All the Mourinho reaction, Juan Mata seeks reassurances

By
A turbulent week for Manchester United rounded off with some great news for supporters, as the Red Devils now look forward to next season with confidence.
The win in the FA Cup final last week was marred by the sacking of Louis van Gaal 48 hours later and plenty has happened since then.
With rumours rife and speculation flying everywhere, the club finally made the announcement everyone had wanted on Friday.
With that in mind, here is a round-up of everything surrounding the club as we wrap up the business week.
Manchester United confirmed the arrival of Jose Mourinho as their new manager on Friday. The 53-year-old signed a three-year deal with the option of a further year and admitted after he could not turn down such a massive club like the Red Devils. Manchester United created 312 chances in the league this season.
Furthermore, Manchester United‘s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has labelled Jose Mourinho the “best manager” in the game, after the arrival of the 53-year-old at the club today. Woodward played a big part in luring the former Chelsea manager to Old Trafford and had plenty of words to hail the Portuguese tactician. Manchester United averaged 55% possession in the league this season. (Official website)
However, Manchester United fear the appointment of Mourinho will not be enough to convince David De Gea to stay at the club this summer. The 25-year-old came agonisingly close to joining Real Madrid last summer, but has still been tipped to join Los Blancos this summer. Whilst Mourinho has replaced Louis van Gaal at the helm, talks over convincing De Gea to stay in England are not looking positive at the moment. De Gea kept 15 clean sheets in the league this season.

Juan Mata’s advisers are set to seek assurances from Jose Mourinho to make sure he still has a role to play at Manchester United. The 28-year-old was sold by the new United boss whilst they were at Chelsea together and Mata is unsure whether he will be in Mourinho’s plans once he takes over the Red Devils in July. Mata created more chances (53) than any other Man Utd player in the league this season. (Daily Mail)

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

By
It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
