'Just like Moyes!' — Manchester United fans make prediction as Chelsea appoint Graham Potter

Manchester United fans have all been saying the same thing after Chelsea announced the appointment of their new manager Graham Potter.

The 47-year-old Englishman had been the head coach at Brighton since 2019 having enjoyed a successful spell at Swansea City. Potter's last match in charge of the Seagulls came last weekend when his team beat Leicester City 5-2 at the AMEX Stadium.

Speaking on his arrival at Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel's successor, Potter said: "I am incredibly proud and excited to represent Chelsea FC, this fantastic football club. I am very excited to partner with Chelsea’s new ownership group and look forward to meeting and working with the exciting group of players and to develop a team and culture that our amazing fans can be proud of.
