So, in the least surprising news of 2016 so far, our bitter rivals have decided to appoint Jose Mourinho as their new boss.
Yep, that’s the same Mourinho who took the reigning champions to the verge of being in the bottom three by the mid-way point last season.

Now, we don’t want to dedicate too many column inches to a man that we dumped out of the Champions League semi-finals (twice), but we thought we’d share some of the Twitter reaction from Liverpool fans up and down the country. Mainly because a lot of it is hilarious.
Have a look for yourselves:
@LivEchoLFC @LivEchonews he’s the managerial equivalent of a panic buy after Guardiola went to city.

@LivEchoLFC @neiljonesecho Only worried FOR manu, as “The whining one” has an expencive way to play defensive football. Not their style. — Morten Flengsrud (@Flengsrud) May 27, 2016
@Andrew_Heaton there’ll be loads of sniddiness at OT from Mourinho but he’ll melt at Anfield. Can’t wait for winter for his new #shitcoat

Utd fans really are amongst the most hypocritical in the world. “We want attacking football” they kept bleating now “Mourinho is a messiah!”

Mourinho took Chelsea closer to relegation than Klopp did Dortmund, but it’s ok because he celebrated in front of the away fans ay Anfield.

Mourinho is nuts, there’s no mystique and romance associated with man utd… If you want these traits just look at anfield and the fans #lfc
