More to the disappointment of many haters, Jose Mourinho has finally been appointed as Manchester United‘s coach, officially.

The former Chelsea manager was unveiled as the club’s coach May 27, in a ceremony held late in the evening. He signed a three-year deal with an option of a fourth.
Mourinho has been long speculated to take over reigns from Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford since losing his contract at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, the Dutchman narrowly missed a place in the English Premier League’s top four and this, allegedly caused him the job.
On many occasions, there’s been rumors that LVG won’t be leaving the Red Devils; and that Mou had fallen out of favor from Manchester United legends. All speculations has remained possibilities until yesterday.
These are Twitter comments on Jose’s appointment:
Being first is in his blood.

Next season will be electric in the dugouts. Mourinho, Klopp, Guardiola, Conte all fresh and keen….and Wenger of course.
Mourinho + @ManUtd together at last. What’s not to like unless you don’t support @ManUtd. Hopefully fear factor that’s been missing is back.
Sooooo happy that Mourinho is @ManUtd manager. Should have happened 3 yrs ago! Want to forget the last 3 yrs, even FA cup win felt bizarre!
Watching Jose Mourinho talk about Manchester United and using “us” makes me cry all of the happy tears. #WelcomeJose
Mourinho unveiling isn’t until July but isn’t he managing a charity game there next week? Should help sell some tickets
Mourinho will be brilliant at United. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a footballing neanderthal.
Just wish he’d come to Arsenal.

Controversial. Mourinho to replace De Gea. #WelcomeJose#AdiosDave
He waited so long for the chance and now he has it. Patience is a virtue.
Fantastic goods from you, man. Mourinho is one of the best coaches in football history.
Manchester United for ever!
