You must be a very popular person in real life

Ouch.

Aliyah, relax guys. Anyway, 2 more days to the closing of the window. Will it be Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld or Jerome Boateng?

Every football pundit seems to be saying Man Utd has no chance of winning the title this season. If Mourinho can pull this off by winning the title against all odds, he will be the best manager in the Premier League. Winning the title at Man Utd will be his biggest success in his managerial career.

It will either be a success or failure for Mourinho at Man Utd.

Why will he be the "best manager in PL" if he can capture the title ?

Jose has a grp of players whom by their individual statistics are above average in their respective role. I will not use term such as best or world class as they are very subjective.

The manager needs to get the 10 outfield players to work as a team and motivate these players to put in their best the moment the kick off whistle is blown. He should just stop whining day in day out like a small kid.... he is pre-emp the whole world .. blame Ed if he cant deliver silverware in the new season

This was something that Moyes, Gaal and Jose could not do consistently and they chose to blame everything or everyone else except their tactics or man-management style.

I am not sure what is the love for Boateng which cost about 50M pound when Mina's price is 30M pound and much younger?



Maybe the next signing done by Ed Woody might be a new manager instead:D

If we look at all the first team transfers in the 6 years preceding Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, we see a transfer strategy with clarity and a purpose. Robin Van Persie and Michael Owen were the only players above the age of 27 that were signed.

Owen on a free and Van Persie as a farewell gift for Ferguson. The rest, except perhaps Berbatov, were all signed based on their potential or on their ability to fit within the vision that the manager had for the club.

Since Ferguson’s retirement, and the inevitable subsequent downturn in on-pitch fortunes, the club has been desperately trying to get back to the top by splashing the cash on established superstars.The result: United have been led on wild-goose chases by the likes of Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos while making some statement signings such as Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba, and Romelu Lukaku.

While the need to quickly get back to the top in the short-term is understandable, the club seems to have missed a trick in the medium to long-term by ignoring their old transfer policy of taking a punt on players with potential.The youth system at the club has fallen behind local rivals Manchester City over the years.

When United were conducting a root-and-branch review of their youth system, City had unveiled the Etihad campus and their youth team, alongside Chelsea's, is thriving in the FA Youth Cup.The likes of Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford may still be keeping the United academy flag flying in the first team, but the emergence of talents such as Phil Foden and Brahmin Diaz is a subtle evidence of a changing of the guard.

Taking their eye off the ball with respect to the youth policy may turn out to be the most costly error of all for United.

The need to "buy success" became a reality in Jan 2014 when the team was heading to nowhere with Moyes in charge although they still make it to the CL Quarter Final losing to Bayern Munich ...again.

I had said after Fergie's retirement.. the club can still absorb couple of years without Champion League's revenue...but for domestic competition, they should be challenging for the title till the month or week before the end of the season....a FA Cup or League Cup will only serve as a consolation price since most of the teams in England are treating them as worthless competition. The big sponsorship with Adidas requires the club to do well in the CL competition which I believe at least a Quarter Final place....

Sir Bobby Charlton had some issues with Jose's appointment cos of his behavior and whining.... let's see how things will develope.
