The logic is so backwards it's incredible. LVG has us playing boring football; solution? Bring in the most negative/cynical (top-level) manager of the 21st century.
The rationalization process is incredible to behold. The emotionally charged frenzy that everybody has whipped themselves into accompanied by excessive knee-jerking resembles nothing other than a mad, angry mob.
Mourinho is obviously a defensive coach but his football is no way more boring/negative than LVG/Moyes. He still has the record for most goals scored in La Liga/EPL with Madrid/Chelsea.

Mourinho is a no brainer for united instead of trying to turn giggs into something he probably isn't.
I agree, don't particularly want Mourinho but the reality is SAF was a total one off and the majority of managers will probably only last a few years. Mourinho would basically guarantee a league title and a decent shot at Europe in his 3 seasons especially with the spending power United have, I'd take that even if it meant a 3rd or 4th season meltdown.

Joses bus is way more entertaining than LvG square and back. Even with his bus his teams do still attack now and again.
This, nothing can be worse than the last 2+ seasons.
