Mourinho will just replace the players with ones that will, simple as that. You can see if someone pisses him off hes out. Martial for example, not only left out the team but out of the squad. I reckon its 60/40 whether hes here next season, especially if we bring in another striker or 2. Griezmann has been mentioned, and the young kid from Ajax, Dolberg. Add to the fact he will strengthen midfield and probably RW some players will have to shape up or ship out.
But Mourinho is crazy in his decisions
I think a major problem is he shoehorned Ibra and Pogba in the team and he refuses to look at any other options that could work. Ibra and Pogba are the most wastefull players in the entire squad this season in terms of missing big chances yet he keeps them on the field no matter what. Both of them play in the positions that are responsible for creating chances and scoring goals.Another example is he persists with playing Herrera in the midfield while he hasn't scored a goal this season and provided very little assists. Using Rooney and Lingard as preferred sub over Martial is also something that doesn't sit well with me. Nor is the fact he keeps playing Rashford on the wing whilst the guy is a clear central striker.
We should be playing like this imo:
-------------CM-----Pogba---------
Mkhitaryan----Mata/Rooney--------Martial
------------Ibra/Rashford----------
For CM he should be experimenting with Herrera, Fellaini and TFM to see who partners best with Pogba
Pogba needs to be as a central midfielder and not as a 10. The formation should have space for either a real 10 or a second striker to partner Ibra/Rashford (currently Mata and rooney)
I'am ok with Ibra playing as first choice for the striker but when he is not playing well Mourinho should have the balls to drop him and play Rashford. They should be in competition for the same spot.
For the wings just trust the quality of Mkhitaryan and Martial and let them play themself into good form. We all know their quality just trust in it instead of jerking them around, especially with Martial it is a cardinal sin how he has been treating him. Lingard can be used for rotation aswell as Rashford (but not his primary position).
Next year you build on that and move out Rooney, Fellaini and get Griezmann and a good CM (for example Naingolan)
And you play like this:
----------Naingolan----Pogba----------
Mkhitaryan-----Griezmann-----Martial
----------------Ibra/Rashford------------
Add a proper footballing CB to partner Bailly and sort out our problems on leftback and you have a very balanced team with top notch quality.
But Mourinho is fecking us up with his 3 man midfield bullshit and putting far too much trust in Pogba and Ibra to sort out everything in attack.
