That would make 2 converted Man United fans in SG after KP stopped supporting Barça few month before we started to dominate the game.

KP's anti gloryhunter ... it actually feels good to support a team that battles for Europa League & Fa cup

KP was like 10 when he was supporting barca and Juventus.

I was supporting Leeds when they were in the UCL semi finals. I am more of a glory hunter.

The only clubs that can afford Lukaku are not a good fit for him
PSG
he's got the same agent as Zlatan, so PSG could totally work (one in, one out negotiation as far as Mino is concerned) ... the only issue is if they are ready to go young for their striker ... I think Auba is the best fit for PSG, if they can fend off Real Madrid: French speaking, has calcio bonafides through the Milan youth team, and is the perfect age ...

Raiola will also inevitably try to take Lukaku to Italy ...

To be honest, I'm OK if he countinues this philosophy even if takes few years till we win EPL again.

His wife won't let him go more than 1 year but yeah I agree we should LvG go 1 more year. It was only in his last season (4th) with AZ that he achieved success. Mourinho will destroy these talents but the good thing is that he will probably sign players like he always did. Hope we get good money from Mata because I don't see him work with Mata.

Fosu Mensah is playing again ahead of Darmian, rightly so. Darmian is inconsistent. Varela also was pretty good. Too bad they can't all play games together.

Mata right wing does not make sense. In a game like this with Lamela and Eriksen as the wingers, he should track back, which he is but he is bad defensively. Lingard should play there.

Good game, spurs. They deserve it.

The number of players out of position (4+1 of the 10 outfield players) made it look so easy for Spurs. Blind CB while Rojo plays LB is another obvious one. Rojo is a better CB than Blind and Blind is the better LB. Mata had to play right wing back for the whole game and he can't defend. All Lingard can do is run and LvG plays him AMF. Young as striker, wtf?!


Rooney is coming back soon so maybe he should play CMF alongside Carrick with Young the striker. Because this is LvG and why not?

The best suited team while Rooney is injured would be:

Martial
Depay Mata Young/Lingard
Carrick Schneider/Herrera
Blind Rojo Smalling Fosu-Mensah.

Basically the same players but where they are supposed to play.

Lots of rumors about the players turning on van Gaal, especially the senior players. We have seen this before, and the manager was fired after a couple of weeks.

van Gaal's tactics have been weird lately with so many players played out of position. As I mentioned before, Mata as a winger, Lingard as # 10, Young as striker and Blind as CB. Is it senility? Regardless, if we don't get into the UCL, van Gaal is out given how strained his relationship is with the senior players.

Mourinho looks like the only choice, sadly and I am extremely skeptical about him. He can win things in 3 years but in the long run, he can have damaging effects on the team. He usually manages a team for 3-4 years maximum, and what happens when he leaves? Inter has won nothing after he left and Chelsea had a few barren years after he left. Why does this happen? His tendency to not trust the academy players and to sell them most notably Lukaku.

If you think short term i.e. success for the next 3 years, yes Mourinho will definitely achieve that but in the long run, this man is dangerous for the club.
