Jose is a bit muted. He must have been up late celebrating Portugal's win in the other Euros.

That and the fact his entire season now rests on one match vs Ajax.

Personally, I hope Utd beat Ajax, I would always support a British side against a foreign one, or a northern side against a southern one, or a north western side against one from another region...............well almost always........

I met a fairy today who granted me one wish.
"I wish I could live forever," I said.
"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that."
"Fine," I said, "in that case I wish I could live until Spurs win the Premiership."
"You crafty beggar" said the fairy.

I hope Ajax wallop them. Not because I have anything against Man Utd especially, but British sides have treated the tournament as a nuisance so I don't think any of them deserve to win it.

Same here, but for different reasons. I just can't stand that whinging bastard in charge at Man U.

I can think of one British side not treating it as a nuisance.

I used to like the man but after last season he has gone down in my estimation. Brilliant manager in his pomp but maybe past his prime now.
He has screwed up in the PL this season with the most expensively assembled squad ever in the country (and quite possibly) in the entire history of football *- a major embarrassment to him although...
...he did say the other day that even if they lose the EL they have had a successful season.
*1) MUFC
2) Real Madrid
3) MCFC
Mind you - it's only Chelsea who buy trophies as we all know.

I think he has a severe inferiority complex. Confident people know that they cannot be the best all the time and are happy to admit to second best now and again. JM can't accept defeat neither can he accept that sometimes it may be his own fault. He will lash out and blame everyone and everything and give no credit to his opponents. That used to intimidate people, but it has gone on for so long he is fast becoming a parody of himself.I used to like the man but after last season he has gone down in my estimation.

I think it's a shame that MUFC employed him. It was probably a desperation thing after the poor performance of the other post-SAF incumbents.
I hold them in high regard and, although their star has waned over the last few years, they are the standout team in the history of UK football and are certainly on a par with the Spanish & Italian giants with regards to modern era success. No other team comes close.
Their record is amazing and one that I would love to see Chelsea emulate but that won't happen in the balance of my lifetime.
I truly believe that JM will drag United down still further if he doesn't start to perform early next season..

I am a staunch MUFC fan. Born and bred in the right place at the right time. (contra @SpokeyDokey - I have very little interest in whether Chelsea's players are foreign or 'home grown' - maybe I'm just someone who thinks that the planet is just one great big community of human beings rather than thinking in xenophobic terms. ) - 
and just picks his favourite team out of a hat containing millions of teams. Lucky for him his team was fairly local .
I like JM. Haven't always admitted to it. In fact, I've felt like i've hated him at times. But he has wanted to manage MUFC for a long time. So that's OK. Yes, he is moaner, but he is showing his humanity. I'd rather have a JM on the wane than LVG any day.
He's an alright bloke JM.
