| Interesting. An Italian reporter has said the same thing. Perhaps it makes sense to wait until the summer, as opposed to dropping The Special One into a situation where he is expected to produce a miraculous turnaround with no ability to make changes to the squad. |

Yep both Italian and Spanish media saying the same thing. Also hearing Allegri to Chelsea and Renato Sanches (Benfica U-18 MF) offer from MUFC in place for the summer (£46M).

| Interesting. Jose isn't exactly known for nurturing young players, but this kid sounds like the kind of prospect Man U ought to be chasing. |

No to Mourinho. Not worth the drama. He's not been known to be good with young player, has a negative style of football, criticizes his own players, and doesn't have a record of lasting more than 2-3 years at a club. It usually doesn't end well with him. Why would you want that?
There are just as capable managers out there.

tbh, the current united squad doesnt have as much quality as past united squads.. i think mou could squeeze a lot out of em.. but i wouldnt be shocked if united went ham this coming transfer window. |

| Yep. Right now, the EPL reminds me of MLB in the days when the money first started getting really big. Everyone thought that the Yankees, etc. would just buy championships, but the opposite happened. They spent the money stupidly and spun their wheels for about two decades while teams like the Royals and Twins won championships. Eventually, the big money teams got a little smarter. |

| Okay, raise your hand if you had Leicester and Tottenham at the top of the table in February, with Man U and Chelsea 6 and 17 points adrift of fourth place. If you did, I hope you put some money on it. |

Big games tomorrow, hoping for Arsenal to win and City-Spurs to be a draw.
Utd are so wack man, wasted 2 hours of my life watching that nonsense earlier, they're so pony.

Wow! that was a huge win for Arsenal. The championship race is far from over and will probably go to the wire.
I find Liverpool celebrating like they just won the CL after 6:0 VS Villa kind of pathetic.

That penalty on Sterling was bogus.

Speaking of Villa, they are one of only three clubs that have played over 100 overall seasons in the top division of English football. Their current streak in top division began in 1988, with only five clubs with longer streaks. They will most likely get relegated. The second largest city in England thus won't have a team playing in the Premier League, unless Birmingham City miraculously gets promoted from the Championship after this season.

I find everything about Liverpool to be pathetic if I'm being honest.
Their view of who they are is so different to how everyone else perceives them to be. Liverpool have this big image of themselves like it's still the 70s and they're still relevant, but yet they haven't ever won the premiership. Can't stand them.
