It wasn't through any of their own doing they kept him though. The Real Madrid paperwork was late and went past the deadline. Only then did he sign a new contract.
Kept him regardless though and he's cemented his place as the best in the world.
Should deffo be standing on the podium come January.

I think rather than crediting Man Utd for keeping him, we should say they're lucky to have kept him and not lost him to Real, lol. I think he's second best - Neuer is the the best.

It was Woodward's plan all along

Tbh i'm quite surprise with the way news broke out the way it has. If the plan was to announce it on tuesday, who "leaked" it essentially? We were all expecting it but not the way it's come out.

Nah it worked like that with Moyes too.
United probably just briefed the media for the fans now but won't officially sack him until Mon/Tues to allow LVG to have a few days as the FA cup winners. Could also be Mourinho's people that leaked it though.
Wish we could watch the press conference. Interesting to see what he says.
I can give you the gist of what his press conference will be:
"For last 20 minutes we are facing 11 players and the referee *complains about ref for a few minutes*"
But what about the result, are you happy?
"Yes. Are you not happy?"
I'm asking you, I mean did you like what you saw out there from your team?
"Yes of course. We are always fighting, and when you are fighting and you give your best, that is all you can do. We have fought and played so I am happy."
There's rumour that Jose Mourinho will be taking over now. Do you have any reaction to this?
"Look, I am the manager, I have one year left. There is nothing to discuss."
But Louis...
"If you will excuse me now, I must go celebrate winning the F. A. Cup. You are welcome to some sausage rolls and tea, but I am leaving to enjoy the cup, getting in my expensive car and drive home to have brilliant top sex with my wife. You may follow me there and ask questions, but I wouldn't recommend this as it would kill the mood and leave my wife sexually unhappy, thank you."

Still bit distasteful imo. Even if the rumours of him being a director of football are true.
