Manchester United should go for former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after Man City made a statement by getting Pep Guardiola, says Jamie Redknapp. When the news was announced that Guardiola will join Manchester City in the summer, shockwaves were sent around the Premier League. It was a real statement.Manchester United, and Chelsea to some extent, need to respond. The news marked a changing of the guard. United are no longer able to attract any manager, and that would have hit them like a juggernaut. They need to react; they cannot just sit back. Ryan Giggs has the makings of a great manager but is he the right man to take the challenge to Pep? At the moment, the answer is no - he hasnt got the experience. Theyve got to get someone that has a proven track record of winning trophies, and that man has to be former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Hiddink v LVG Sky Sports examines Louis van Gaal and Guus Hiddinks recent meetings A year or two years ago, I wouldnt have said it, but United havent really got a choice now - theyve got to make a statement. Jose brings a lot of coverage to your club, both good and bad, but he is still box office and I see him at United next season, unless Louis van Gaal can go and win something.I fear the fans may have lost love for Van Gaal and he has to do something, whether it be winning the Europa League, FA Cup or finishing in the top four. There is no reason why United couldnt come second in the league - thats the sort of thing he needs to achieve, and that starts with Sundays trip to the Bridge. Jamie Redknapp joins Ed Chamberlin to preview Sundays fixtures in the Premier League Uniteds performance against Stoke showed that they are not as bad as we think; there just wasnt a lot of love or enjoyment in their game. The manager has struggled to really embrace what United fans want. They hadnt scored a first-half goal in the Premier League at Old Trafford in 11 games. That is not what Manchester United were brought up on.However, it seems United have readdressed things. Maybe the players thought to themselves lets go out there and enjoy playing football. Wayne Rooney has done what all good players do - hes bounced back and rammed peoples words back down their throats.Before this run, his place in the England team was in doubt, with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy ahead of him. Hes shown there is still life in him and thats probably helped Roy Hodgson, who hasnt got a difficult decision to make any more. Rooney has found form, and this is what we want to see. Watch as United beat Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in October 2012 United havent beaten Chelsea in all competitions since 2012 and I see that run continuing, although I do fancy Sundays game to end level. Im sure Van Gaal will take a draw, as too will Hiddink, who continues to build his reputation after a damaging spell in charge of the Netherlands.Saying that, with both managers having coached the Dutch national team, Im sure theyll be keen to get one over each other. I can see there being goals in an evenly-matched game. There isnt a great deal between the two sides, although the league table would tell you differently. Why Mikel for Hiddink? John Obi Mikel is starring for Chelsea under Guus Hiddink. How is he doing it? Chelsea have been much better since Mourinho left and Hiddink has done a really good job. It hasnt been exciting but hes gone in there and settled things down. A time will come, though, when he will have to have a go to win games and see how high they can get up the table. At the moment, he is doing his best to make sure they dont lose games, but it hasnt been great.The announcement that John Terry is to leave the club at the end of the season adds to the feeling of transition under Hiddink, although Ive gone on record to say Im not convinced this will be his final season. Chelsea havent got a single defender better than him, so why would they let him go? Guus Hiddink doesnt see any difference in Chelsea captain John Terry after he claimed his contract will not be renewed I dont see the announcement making any difference to the way Chelsea have performed in recent weeks. John is going to give 100 percent. He is trying to win another contract as that will be in the balance for him.John will get the same reception he has got at Stamford Bridge since he was 17 years of age. He has become an icon at the club and I dont expect anything different. If Terry does go and Hiddink is replaced, there will be a lot of new players and a complete overhaul at the club.New managerial appointments at Chelsea and United, coupled with Peps imminent arrival, mean it all makes for an exciting time in the Premier League.Watch Chelsea v Manchester United on Super Sunday live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 3.30pm.

The Atlanta Falcons sit in the drivers seat in the NFC South and, with a favorable schedule in the final three weeks, are very much in the mix for a first-round playoff bye.But they need to get healthy ahead of the playoffs.The banged-up Falcons (8-5) kick off their closing stretch Sunday, when the lowly San Francisco 49ers (1-12) visit the Georgia Dome for the final time. This is the last season for the Falcons in the dome, before moving down the block to their new stadium for the 2017 season.Wide receiver Julio Jones, who missed last weeks road win over the Los Angeles Rams with a toe injury, will be out again this week.Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn reclassified Jones injury as a sprained toe. Quinn had initially described the injury as turf toe, which could have lingered much longer than the sprain is expected to.Well get him back here shortly, Quinn said of Jones. When he can explode like he does ... the good news is its not something thats going to be a long-term thing.The 49ers are battling their own injuries, with left tackle Joe Staley (hamstring/doubtful) and receiver Torrey Smith (concussion/out). Staley had started 92 consecutive regular-season games, before missing last weeks loss to the New York Jets. Smith is in the leagues concussion protocol and still needs to be cleared before taking the field again.Even if the 49ers were at full-strength, theyd be hard-pressed to keep up with the Falcons, who boast the leagues most prolific offense, led by quarterback Matt Ryan, an MVP candidate. Ryan has already thrown for more than 4,000 yards with 30 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He threw three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Rams.Matts one of those quarterbacks that transcends any system, San Francisco head coach Chip Kelly told reporters Wednesday. It doesnt matter, I really dont think, what system hes running. Although, the one hes running right now hes very, very successful in. I think he fits very well into whatt (offensive coordinator) Kyle (Shanahan) is doing.dddddddddddd But hes had a couple different coordinators and been successful with whoever was coaching him. Thats just the type of player he is. I think hes an elite quarterback.Despite missing Jones and Sanu, the Falcons put up 42 points in the win over the Rams. The 49ers have scored a total of 47 points in their last three games combined.Quarterback Colin Kaepernick will start Sunday against Atlanta. Kaepernick has completed 54.8 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions, since taking over as the starter for Blaine Gabbert in Week 6.I think Colin has gotten better each week with us, Kelly said. The more comfortable he gets in our system, the more comfortable we are around him. ... Weve been pleased with Colin.Kaepernick has yet to lead a victory this season, though. Last week, San Francisco jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter against the Jets, but was held scoreless in the second half and lost their 12th straight game, despite a 193-yard rushing performance from Carlos Hyde.Once again, it comes down to our execution, Kaepernick said. We have to be able to make plays and we didnt make enough in the second half to put points on the board.The Falcons lead the surging Tampa Bay Buccaneers by one game in the NFC South and are within a game of the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions in the battle for the second seed in the NFC.After Sundays game against the 49ers, the Falcons close out the regular season at the Carolina Panthers and at home against the New Orleans Saints. Atlantas three remaining opponents are a combined 11-28.Who were playing and where were playing -- thats kind of irrelevant, so to speak, because you want to just go and battle for it, Quinn said. (Thats) the intent of the players, thats what were set out to do. ' ' '
