I just don't fancy Mourinho at all, I'd rather we had gone for Simeone and hoped it worked out and we could have had him for a good few years
I'm not sure if JM has the desire and drive he had when he first came to the EPL and needed to succeed to satisfy his ego and be a 'winner'

I just hope one thing, he doesn't F()ck up our great club with his attitude and arrogance

I'd love to see him take us back to being a force in Europe, lift the CL a few times and a couple of EPL titles - who knows he may prove me wrong, stick around for years and be legend

One thing we do know is he has always coveted the role, he was gutted when Moyes got the nod 3 years ago, he is good mates with SAF and will hopefully listen to his masters voice and not behave like such a tool.

Help me here I'm scrabbling about for positives

If you didn't like the style under LVG then you wouldn't like the style under Simeone, they are pretty much the same style, its just Atletico Madrid have better quality players. Atletico kept around 28 clean sheets in La Liga this season, under Simeone they have played 256 games and kept 135 clean sheets.

For me the perfect fit for Man United would have been Mauricio Pochettino, he plays a style which would appeal to United fans and is pleasing on the eye, he gives youth a chance and he's great with the media. He's an up and coming manager that has already taken 2 teams to a much higher level. He doesn't have the CV that Mourhino has but his stock is on the up and i'm pretty sure he'll be managing bigger clubs than Spurs at some point in his career.

I also like Klopp, he just has a great attitude and always seems up beat
just doesn't seem to be able to win a Final, hopefully he keeps that record intact while he's with the dippers

I hope JM is rejuvenated and the challenge of attacking SAF's record is a big enough factor to drive him and the team on with an insatiable appetite to be the best (again)
time will tell

Here's a question what players would you buy?

I'm going to say a few names and people might think i'm crazy.

But here goes, Jonjo Shelvey, to play along side Rooney.

jermain defoe as back up striker, i know he's coming to end of his career, but he scored alot of goals this season, and United need a second striker.

I was just thinking one up and coming younger player, and an extra goal scorer that has a proven record. Plus i believe in helping British talent and not just buying a all of there players from abroad

First through the door is a guy I have never heard of for £30m and 40 appearances under his belt, more proof that footy is mental in the Prem era
