Bar the two youâve mentioned, Man U are a sacking club. He must fear the worst. Theyâd be mad to get rid of a proven winner like Jose though just three games into the season.
Itâs little known but fergie was near getting the sack in early 1990 . They stuck with a proven winner and the rest is history . they would be wise to heed that history .
Red Nev giving it big licks saying that United shouldnât sack him during the season, that itâs not the âUnited wayâ. Iâd say the rest of the league hope he stays there
Neville seems like a fairly smart guy but heâs quite dishonest in how he analyses Manchester United, England and English players compared to opponents. A shit player is a shit player if he doesnât tick one of those boxes but heâll give a more nuanced take on it if itâs a shit Manchester United player.
Dont know pal, didnt watch it. Did Pogba play?
Dunno mate.
That must be one of the most often trotted-out âlittle knownâ stories in soccer.

@Mullach_Ide I think was keeping count of how many games in a row the academy players have played in. Nice little twee stat. But Lingard is a proper academy player so as long as he gets on the field heâll keep it going for a good while.

No idea and no interest. @Mullach_Ide is the go to man on all matters relating to the famed Man U youth academy.
he togged out and was selected.
Two I think. Pogba and Lingard. And two on the bench in Rashford and McTominay.

Of the last 8 managers before Mourinho, only Sir Alex managed to not get the sack. Van Gaal, Moysie, Big Ron, Dave Sexton, Tommy Docherty, Frank OâFarrell and Wilf McGuinness all got the bullet. The Man U support were agitating non-stop for nearly four years to get Sir Alex the sack before he broke his trophy duck in his fourth season in winning the 1990 FA Cup. Sacking 7 of the last 8 managers would indicate that sacking managers is very much âthe United Wayâ.
Sure many of their supporters believe football only started when the EPL started
Yeah, its grand to trot out the line its not âthe United wayâ to sack managers when youâre winning 13 league titles in 20 years and any amount of cup competitions on top of that. Once Sir Alex departed and winter set in, they sacked Moysie after barely 6 months and sacked Van Gaal at the end of his second season, even after winning the FA Cup the weekend before.
Real Madrid is a bigger job and thatâs the one that really broke Jose

it is not.
Well itâs nice that they still have that
Man United have more fans and a higher financial turnover .
Real Madrid have 13 or 14 European Cups and a much more demanding fanbase and board
