When Mourinho first arrived in England he was a superb manager, took the league by storm, won by the highest points total of any team in Premier League. When he came back he wasn't as an intimidating figure as he originally was.
Also, it's all well and good playing young players but actually aiding their development is what makes a good manager. Not just sticking them out there and letting them flounder. I draw comparisons to Sterling and Rashford again, Sterling has more goals from fewer appearances this season compared to Rashford.
To me, "The United Way" was about blooding young players and turning them from capable, skillful youngsters in to world class stars, Giggs, Beckham, Rooney, De Gea etc. I've not seen that from Mourinho, all I can see is spats, scuffles and tantrums, the only thing that springs to mind with Jose and players at United is him having a massive bust up with Mkhitaryan and him not being played since. Same with when he had a falling out with Mata at Chelsea and treated him to the same courtesy.
Yes Manchester United are 2nd in the league, in the knock out stages of the CL but their net spend on players was £136m in the last transfer window, City were the only team to better them and the players they have bought (Jesus, Ederson, Silva) have look like better buys than United's with the exception of Matic. I think United should be challenging City for the title, not limping 11 points behind.
Also, as for Rashford vs Stirling, don't forget a) Rashford has been playing out wide a lot and b) Stirling is 3 years older and you would expect him to be getting more consistency now. Players generally mature 23/24, Pep is obviously helping but the comparison isn't that useful for players in different stages of their development.
I'm not going to defend Mourhino too much, he is an ass, but if we weren't missing vital players at vital times this season, we wouldn't be 11 points behind. Pogba, Rojo, Baily, Fallaini, all massively important to Mourhino's plan have been missing significant amounts of time this season.
Says we were lucky yet in a team that started with Rashford, Zlatan, Pogba and Martial, they didn’t have a single shot on target in the first half.
Man C over two legs next. Haha, absolutely no chance. To do it over one leg is an almost impossible feat but two is just cruel
Didn’t see the game, but even as a Man U fan I can’t help but like the fact results like this can happen and it’s not always the bigger teams that make it through. Hopefully this helps us concentrate on the CL, but to be honest I don’t think we will go too far in that either.
Well done Bristol. Nothing like taking a big scalp in a cup game with a last minute winner!
Congratulations Mate, you should be rightly delighted.
A semi final against the best team I've seen in a decade is really something to savour.
Play to your strengths and it'll be much closer than you think, I like what I saw last night.
Enjoy your trip to Manchester.
Enjoy
It was a clear example of wanting it more
