Anorak News | Van Gaal sacked, Mourinho appointed and Manchester United are unchanged

Van Gaal sacked, Mourinho appointed and Manchester United are unchanged

by | 22nd, May 2016

Sky News are reporting that Manchester United have offered Jose Mourinho the Manchester United job and the former Chelsea manager has accepted. Not all that good news for current Old Trafford boss Louis Van Gaal, then, who yesterday delivered the FA Cup, Man United’s first trophy in three years – albeit the pot Alex Ferguson’s serial winners didn’t even bother to defend in 1999, preferring to take a brand-building winter break in Brazil.

So is Sky correct? For some months its sister organ, the Sun, has been reporting that Mourinho is a shoo-in for the job.

The Sun and Sky’s other sister organ, The Times, also banged the drum for Van Gaal’s end.

Fellaini played.

Is Mourinho heading to United? What say the other papers?

Yes.

 

Jose Manchester United

 

And no.

Such are the facts.
