Manchester Mou-nited

The Independent leads in reporting this morning, 58 minutes ago, that Jose Mourinho, cad to Dr. Eva Carneiro, will be announced as new boss at Old Trafford after today's FA Cup final with Crystal Palace. Pending one last bomb sniff of the toilets.

Really, there was no other way forward for United. Poor Louis van Gaal. Poor David Moyes. Managing in the immense shadow of Sir Alex Ferguson with Mourinho lurking constantly behind the curtains. No, this should have been done three years ago.

And now once again, the football universe revolves around its Middle Kingdom of Manchester. Jose Mourinho vs Pep Guardiola. There was no other way. This was meant to be.
