In case he hadn’t made it obvious enough, Jose Mourinho has again hinted that he would be interested in replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager.
“Football without Alex Ferguson? I’m not sure that will happen any day soon,” said Mourinho. “The man lives and breathes football and Manchester United is his club. His hunger and desire to win the biggest trophies remains so I cannot see the day he considers walking away from football approaching. Like Real Madrid, the Manchester United job is special and only a special manager is good enough to take the job on if and when it does become available. Of course, jobs like that don’t become available every day so the interest will be vast. Like Madrid, it’s a job everyone will want.”

The unavoidable next manager U-Turn
Man Utd News 24/7
nailed on next gaffer
Hahahaha….Mourinho is really pimpimg himself for the job isn’t he….the guy is DESPERATE!
Bring Ronnie with you Jose!!! as far as i am concerned he is the only choice to replace fergie…but worried whether the glazers will be able to pay him what he demands and back him in the transfer market to the necessary extent…
Loved his passion. Hope he has a pre-contract agreement with us. Won’t be so painful to replace a truly SPECIAL manager with another truly SPECIAL.
I surely want to c him in our team in two yrs tym.
who are asking him all these united related questions…
‘the manchestr united job is SPECIAL one and only a SPECIAL manager should take.’ is he hinting the ‘special one’
A special hint from the special one that he would like to have the special job.
A special yes from me.
lol … he is hinting: “Sir Alex .. please state to the press that I’m your successor”
He’s convincing me more and more of his cred.
I was just thinking, if Real Madrid do the Treble either this year or the next and we win the league, we could get Mourinho and Ronaldo in one package.
I mean, Ronaldo only joined Madrid because he’d already won everything in England right? So maybe Sir Alex could retire ( I don’t want him to, but he’d have become 70 and knocked Liverpool off their fucking perch, so he may want to retire ) happy knowing that Mourinho and Ronaldo were coming to OT…
I must admit I never fancied Maureen for the job, always thought of him as a more expensive o’neill, especially while at Chelsea but you can’t argue with his recored at Inter, the only problem is he won’t leave RM until he’s won the CL, hope its soon as he looks nailed on and I think SAF would move aside for him.
I do not wan’t Mourinho at OT…
Well word on the street (from red issue) is its a done deal and was part of the conversation the chief gimp had with Rooney.
Why don’t you want him there Xyth, look at the way RM are playing at the moment.
Once and it will be a sad day when SAF goes, I will be glad to know that I will have witnessed the greatest manager of all time. There is only one natural replacement out there for him and that is Mourinho and I for one will welcome him with open arms..
there is thiz rumour dat carlos quors is cumin bk…i hop and i hop he is nt cumin bk 2 be alex’s succesor
Fuck me, that guy is blatantly on the charm offensive, scoring as many points as he can.
@mattbw7 i hope diz da truth..
@ john da feelin is mutual..
Virgin-jesus I agree but please can you drop the Rio style twatter language, rispek!
Still dreaming? and Ronaldo will be coming back at the same time.Heard it,
our opinons on this dont matter. just hope the club dont appoint an english manager cos they’re all shite. I personally would not mind moyes, mourinho or pep. ole solskjaer just for sentiments sake too! haha but i feel the most important thing is to let the next one have his proper preparation time with the players for at least a full preseason to get the team working on a new system.
He is very desperate…. Cant stop speaking abt his interest in managing united
I am a huge admirer of Mourinho as a tactician but I still doubt if he’d fit into the United system, particularly with his snorefest brand of football. From the look of it, I seem to be in the minority here.
@Costas
Et tu Brute?
He’s starting to sound like a broken record. We get it Mourinho, you want the job. We’ll keep you in mind when Fergie retires.
I’m loving how obvious he’s being about this. I wonder how old Florentino Perez feels about Mourinho so blantantly pushing himself to succeed Sir Alex? It was funny for him when Ronaldo was lusting after a move to the Bernabeau but they’ve never had to put up with it the other way around which is what is happening now with Mourinho making statement after statement of intent.
Like marrying an old man to inherit his money upon his death, the managerial field is littered with wannabe’s that misjudged SAF’s longevity.
It seems that TSO / TNSSO always identifies that he is not a vulture, circling, watching, waiting.
He doth protest too much.
Jose Mourinho is more concerned with coming to United than being at Real Madrid
Couldn’t get any better than that
self-proclaim TSO talks too much as usual. juz like a certain world no-1 wannabe, after kissing crest, after declaring staying for life….will look like a dickhead when it doesn’t happen.
zip up mourinho….saying i love u every hour can be a real turn off at times.
Jose’s just like MLK or CR7. they each had a dream. CR7′s was to play in white (then he left and realized his old cow was the best cow
). and Jose’s dream was to be at the Theatre of Dreams. Maybe he thinks Busby was right after all, and maybe Manchester could be his heaven too? 
hehe
and off topic, does anyone know why Rooney left at half time yesterday?
Yes, yes we know Stop whoreing yourself out!
@jellybean
he had a pre-fixed whore booking session. he bought a season ticket….can’t cancel now.
