Louis Van Gone / Jose Mourinho set to be announced as Man Utd manager this week - BBC

They've apparently offered Giggs another position within the club. If Warren Joyce takes the Blackburn manager job then he might end up managing the U21s.
 
I have mixed feelings about this. I don't mind LVG gone, though it could have been handled better at the same time don't really want Jose. I'd have taken him before his 2nd spell at Chelsea but keen anymore.
It will be interesting summer and next season though :)
 
Finally.

Louis van Gaal leaves Manchester United

(NYSE: MANU) Louis van Gaal is to leave Manchester United, with immediate effect.

Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward said: "I would like to thank Louis and his staff for their excellent work in the past two years culminating in winning a record-equalling 12th FA Cup for the club (and securing him a title in four different countries). He has behaved with great professionalism and dignity throughout his time here. He leaves us with a legacy of having given several young players the confidence to show their ability on the highest stage. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best in the future."

A decision on a successor as manager will be announced soon.

I have mixed feelings too.

It kind of makes sense (I mean who will be free next season?) but I am certainly not expecting a great deal to change, if anything we may well become more workman like. Perhaps LVG had to play the style we played in order to win, even if we scraped by, due to our not so great players? Sure he made some bizarre decisions, no doubting that and the players did seem very constrained.

It will be very interesting to see what happens, our aim should still be top 4 and that's it, even if we spend big. There's a lot of change ahead.

Thelollingman will be happy that Juan Mata will be gone for sure.
 
Louis van Gaal statement

It has been an honour to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.

I am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in the club's history. I have been privileged during my management career to have won 20 trophies but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history, will always be one of the most special achievements of my career.

I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan. I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club to move forward and achieve even greater success.

I hope that winning the FA Cup will give the club a platform to build upon next season to restore the success that this passionate set of fans desire.

Having managed in Holland, Spain and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English football and be part of English culture. Both of these experiences have lived up to expectations and been fantastic.

I thank my players and wish them well for next season. It has been a pleasure to work with them and it has been particularly rewarding to see so many young players take their chance to break into the first team and excel. I look forward to watching the continued development of these young players next season.

Thank you to the owners and board of Manchester United for giving me the opportunity to manage this great club.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the amazing United supporters. They are truly the best fans in the world.

I am indebted to my support and coaching staff, who have given me their all during their time at the club.

I am deeply grateful to each and every member of the club’s staff - the sports science team, the medical team, the kit and laundry department, club administration, the press office, the manager's team, the Academy team, ground staff and the catering team, both at Old Trafford stadium and Carrington training ground, all of whom have given me their unwavering support in my time at United. Never in my 25 years as a manager have I been so well supported in my role.

Finally, my special thanks go to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton for always making me and my family feel so welcome throughout my time as Manchester United manager.

Are you not happy with Klopp? With the right investment there's no reason Liverpool can't end up doing well too?

Liverpool has been nothing but false hope for a decade now and we've failed to capitalise every time we've taken steps forwards.

So I'm not exactly convinced Klopp is going to return us to consistent success, I don't think anyone would mind, think we're not amazingly run and not rich enough to make up for it

Put it this way, i'd take Klopp over Mourinho without a moment's hesitation. A bit of financial backing and you'll stroll into a CL spot next season.

It actually worries me.

Fluke and makes it even more embarrassing we haven't managed it after throwing so much money at it :p

Oh me too but the budget between the two is vastly different. Can't imagine us spending what you did on Martial, albeit looking an incredibly good bit of business if he keeps it up.

It shouldn't, i think manu are literally too big to not spend their way out of this. Unless you mean us perhaps winning a couple of things here and there then maybe :p
 
Who'd have thought Jose would be walking through the door of Fergies office let alone sitting in his old chair doing his old job.
