Interesting journalism this, to put it nicely.

In a simulation on the latest Football Manager game, David Moyes, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solkjaer and Jurgen Klopp were all installed as Manchester United managers for the 13-14 season, before bein left to their own devices.

David Moyes brought immediate success, retaining the premier league trophy and also winning the league cup. Mourinho finished second in the league and finished the season trophyless. Solkjaer spent 57 million pounds on improving the squad, but still failed to defend the premier league title (he did win the FA cup). Jurgen Klopp was sacked half way through the season, but it may be of note that Van Persie, who had scored 20+ for every other manager, was out most of the season with injury.

Well that must be how the Glazer's came to their decision then.

Red you seem to be spending ever increasing amounts of time using FIFA or FM as a reference for footballing discussions?! The next Manchester United manager - A football manager simulation 692773407
