Manchester United fan opinion: 'Get rid of Mourinho if we're going to play long ball rubbish'

fan and talkRADIO.co.uk editor Gareth Platt was upset with the Red Devils' tactics in the UEFA Super Cup defeat against Real Madrid

If this is how Manchester United are going to play this season, the club should get rid of Jose Mourinho as soon as possible.

Apologies to my fellow Reds if this comes off as fickle, or reactionary. Apologies for not backing the manager, as Fergie implored us to do. But you and I both know that, to coin Sir Matt Busby’s famously cutting appraisal, that wasn’t Manchester United last night.

A club as big as United, hell a club as big as Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea, should never resort to hoofing the ball up to a big target man with over a third of the game to go.
