Manchester United fans woke up to the news on Wednesday morning that Jose Mourinho was back in management after replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham.
The Portuguese was sacked by United just over 11 months ago and will make his return to the Old Trafford dug-outs on December 4 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side host Spurs in the league.
There were mixed feelings when Mourinho left the club last December and since he's been back at the club as a pundit he's been given a warm reception by the home crowd but it could be a different matter when he returns as Spurs boss next month.
While there's been mixed reaction from the fans on social media with some welcoming the news and others upset by it, there's plenty suggesting Mourinho should take Nemanja Matic with him.
The Serbian has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and is open to a January move out of the club.
Here's a look at how the fans reacted to Wednesday morning's news about Mourinho.
The Matic to Spurs tweets have begun.

A Mourinho fan.
As a Manchester United fan, I couldn’t care less about what happens at Spurs as long as if doesn’t negatively affect United

However, as a fan of what Jose Mourinho has done for United and for football, I hope he proves everyone wrong and shows why he’s the Special One #GoodLuck pic.twitter.com/GqLnEqgynb

He'll thrive.
Mourinho about to prove that the problem at @ManUtd is not the managers but executives like Woodward. Expect him to thrive with a shrewd boss like Levy at the helm. #MourinhoIn #THFC #MUFC
