Jose Mourinho has told his mufc players that Paul Pogba will not captain the team again. Mourinho annoyed with Pogba’s attitude & wanted to remind the players that no one is bigger than the club.

Is this the way to get the best from your expensively assembled squad? Nice work.

Someone needs to remind Jose that he’s not bigger than the club either.

I appreciate the lack of jibes about our latest debacle.

It’s all rather sad, and the suggestion that Zidane could be the replacement for Mourinho could be the final straw.

I think many of us feel numb regarding maureen's antics much in the same way that we have grown somewhat immune to Trump's nonsense.

It's all a little unseemly.

As a fan I've tried hard to picture a way in which Mourinho / Utd goes well from this point..... It just doesn't.*

Jose isn't the same guy he once was. I don't mean that in the sense of hes aged badly, hes just.... lost it... The charisma/flair...etc. All the things which made Jose Mourinho (as he once was) have gone, replaced by bitterness.

From what I know of him, I like Jose the person..... I don't like Jose the (United) manager.

Karl Pilkington on supporting Manchester United: "I feel like supporting United is like having a tortoise as a pet. I had a tortoise, and they are not entertaining to watch. You don't watch them, but you know you have got a bit of responsibility to show some interest."

I’d be happy for us both to be wrong, but I fear we’re not. He just isn’t the right man for us.
I’m still not clear on who there is out there who could be.
Someone like Klopp or Pochetino maybe. Not them, but someone who has their qualities.

Love the Karl Pilkington quote

I think at least one, especially when you consider that they need City to stop Liverpool winning the league, tough time to be a Man Utd fan. I find I like them atm though.

Fair point, but can't believe the Stoke thread has none.

I'm baffled nobody is talking about the Valencia match. One of the best matches to be played under the OT lights....

Thought the performance against Valencia was just dreadful. Always been a fan of Mourinho and surprised how things are panning out for him at United. He seems to love a good war of attrition, readily becoming entrenched in battles against players, fans, press, whoever. But with these elite clubs I figure that extra 2% performance comes from the mystique of playing for a revered side and really it's JM job to create that intoxicating atmosphere. I mean the fella says nobody is bigger than the club but injecting his own personal feelings into the situation, creating politics and disharmony is plainly at odds with that sentiment. Reaching the heights of managing or playing for United is football utopia and every day staff should be beaming but it's quite the opposite and the accountability for that rests with the manager.

I'm sure he doesn't mean to but his every utterance is demotivational and banging on about past success just makes him seem increasingly past it
