Fans on Twitter react to Terry announcement

John Terry’s departure from Chelsea has got some Manchester United fans on Twitter wondering whether Old Trafford might be his next destination.

Terry will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, having made 713 appearances since his debut back in 1998, with his best years coming in the two spells under Jose Mourinho.

And a few United supporters are keen for Mourinho to snap up the 36-year-old – even if it would be a controversial, and unlikely, move.

Get Terry at @ManUtd Jose. #MUFC

Big call here, and quite contentious….

Terry to join Mourinho at #mufc??

He says football left, also a ‘Jose’ player

Welcomed, or not?

With the shortage of top class C/H’s out there go and get John Terry for 12-18months in the summer Jose and that will bring Bailly on alot

Wonder what the odds are on John Terry to United in the summer? 😂 Jose wants a defender, Terry is Jose’s mate…

Imagine if Jose handed Terry a year contract….

‘The JT stand’

Chelsea fans, meanwhile, have been paying tribute to Terry, with some suggesting a stand at the rebuilt Stamford Bridge should be named after him, while others want the club to retire his number 26 shirt.

End of an era at chelsea football club! JT will always be a legend at this club!
New stadium with a new stand name – The JT Stand?? #CFC
