As much as it's a typically ridiculous thing for Jose to come out with, I think he might've said something about it being the biggest because it's the next important one or something like that.

He's so full of shit though he might actually have meant it as it's being reported!

If he'd said biggest game of the season or biggest game for 5 years then I might consider cutting him some slack but this is a club with multiple trophy successes both domestically and in Europe.

He's getting his excuses in early I see.

He's already said he'll play a weakened team against Palace. I presume the authorities will as diligent in their investigation as they were for David Wagner or Ian Holloway previously now that it's a a big name manager (not that it really matters what 11 he fields).

Winston Biscuit 1 win in the last 7 games.


Last seven league games? They beat Celta Vigo

Played 14 games since Apr 1. League games have
been dead rubbers since they drew at Swansea.

all games not league, Celta Vigo is their only win.

Were they dead rubbers if Man Utd lose the UEFA Cup final? sounds like you are falling for Mourinho's waffle

12 points dropped in the last 5 league games, if they just picked up half those dropped points they would be going into the last league game fighting for 4th place

nah not falling for the nonsense. Since the draw against
Swansea 4th place has been realistically unobtainable.

Too many games, injuries and non United level players
(FeLOLaini, Lingard, Smalling, Jones, Darmian, Rooney)

Sorry don't buy that - if they'd won at Arsenal and last night they'd be on 71pts. Yes, would need a Liverpool choke, but that has happened before, to get in but to just give up on it is ridiculous and certainly not what you expect of Man Utd. If they manage to beat Ajax then fair enough, you could argue it was worth it but risky call.

SKY were berating Mourinho last night. However. IF they beat Ajax, United will have had a better season than Spurs, City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Generally agreed that if Man Utd win the cup then their season can very much be viewed as a success, but better is a subjective term and I think there would be many Spurs fans who would consider their trophyless season as better than Man Utd's (based on where they have come from, where they are trying to get to etc)

Disagreed. IF United win the Europa League history will show they've won TWO trophies this season. Nobody remembers the 'nearly's'.

The best United can hope for is 'scraping' CL qualification
by winning a tinpot European competition.

Decent for JM's first season but not good enough if repeated.

A minute silence/whatevs in a big(ish) game featuring a team
from the City affected is IMNSHO a good reason for a gesture
