overrated managers out there. It seems like every club he goes to he might have a successful first season or two, but then he creates such a hostile atmosphere that everything falls apart and the club is severely damaged. And that's not mentioning his style of football is awful to watch.
Hope he fudges off from English football, I don't want to watch any of his teams again. And good luck to any top team who hires him, they'll need it.
One of my best friends is a United fan and he was saying the same thing to me. He thinks they should get a head of football now to enforce United's philosophy, and then hire coaches appropriately.
Who do you want to replace him?
I honestly don't think there was anything wrong with what he was trying to do on the pitch, the problem was that he couldn't get his players to play for him. A poor playing side will always look like a defensive side no matter what style they play.
Look at past games when a lot of the players where actually on form, we played positive attacking football. The start of last season we were destroying teams 4 nil for fun. What happened along the way was Jose falling out with his players with Pogba and Martial the main players taking a disliking to Jose.
I agree with your friend and also Gary Neville that the problem is a lot deeper.
I'm not sure who I'd like to see in but Pochettino would be a great choice. I'm just not sure how committed he is current project with Tottenham and if the draw from a bigger club would be big enough to lure him away.
If I could have any manager it would be Pep, but that will never happen in a million years.
