Circus ManUnitus - Erik's At The Wheel

He's just a sad angry man now. He used to be quite cool when he first emerged in his Chelsea days even though he was a bit of a cnut too. He just hates life so much doesnt he and clearly isnt happy. I feel for him.

Its as small time as it gets.

He just admitted a bit of crowd banter got to him. How broken is that?

And thats all it was, banter - I heard "getting sacked in the morning" as well - absolutely nothing that crossed the line (or got near to it).

Seriously, consider that, four days later he is having a pop at Spurs fans. Pathetic.
 
I thought it was quite funny. Bit of classic Mourinho playing the villain, getting the focus on him rather than the players, stoke some rivalry. A lot more fun than the complaining about referees, his own players he has been about recently. Though that is entertaining too when it's happening to Manu.
 
£500m spent in 2 odd years and they do this, total cretins with a massive sense of entitlement

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45388117

A group of disaffected Manchester United fans have paid for a banner complaining about the way the club is being run to be flown over Turf Moor before Sunday's league game at Burnley.

The banner 'Ed Woodward - a specialist in failure' has been arranged by a group called 'A Voice from the Terrace' and will be flown over the ground about 20 minutes before kick-off.

United have lost two of their first three games this season and executive vice-chairman Woodward is being blamed by the group for the club's position.

The Old Trafford outfit must avoid defeat to stop themselves suffering their worst start to a season since 1986, when Ron Atkinson was eventually sacked

Since replacing David Gill as the man in charge of day-to-day affairs at Old Trafford in 2013, Woodward has presided over three trophy successes.

Tellingly though, United have failed to mount a single Premier League title challenge and have finished outside the top four in two out of five seasons.

Woodward has been held responsible for blocking the exit of winger Anthony Martial this summer, a decision that went against the wishes of manager Jose Mourinho.

The banner evokes memories of a similar stunt in March 2014, when fans flew a banner over Old Trafford proclaiming 'David Moyes - The Wrong One' in protest at Moyes' disastrous reign.

The Scot was sacked a month later

Spending money is one thing. How you spend it and who you bring in as manager is a different story.

Woodward has not impressed so far. It's only right that questions are asked about him and not just the manager(s) he's hired and spent the money with.

Hopefully they keep Woodward, he does seem out of his depth.

I am a little torn regarding Mourinho; on the one hand I would like him sacked as I hate seeing him, hearing about him, facing teams he manages, etc. On the other hand I think his being at united his sapping the life out of them (my brothers are both long time united fans and they now hate watching them play) and his fits of petulance are hilarious to see. A bonus is watching the former united players talk about/defend him post match.

I do have family who are S/T holders up there and they say opinion is split between Woodward and Jose as who is to blame for this, they also said that its only a minority who actually want Jose out. That is after you take out the macarons/kids on T W atter ( their words not mine).
 
What’s that odd feeling? It’s sympathy for Mourinho amid Pogba’s malaise

[Pogba] has had some excellent games – just not enough of them and not enough in the José way. So much so that when he speaks with such open disdain about his manager it is hard to avoid a strange and unexpected feeling. What is it, this peculiar emotion? Hang on. Yes, it appears to be sympathy for Mourinho. And he does deserve some here.

To date Pogba has done very little at Manchester United to justify his own comments. The fact is in the hierarchy of elite Manchester United midfielders of the last quarter-century his own position is closer to Juan Sebastián Verón than Roy Keane right now.

Even Pogba’s own complaint about a lack of attacking flair could be seen as a decent argument for dropping himself. Perhaps a star, forward-surging central midfielder who has never scored more than eight league goals in a season might be a part of that problem. For all his medals Pogba still looks most of the time like a wave waiting to break, a grand talent en route to finding its most potent expression.

He has been good this season, showing his excellent passing range and ball-carrying craft. But the fact is Pogba is not as effective as he might be. His passing and movement and control of a game are not as good as, say, Kevin De Bruyne’s when he plays in the central midfield area.

No shame in this: few reach that level. But Pogba acts and speaks like an outright star, so he must expect to be judged as one. And among star players he is not as effective or as valuable to his team as Eden Hazard, Mo Salah, Romelu Lukaku, Christian Eriksen, Virgil van Dijk, David Silva, David de Gea or Harry Kane. Is he a better Premier League central midfielder than Mousa Dembélé or Ilkay Gündogan? Is he as effective a presence right now as James Milner? Or Rúben Neves? The answer is: probably not. Or not to any degree one would notice.

Often his best moments, like the lovely touch for United’s opening goal on Saturday, are simultaneously undermined. Why would Mourinho be annoyed at Pogba giving the ball away in the lead-up to Wolves’ equaliser? Because after six Premier League games no central midfielder in any team has been dispossessed more often than Pogba or taken more unsuccessful touches.

Pogba is yet to make a single interception. Sixty-eight midfielders have made more tackles per 90 minutes, including Fulham’s Tom Cairney, who is a throwback to the strolling-playmaker golden age of the 1960s, and Bernardo Silva, whose manager’s best quote so far in England is “what is tackles?” If Mourinho really is worried about Pogba giving the ball away, not imposing himself and not working enough for the team, then maybe it is because he gives the ball away, does not impose himself and does not work enough for the team.
