Manchester United is discussing Mourinho to replace LVG

“But I think he is a great example, he can speak five languages or whatever he can”.

‘Jose wants it. He’s always wanted it if the truth be told, despite his Mafia omerta-esque refusal to admit it, so that he could assuage his disappointment by becoming the happy one back at Chelsea.

But the player did not do enough to earn a call-back, ending his dreams of playing for Manchester United.

FC’s Gab Marcotti responds to reports suggesting Louis van Gaal’s possible sacking at Manchester United.

But under Louis van Gaal, who replaced Moyes, they are winless in their last six games, a sequence that has included their elimination from the Champions League at the group stage.

Despite his troubles this season, Ozil has backed the Special One to bounce back and continue to get the best out of players at his next club.

For the first time since becoming United manager Van Gaal started questioning himself saying “I am or was a very successfully manager” which sounded like a man that just couldn’t understand what has gone on in recent weeks at United.

Strikes either side of half-time from Cameron Jerome and Alex Tettey gave the visitors a two-goal lead on Saturday and Anthony Martial’s reply for United could not spark a revival from the lacklustre hosts. The problem is how we can manage to come out of this bad period.

“I would hope so, I think that is the right and proper succession plan for Manchester United”, he said to Sky Sports when asked if Giggs would be the next to fill the role.

“I was confident that we were going to get the three points on Saturday in Old Trafford, but that was not the case”, said the 27-year-old.

Van Gaal said: “What you have seen today is what a lack of confidence can do”.

“The most important support is from the players because the players have to do it on the pitch and the chemistry between the players and the manager and his staff is very important”.

“But we limited them to very little at times and posed a threat on the break”.

Van Gaal has come under increasing pressure and faced the wrath of discontented fans amid a dismal run of results and some insipid performances at Old Trafford.
