Who is???

I’m a lifelong Man United fan and member, and I recall driving home from the 2016 FA Cup final, when rumours of Van Gaal’s sacking started circulating. My lad, 13 at the time, was delighted, as was I, and said how excited he was at the prospect of Mourinho being the next United manager.

My response was to tell him if he thought the football was bad under Van Gaal (it was absolute turgid dross), then it would be even worse under Mourinho. How true that turned out to be.

For all his achievements, he still leaves turmoil and fractured dressing rooms in his wake, and has been well and truly left behind tactically. Worst manager United has had in my lifetime.
 
He wasn't wrong though was he. Actually the issue with him is probably more Raiola than anything

I’m never sure what the story is with Pogba, but I do agree there is a massive issue with Raiola. Ferguson never made any attempt to hide his contempt for the man, and I can understand why.

The long standing rumours I hear tend to revolve more around Lingard being the cause of dressing room unrest. Not sure how true they are.

I'd guess its BS, how could an average squad player have that much influence?
 
hes not even that good is he? (and yes im horrified that even paper talk linked him to us!)

Massively overrated. Talented but hasnt really nailed down a position as his own.
If he was foreign he'd have been shipped abroad long time ago.
