Our Mancehster United fans here in the Transfer Tavern are trying to remain confident ahead of their remaining fixtures and the Champions League qualification battle.
It’s been another season where United have struggled at times as, though they haven’t lost many, they’ve also not scored enough goals to turn draws into wins.
Indeed, the men from Old Trafford now have some serious work to do if they are to finish in that top four and return to the Champions League for next season.
Many here in the bar thought that Jose Mourinho would have really invigorated the club but it seems, in fact, that times have not really changed since Louis van Gaal up to now.
Certainly, that’s how things are looking when you consider this upload from Sky Sports comparing the pair’s records in their first 28 games:

Naturally, then, Twitter has been quick to react from all quarters and so here is the best of that reaction:
@SkyFootball Funny I don’t see a Pellegrini and Guardiola comparison? Or does that not fit with your anti Mourinho agenda https://t.co/IL8mOlcTXh

@SkyFootball Funny, this time last season you were displaying a similar meme, only David Moyes’ face was on it.

@SkyFootball Funny how every fan frm every other club is worried about United more than United fans under Jose. Suddenly everyone is better than Mourinho

@SkyFootball Mourinho philosophy has always been ‘not to lose’ which seems to have done him well over the years !
