no, flogging Pogba in January would be a terrible idea and almost impossible anyway. But yeah, I'd absolutely get rid of him next summer if the price is right. Maybe he kills it under Moutinhos successor though, who knows. I'd happily eat crow.

He's been pretty much elite for every manager except for Mourinho.

Conte - Great at Juventus
Allegri - Great at Juventus
Deschamps - Great at Euro 2016 & World Cup 2018

Mourinho - Horrible at United

I'd actually place a big bet on him being much better under a new manager at United.

The mourinho problem with him is insane, also hes clearly leaking all the negative stuff about him to the press

One of them has to go

I go back and forth on who it will be, but i just cant see Mourinho surviving the season

Well, that's a great start! Manchester United has hardly touched the ball, and Mourinho's probably going to print out some resumes at halftime!

hardly surprising, Mourinho has come in with a terribly negative mindset once again. With all due respect, it's West Ham ... coming in with such a defensive setup is crazy. McTominay is all over the place and West Ham kills them with speed on the wing.

I actually love what they did this summer, but still - for a club like United there's just no reason to come in with an underdog mentality here.

Agreed. They haven't been assertive at all, and it's rather bizarre.

The game started at 5:30 Mountain Time, but Man U still has yet to show up.

I think the fact that Mourinho signed that bumper deal last summer is going to make it hard for him to get sacked until things really spiral out of control. I believe they are actually still paying Moyes and LVG's contracts out as well. Cheap as the Glazers are I think Mourinho gets until their CL campaign is over. Let's be honest, the league was never happening anyway.
