I believe we have lots of players in our current squad who "get" the club and have created a special bond with the fans. Each case, of course, is different than the other but, in general, i don't think you can suggest that players like De Gea, Smalling, Carrick, Herrera, Mata don't understand the culture of Manchester United. There are also players like Lingard, Blind, Young and Valencia whose working ethics and appreciation of the fact that they're United players makes the fans fancy them despite them not being top class footballers. And then you have players like Martial, Rashford, Januzaj and Bailly recently who are on the cusp of becoming important first team players and extend the long catalogue of young prospects who reached their full potential and became top class footballers while wearing the red shirt.
I don't know what Mourinho's assessment of our youth players is going to be but, as things stand, it looks like Martial, Rashford, Bailly and Shaw will play a significant part in the upcoming season and they're all in their 20s. I said it before but i'll mention it again, being young and coming through the ranks is not the only criteria in order to get first team football. You have to show that you have the quality and that you can handle the pressure of an elite club. I was happy with watching the likes of CBJ, TFM, Perreira and the others too but the truth is that their performances were constantly overestimated simply because those kids were the only silver linings throughout a season in which the results were poor and the football we played absolutely dire.
As for the 20 million to Railola: It's either that or we can vanish into oblivion while waiting for the next class of '92 to emerge. I understand that the numbers that are currently doing the rounds regarding Pogba's transfer are ridiculous but, on the other hand, our denial to enter this transfer circus and play the game is one of the main reasons why our squad still needs strengthening three season's after Ferguson's retirement. Treat it as a necessary evil, even the club with the best academy in the world (Barca) partakes in it...
LvG is gone because, if he had stayed for another season, we would probably have seen people jumping off their balconies in desperation and the sales of anti sleeping pills would have gone crazy in Manchester.
As for your hate for Mourinho, this i understand. I always was of the opinion that the people who didn't want him here always acknowledged his managerial abilities but at the same time they saw him as one of the biggest threats United under Ferguson had to face in the PL. And the truth is that for some time, during the 2004-06 period, we seemed beaten. It's a difficult marriage but also an exciting one after his last season at Chelsea. Both he and United seem to need each other atm while not being the best match for one another.
You (we) will feel much better when the new season kicks off and we will actually have something to discuss.
