Paul Ince slams Man Utd star in rant - "What is he good for? Nothing!"
Premier League great has slammed Manchester United star. When Romelu Lukaku isn’t scoring for Manchester United, he brings 'nothing' to the table, according to Paul Ince.

His goal tally has been poor so far as he’s only been able to find the net five times - well off the pace of the current leader, Pierre-Em

Why it’s really time for Mourinho to go.
When Jose Mourinho was first unveiled as the new Manchester United manager in May 2016, I went on record as saying that they’d “hired the wrong man at the right time”. After all, while the Portuguese was (and never will be) a stylistic match for the Red Devils, his winning mentality and ability to attract some of the world’s best players was desperately required after three years of relative stagnation under the leadership David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. This made the capture
