Hafnia Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Well..... Let's just say I think he will be off from United. What mourinho did today was disgusting. Subbing a sub who wasn't injured or who wasn't playing poorly? The man is an absolute prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yep, the special one is definitely a special kind of hole. I hope Mata leaves as he deserves better, and we would be a great home for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Not this again. I wont allow myself to hope again I just wont. Mata made it clear he wanted to fight for his place....

gethinO Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Mourinho showed why he's a grade one prick. Substituting a sub is humiliating and it looks as though his intention was to humiliate Mata. With the arrival of Pogba I'm sure Mata is now available. I'd love him to come here. He'd be appreciated and adored by us as I think he'd be a fantastic signing for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37005699 Hmm.... Yeah, ok José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Some United fans are suggesting that this is a ploy to get Mata to hand in a transfer request. That way, it doesn't look bad on Jose for 'getting rid' of a fan/player favourite. It looks as if he's forcing the move. All in all, Jose for whatever reason, has always been a grade A cunt when it comes to Mata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof_It_Nev Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 He was subbed in the 93rd minute though, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. It's just part of time wasting surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlblue Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Pogba signing surely means one of UTD's midfielders if not two are surplus to requirements. They are overloaded in Midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just part of time wasting surely? he could have picked another player if that was the case.... its an unwritten rule in football. He always does something like this to let the players know what he's about. I think its naughty. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead1 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Apparently he took Mata off because he was the smallest player on the pitch. I bet he felt like the smallest person in the whole of Wembley after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his reasoning was pretty sound to be honest,Leicester were lumping balls into the United box from throw ins so he took his smallest player off It would have been pretty stupid to take someone like Fellaini off in that scenario For me it was purely tactical no more no less Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm with Haf, there's an un-written rule on subbing a sub unless the lad is injured or having a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, I would love us to sign Mata so hope you are right, but he isn't the first manager to take off a sub and he won't be the last and as I say I honestly believe his reasoning was sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 As others have said... It's an unwritten rule and a manager as intelligent as Mourinho knows this. Unfortunately his ego is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately his ego is more important. so glad he didn't come here, imagine all the people whining about tony hibbert with mourinho as a manager. after the first season they'd be rooting for other clubs!
