I must admit I fancy Chelsea to win premiership because they have got the lot. They look unstoppable at present with a mean defence and goals in their armoury.
I think Chelsea looks better then when they won the league with Jose.
I don't think Jose has come up against so many world class mangers in one league.
I personally think he is the worst manager out of the lot.
He had it easy 1st time with chelsea because Alex Fergie was his only rival and lampard, Terry and robben was already there.
He has no experience building from scratch.
2nd time with chelsea he had no world class managers to contend with.
Chelsea had won the Uefa Cup the season before. Team was already there.
Now we have 3 or 4 world class mangers up against jose who are making him look bad playing great football.
Jose is a world class manager but he is not special compared to these guys.
Chelsea my favourite for title

Martial and Rashford need to play up front.
We need to stick to 3 in the middle to get anything out of Pogba.
We need a couple of top quality wide players alongside Mkhi who needs game time.
No shoehorning Mata out wide, Rooney in midfield, Pogba in DM, forwards on the wing etc.

"He was suffering long before Jose took over."
He was our best outfield player last season.

Mourinho should be sacked even if we finish 4th.

it's difficult to make an argument for Jose if we don't make the CL this season, be it via Europa or the PL.
Doing worse than the previous manager with the additions that have come in would be poor.

Its not just league position.
His whole attitude stinks and Manchester United, as much as I want things to go pear-shaped aren't a club that should associate itself with such antics.
Mourinho has always been a spoilt brat and for me, he's just not a good fit.

We won't get a better manager than Jose in if we get rid of him. Who out there, who is available, is going to do better?
Stop expecting instant fix and let one of world's best managers do his job. We can't continue to sack and pay off managers. It's costing us more than just a pay off. Each manager wants a new squad each time.
I have faith that Jose will have us competitive next season if we stick with him. Might take another poor season for us to get there.
Or we could panic and sack him and have 3 more poor seasons.
Who we realistically going to get if he's shown door if we miss out on top 4? Can't think of any obvious candidates much better.

We cannot keep sacking managers I agree
Even though its a massive adjustment on expectations for the season, especially what the Jose advocates led us to believe , I am happy to settle for Jose to be heading in the right direction come the end of the season.

In my vew, Jose will keep spending big and United will eventually get back amongst the title challengers.
Shame really because it'll mean Mourinho getting huge praise for what's basically buying your way to the title.
He hasn't shown any managerial prowess thus far for United. Money will be his saviour.

Thing is, isn't just about the accolades a manager has won, it's about being the right fit.
At this moment I'd say any of Klopp, Ancelotti, Guardiola, Koeman, Tuchel and others of this mould would have been a better fit.
I just don't think Jose is suitable for the club, never have. He had similar issues at Madrid.
I'm not calling for him to be sacked, I just think Woodward made (yet another) mistake. I'd have preferred to keep on LVG and blood in some more youth with one or two additions tbh. I think part of the issue was the top players not wanting to sign for him though.
