    Should have been done long ago, before he did something good for your club.

    Press conference at 1.

    The media have been unbelievably disrespectful and the club have certainly not covered themselves in glory here.

    Feel sorry for the mad bastard.

    I agree not been handled particularly well (is this a surprise anymore). Hard to feel sorry for someone who is going to be told take a year off for £7+ million though ;p

    Even heard reports that Giggs was told to just go on vacation and that there was nothing to discuss. How nasty can you get as a club? Wayne and Blind had expressed their support for Van Gaal, but I guess that doesn't matter.

    I hope that Van Gaal comes back with a vengeance. He is a great manager, that remains an undeniable fact.

    In other news, Morata likely to leave Juventus. Maybe he'd be good for Arsenal or United.

    I don't think anyone is going to argue that it's been handled terribly, probably worse than City's announcement of Guardiola back in Feb undermining Pellegrini.

    Wayne is super well trained by Colleen in all things media (unlike the Utd board), what else were you expecting from him?

    I hope that Van Gaal comes back with a vengeance. He is a great manager, that remains an undeniable fact.
    Presume he's just going to retire, as he planned to do after this third year anyway.

    If I was Morata I'd go to Chelsea.

    They'll probably play with two up top with Conté and he would deffo get a game.

    Or he could take the easy route and go to Arsenal and get picked behind Giroud.

    Let's be honest, it pretty much was.

    Leaking it to the media the second after he'd won a cup.

    Not claryfying the situation and letting the media spin it out of control.

    As I said earlier, I believe the decision was made before the FA Cup. If United hadn't won, people wouldn't be saying how "disgusting" it was. However I agree reporting it the second after winning was a bad move by the media.

    If United had already bought Mourinho they should've come clean instead of hiding in the shadows until the media crashed on the topic.

    EDIT: Apparently Zlatan going to United is a done deal. Have fun with two egoistic maniacs on the same team.

    A 34 year old being brought in to replace a pair of U21's when it's not even our problem position.

    Fucking age of Mou has begun.

    They even offered Zlatan a spot of Assistant-coach after he retires, apparently. United will be dark and full of terrors in the coming years if this is true.

    Apparently Woody and Louis van Gaal are still having their friendly chat. Moyes was out after 40 mins.

    I am calling shenanigans! (Have to do something while spending 5 hours at the most dull and boring lecture in the history of marine engineering)

    Where was this 'LVG is the saviour of youth' last summer, when he shipped out Blackett, Januzaj and a few other youth players?

    Did anyone honestly miss Januzaj though?

    Apparently the Dutch papers know Van Gaal is sacked even though nothing has been confirmed by the club. Fucking disrespectful cunts.