@dela
Heh, well I never had a problem with him coming to Old Trafford. My main concern is that the next manager doesn’t divide our fans. If Mourinho starts winning over more fans, sure why not.
all he’s really doing is stating the obvious very few managers would turn down the job,i had my doubts about the guy when he first moved to chelsea but his resume speaks for its self.regardless if you like him or not he’s a top manager
@ DevilIsRed- you reckon Stretford books em for him as well? ugh, i hope he had an important appointment or something, instead of proving himself to be an even bigger twat than we thought he was.
@wayne- i have to agree, not including Fergie, no other manager’s CV can compare to his. but it can only happens when Fergie decides it’s time.
How pissed off would he be if he didn’t get the job???
It be rather funny if he didn’t get it. Would have saved loads of arguments on ROM.
JOMO what a PR machine.
NO TRANSFERS!!! SAF???????????
LOL.. I like the fact that we have people in different positions trying to show their passion for our club so obviously. You just won’t finish if you start counting…
Another thing, he’s not just hinting that he wants to take the job after SAF, but he’s also hinting at how special he is that he manages a special club, having a special position and a special opportunity :p so everything in his career has to be “special”. I quite like that arrogance in him cause he really has the right. In my opinion, if we want to remain as successful after SAF, he’s the most suitable one to take the position… after a long while hopefully.
I’m working on my badges and plan to be the next gaffer at MUFC!!!!
I’m special just ask me or my mom.
I like a 2-3-4-1 set up.
I would bring in sexy ass cheer leaders, with visual Camel toe.
I would plunder all the best British young talent.
I would find Sheik Mansurs biggest sheik enemy and get him to buy out the Glazzer’s for an offer to big to refuse.
I would show hot ckicks in the stands between play.
I would hold a Rooney day first 1500 lad’s over 18 free hookers.
Free beer between at half time of each home game.
i used to hate him. But the way every month he talk about us tells me he is rightest man for the job, because among managers of his calibre, only he has repeatedly say he wants to come here. Unlike a certain swedish vermin who where ever a vacancy comes, he will say it is his dream.
I was dead against it for a long time… BUT — 1) He wants the job and respects SAF and United. 2) He obviously thinks United is bigger than the virus and we would be a step up 3) After seeign Inter v Barcelona last year he know s how to organize a team to attack and win against the supposed best attcking side in the world. I’m happy to admit it it — I changed my mind. He’s got my vote.
Most certainly all the necessary qualities. doh
i think it would work for the ladies a poor mans George Clooney, jaysus lets turn this into a slightly gay debate.
He is on a charm offensive, dont trust this at all.
I have found the perfect next Manchester united manager and it aint him, bye a country mile.
Anybody watching the Geordies and Mackems match earlier will have seen him give a heart on sleeve prematch acknowledgement to his now deceased life long friend.
History and class, go together.
I dont get the comments that Mourinho’s tactics are boring, when clearly the key to winning the premier league is to be strong defensively instead of being more attacking. Very rarely do United get big scorelines now, as Fergie clearly likes the one up front with one floating behind in attack and obviously our midfield is pretty weak without Scholes and Giggs controlling it.
Personally I would welcome either Mourinho or Guardiola, out of the two Pep has the most attacking football, but lets be fair he inherited a truely great squad from Rijkaard and thus was able to have that style of football.
Mourinho would be gr8. V. similar tactical set-up… solid defense FIRST super attacking play SECOND and maybe he’d be able to motivate some of our lazier players (anderson, berbatov, nani) wich Ferg seems to struggle with maybe the hairdryer is too old hat for them
@ Silly sausage, Tell me the similarities Of Sir Matt and Sir Alex to Maureen?
Fergie said he will not leave his successor a poor side so fergie will be there a while yet the .If jose has seen this team he will stay where he is
The man wants to come back to England and doesn’t want to deal with Abramovich again. So its us or City and their owners are crazy, so its us!
Everyone here seems to be saying Mourinho or Guardiola but another manager in Spain is also impressing me at the moment and thats Unai Emery at Valencia who has done well with no funds there and also did fantastic at his previous two clubs plus he is only 39. I think he’s one to think about.
@ United, I see it totally different, its the big picture.
its never us, Scott the Red is causing debate which is fine and fun.
To me its the mercinaries, the Sheik will pay top oil dollar to achieve for them, we dont need to.
He will tip up at Wastelands and eventually get them a carling cup or a 500 million pound league title.
Its written in the “stars”.
Mad man Mancini given the bag, entree the biggest whore in world football, Maureen.
Loyalty eh.
Exactly if Mourinho darkens these shores again there’s only one place he’ll be going and that’s to the Massives.They consider they are only One manager away from total dominance and if they get a sniff that he is on the move he will be made an offer he will find impossible to refuse and anybody who thinks differently are not living in the same world I am.
like him or not
want him or not
he is surely our next boss. I’m all for it, he will have to keep the attacking mentality. The best players want to play for him. I actually find him hilarious. Running round the Nou Camp, how is that not funny. Ronaldo coming with would be ridiculous but I wouldn’t exactly mind if it happened.
