If Manchester Utd had any sense, they’d bring in Wenger until the end of the season while they take time over a longer term appointment.
Knows the league back to front, would instantly command the squad’s respect and would have them playing football sharpish. #Mourinho pic.twitter.com/mmH7R89eTA

Mourinho took over at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016 and went on to win the Community Shield, the EFL Cup and the Europa League during his first season at the club.
In his second campaign, United finished trophy-less and 19 points behind rivals and champions Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.
He leaves after having won just seven of the opening 17 games of the ongoing Premier League campaign – the club’s worst start to a since 1990 – with his final match ended in defeat against arch-rivals Liverpool.
