Hi Ed002

Any substance to Mourinho being interested in returning to United?

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt that he would be interested in a return and is certainly not on the list of preferred option.}

Pure comedy if he did come back! I love Jose, but never going to happen and he and the club are so not right for each other.

It's a moot point really though isn't it. He's not interested, and it would be highly surprising if we were.

I think he’s done tbh. He hasn’t evolved like Pep or Ancelotti. Only place I can see for him is Saudi.

I always thought Mourinho would be a great international manager.

With less contact time his intensity would be less grinding on the players.

While his pragmatic style of play, and his tendency to get the best out of his sides in knockout competitions I just think is ideally suited to international football.

Totally agree Shappy. Although I don’t think he’s quite ready to give up the day to day just yet.

Of all the managers we’ve had since SAF, Jose was by far the most disappointing. He was probably the most successful when it comes to silverware and results, but his inability to adapt his footballing philosophy to better align with that of the club was a huge letdown. I still really like him as a person and have a lot of respect for what he was able to achieve in the first half of his career, but his archaic style of football suits neither our club nor the modern game.

Ed, who is on the list of preferred?

{Ed002's Note - I don't see it as worth going in to at this time.}