He clearly craves this job. I don’t want him if he will only do his routine of maximum 3 years. If he’s successful and loyal, bearing in mind he’s still only late 40′s???.
@ The fly, tell me just out of curiosity how long has Maureen stayed at one club.
When has United had their greatest success with managers.
You wont a quick in and out.?
He will either go to the cash cow, or the National manager of Portugal.
Not United class
My OBJECTIVE take on this
Those in support of JM look at his success story and rightly so, you cannot question what he has achieved.
Those opposed to him are also justified, no youth development, perhaps looking after his own interest, no long term security….
Bottom lime fellas, Sir Alex is simply irreplaceable, we will NEVER have a manager that is going to be at the club for over 20 years. Personally I cannot make my mind up on JM, but who in world football at the moment is better equipped? This is a serious question and NOT a vote of confidence
*line* not *lime* obviously lol
@ CedarsDevil ohhhhhh Fuck of eh, when has objectivity ever entered a fans head lol.
Good post mate.
Bottom Lime I much prefer, are you thinking of taking care of your vegetable garden! lmao
I stick bye my views, an ex United player than knows the ethos of the club and will respect the traditions.
What are yous all gonna do when he’s appointed United manager?
Red Scot
LOL
In all honesty mate its the most frightening thought for me, post SAF era! You say ex United player, but who? Brucy, Keano, Ole WHO?
Blimey better go get pissed and forget about the eternal question
@Willie you are so,annoying! lmao.
Get it in your heid, I have the new managers name in my grasp, and it aint no fucking tarting greaseball.
Evening mate hope N iron is good. Drink more baileys you no it makes sense.
RedScot – United and Mourinho makes sense, and it would piss off a lot of people in England. The only concern I have is the style of football, but football fans, being football fans, if we start winning trophies, that will be forgotten about quickly.
@mattbw7 To put it simply – extremely arrogant with no class whatsoever. United deserves better.
Would rather have any from Pep, Sparky (despite Shitty stain), Brucie, Hiddink, or Moyes.
@ Cedars evening mate on progression and heart on sleeve and what he has attained with regards to experience and ethic and win all mentality.
With a limited budget I would go with Steve Bruce, i previously thought David Moyes, and supported him.
Different times and days.
Its like pissing in the wind i guess.
IF we only did not have the Glazer for me Mourhino would be, toot sweet.
Get the Glazer out
Red Scot
Still cracking up at your ‘lime’ veggie garden comment! LOL
In all honesty If I was (God forbid) choosing our next boss I would shoot my self, no one is worthy BUT life goes on. Cannot disagree with Bruce, nor can I disagree with JM… But I cannot also disagree with Hiddink, nor can I disagree with Ole…. Truth be told, best way out, we give a good prayer, SAF stays on for a further 30 years, problem solved
Too big for Moyes. Sir Alex said it has to be an experienced manager.
i love mourinho as a coach, but hes the opposite of what we want our playstyle and tactics to be, yes he can win at all costs, but it wont be pretty
@ willie
You are right, SAF did say that and I know you are a fan of JM and I respect that…. Talking of experience, who else is out there worthy of the job that meets that criteria and is not over 60? I guess you have a winner! LOL
FFS sir alex isnt finnished yet so why do we have to discuss this every fucking month. Do you ot want rid of Fergie??
Mourinho says its a job for a special one, is he a retard. Does he think hes special, if special means “gifted”, then sure hes “gifted” in a south park sort of way, TIMMY. Now all we need now is for Moyes to come out and say Sir Alexs successor will be experienced and we can have a encyclopedic chat about complete bolox again, and the redknapp …………….. this could go on forever.
Fergie isnt going anywhere, he will die on the bench. and thats a while a ways yet.
Who keeps asking him United related questions and why? He just keeps repeating himself!
Yeah, welkam ‘the special one’ to OT. Its where u r n were ment to be.
he’s a charmer… knows how to get what he wants…
Wow, I’m actually touched you read my messages, Scott.
For those slagging JM’s style of play I would suggest that they watch Madrid this season or look back at his first season with the rent boys, that and I would also say that its not like United exactly play free flowing, attacking football any more – in fact we are becoming something of a Chelsea clone by playing containing football and worrying more about the oppo instead of trying to impose ourselves on them.
@RedScott 21:01 – they are all winners mate?
SAF will be here for a while… So plz shut ur mouth Jose
Love Jose tbf. Welcome to Old Trafford, son.
If he gets us a treble and utterly humiliates the rent boyz, I won’t complain.
Sorry, but I can never agree with the bloggers view on Mourinho. Sure he has his fault(who doesn’t), but there’s simply no one better than him right now for the job, who knows if Fergie leaves in some years time, there might have been a new up and coming manager that’ll look good for the job, but for now, Mourinho is still the best candidate for the jbo.
I think that he Ronlado would come back at OT if he comes here. But like most of you said, it is a big question can Glazers pay for all demands he has. He bought every player he wanted, because owners has a lot of money, but Glazers dont want to spend a money. But on the other side, he is not stupid, he knows about our club finance like we do. He like chalenge. I beg that Glazers go away until then.
