Montreal advanced to the quarter-finals

Paul Merson believes Jose Mourinho is the only man for Manchester United if they want to challenge for the Premier League title next season. With Louis van Gaal at the helm, United are outsiders to finish in the top four heading into the final day of the season, although they do have an FA Cup final to look forward to on May 21.Van Gaal has a year left to run on his deal at Old Trafford but there have been reports in Italy that Mourinho has agreed to replace the Dutchman in the summer. Asked whether he thinks Van Gaal will still be there if United miss out on fourth, Merson told Sky Sports Now: I think that will be it, he will be gone, and Jose Mourinho will be the next manager.If they want to get anywhere near where they want to be, they need to do it quickly, and there is no manager that can do things quickly like Mourinho. Jose Mourinho admits hell return to football in July but where will he end up? His impact is very quick and thats what United want. Van Gaal has a year left on his contract and if you keep him and then three months into the next season he is not doing well then whoever comes in takes over a struggling team, thats no good.The change needs to be made now, Jose Mourinho is the only man for Manchester United, the only man who can bring quick success.While Van Gaals future remains under scrutiny, Roberto Martinez was sacked on Thursday after a below-par season with Everton. Roberto Martinez was sacked by Everton on Thursday The Toffees are 12th in the Premier League ahead of their final match against Norwich.While Merson says their league position is not good enough and the players must take some of the blame, he added: Martinez is a manager who could manage Barcelona.He plays a type of football that doesnt suit the Everton fans, they want action and if he went to Barcelona he would be a success. They want playing out from the back and he is very good at that. Also See: Mersons predictions Jose knows nothing about Utd What next for Zlatan? Man Utd fixtures Cheap Patriots Jerseys .

He was a stabilizing presence on an otherwise struggling team, as the Impact finished last in the MLS standings at 6-18-10.At his age, and with the Impact struggling, he said he had to think about winning and ending his career on a high note.I dont think in my mindset I ever wanted to leave, Bernier said. It was, Where are we going?The moves the Impact have made thiis off-season, adding a wealth of European experience, seems to have provided adequate direction for Bernier.ddddddddddddDonadel is a veteran of 244 games in Italys elite Serie A, and Reo-Coker played over 200 games in the English Premier League before joining the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2013.Were going to have a team thats going to erase this past season, Bernier said.Bernier has 13 goals and 19 assists in 84 MLS regular-season games over three seasons with the Impact.He was named the teams player of the year in 2012 and took part in the 2013 MLS all-star game against Italian side A.S. Roma.Having been a part of some of the clubs biggest moments, Bernier said it would have been difficult to play for another MLS team.I didnt see anywhere else to play, at least here in North America, he said. It would have been weird to be somewhere else.And Bernier will have the chance to play competitive soccer next year even if the Impact have another bad MLS season. Montreal advanced to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League and will play a two-leg series with Mexican club Pachuca starting in February.Internationally, Bernier has made 50 appearances with Canadas senior mens team, scoring two goals.With midfield now set for the Impact, manager Frank Klopas said the teams next target is to improve at centre-back.
