The dippers lose the Europa League final, we win the FA Cup and Mourinho is announced on Monday. That would be a nice week

From football 365, a happy positive United post
It is a bit bloody exciting though
Allowing for the unedifying way in which the news was broken (by whichever party), Mourinho to United still absurdly exciting.
As has been noted elsewhere, there’s the core of very good team and squad at Old Trafford. De Gea is better than ever. Add a genuine passing centre-back (not Blind or Rojo) to Smalling, Darmian and Shaw, and there’s a strong defence with decent back-ups from the academy and squad. Another central midfielder would be great, but a three of Schneiderlin, Herrera and Rooney would be a decent starting point, and is probably the easiest way to accommodate Rooney into a starting XI without compromising the team in attack.
In attack, Rashford and Martial are scarily talented, and both seem to have impressive tactical discipline for young players. The prototype Mourinho striker is probably Drogba or Eto’o, a model Martial in particular looks close to. Even if Ibra arrives, he won’t play every match, and might actually be good influence on both as they develop. Behind them, I’d dearly love to see Memphis flourish, and there are no downsides to giving him another season, under a different manager, to settle at United. Lingard is a reliable squad player at best, who presumably will be retained on the basis that he’s Mancunian, tactically disciplined, and technically sound (essentially Park with a Warrington accent). Pereira deserves far more game time than van Gaal gave him, and could be an excellent player if given a chance.
And Mourinho, crucially, is a winner. If his football can be astonishingly negative in games where he feels his team is inferior, so could Fergie’s (hence the Reyes hatchet job in 2004). In general, his teams have been based on a solid defence, core of trusted lieutenants, and an attacking style that prioritises mobility and speed. A glance back to most of Fergie’s great teams would see much the same.
Chris, MUFC

We just 2 weeks ahead of a new season, and every pieces seems to come in order. We have smashed the transfer market, likes it's no tomorrow.
But I don't understand that everyone is calling Mourinho "The Special One". We already have a special one in our team, so let me introduce you all with the genious Special Ed:
Let's have a cracking season everyone, and great times are again up for grasp.

When you think of it , the size and appeal of Manchester United is really something , i mean Arsenal with champions league gets turned down by Vardy and here we even without CL is bringing the most in demand midfielder in the world to old trafford !
