Happy Birthday Jose Mourinho !

 I hated Jose when he was at United. Despite him winning three cups for us and that is the last trophies we have had in the past 5 years. I wished he was never at united! I got triggered when he said, “The highest achievement that he has ever done is to get second place with Man United”. A manager who won the treble twice with Porto and Inter Milan claimed that the highest achievement he has ever had is to get second place with us. He has got some nerve, I thought.  As the proverb goes “You won't know the value of the product until it leaves you”. Once he left, everything got exposed. Yes, loved every bit of what Ole was then doing but the amount of mess that Jose left with us has irked me. Slowly the players started to throw Ole under the bus too! This is the moment, this very moment I fell in love with Jose! The accolades that he has got in his past are insane. He won the treble with Porto out of nowhere! Did a surprising turnover at inter Milan. Winning Pep’s Barca at his home g

Manchester United Revolution Stage 1 - Paul Mitchell

 It is very familiar that Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in Europe. But, that's not the case ever since their legendary manager stood aside from the managerial seat. Since then they have splashed money extravagantly on players alone. They spent so much that their net spending hit billions for the past decade. It must be very hard for Manchester United fans to take because their "noisy neighbour" has spent a lesser amount yet is close to Manchester United and has achieved the zenith of success.  It is clear that the problem is not with the managers, it is not with the players, the problem arises from the up top. The board, the recruitment department, the scouts, the negotiations and everything related to selling or buying a player. They are known to buy star players hoping for the immediate solution but the players never stood up to the task they were sent out to. Splashing 100m on Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and giving hefty wages and disturbing the wage str

Manchester United : Erik Ten Haag

Since the sacking of ole, the Manchester United fan base was divided into two wanting either Erik Ten Haag or Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager. A few weeks later and after all the negotiations, Manchester United officially announce Erik Ten Haag as their successive manager and has signed a contract for a 4-year deal. This is the first time the club has offered more than 3 year deal to a manager post Ferguson.  Many of the online fans wanted Erik as their new manager whilst almost all the ex-united players wanting Pochettino. Even the great man himself wanted Pochettino to take the hot seat. But, it was Ralf Ragnick who persuaded the board and choose Erik. Erik has promoted Go Ahead Eagles to the premier division after 17 years in his first managerial job. From there, he went on to manage Bayern Munich II while Pep was managing the first team. Ajax appointed Erik as their manager in 2017 and he has won them 5 trophies in the span of four and half years. He is on the verge of win

Manchester United's GK Situation

 Manchester United have had one of the world's best GK in their squad. Kasper Schmeichel, Van der Saar followed by David de Gea in the past decade. Now, their academy goalkeeper Dean Henderson is knocking on the door for the number 1 spot in the first team. Apart from these iconic goalkeepers, manchester united produced more talented keepers like Tom Heaton and Sam Johnstone who are regular starters in their respective clubs.  We can all agree that since Ferguson left, David de Gea is the man who carried the team for several seasons. though recent performance from him may have had a stinker one can never deny the fact that, he was the world's best because he won the golden glove with Phil ones and Chris smalling to protect him. David de Gea became a legend in this club after his iconic spell under Mourinho. though there was speculation of DDG joining other clubs, he chose to stay in Carrington itself. after a series of howlers, DDG's number 1 spot in the team became questio

Pep Guardiola: Yet another UCL loss

Pep Guardiola and UCL Defeat:  Pep's Manchester City suffered yet another UCL defeat yesterday night against Chelsea. Pep is known for his spending and not achieving the European championship. Many believed that Pep is gonna win a UCL after lastly having it with Barcelona in 2011. After leaving Barcelona he suffered 3 semi-final defeat with Bayern Munich, 3 quarter-final defeat and one final defeat with manchester city. In the span of 5 years with the city he spent over 800 million on players seeing a net spend of 750 million and yet to achieve the European glory.  The reason why he lost yesterday's night final against Chelsea is, starting sterling and leaving Fernandinho/Rodri on the bench. he anticipated that Chelsea is gonna be underdogs and play for a counter-attack styled play with their pacey attack. This style of play made him think that he would need another attacking player to support the attack and breach Chelsea's defence. What he did not expect was the DM is the

Why ole must be backed!

 Why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must be backed! After suffering the loss in Gdansk, Manchester United fans came are in very serious doubt whether their current manager is the right fit for their trajectory to glory.
