The squad isn't good enough, whether it's Mourinho, Jesus, the prophet etc etc we will not achieve much. We have so many average players that need shipping out to bring in better ones. We don't have ANY world class defender FFS, not a single one, we don't have a true captain, De Gea and Pogba are the only players who would break into other teams' lineups. The two managers that we had were so shit. Look at the recruitments they made and how much we suffered to do a proper transition from all the deadwood we have.
You guys want United to compete on all fronts despite NOT having a good squad, who the feck you think we are? Rebuilding takes time especially with a giant like United, we all criticize and talk shit as if our squad is able to compete, it is NOT. Until we clear out the deadwood and replace them with decent players we will not achieve much regardless who the coach is.

If anyone argues that this is a good squad of players then that is wrong & potentially biased.
However - it does not take a particularly high bunch of capable players to play as a solidly interactive team.
These same players that we see right now have previously been more team orientated under different managers & even under Jose at the start of his tenure and in my opinion has been becoming more and more individualised as the seasons have gone on - from LVG's last season to Jose's 3rd season - this is obvious & this includes a lack of a team orientated game plan. A lack of teamwork can limit the ability or capability of a lot of our players individually. On the other side - individually capable players like Zlatan hardly need players around them to do their job for them.
If that is not to be blamed on Jose - then who is? Players that he himself has bought in line with his 'ethos' ie the physical types of Matic, Lukaku are looking more individualised and distinct from the rest of the team compared to everyone else - whilst also Being showed clear favouritism by the manager.
The players are rubbish but ultimately Jose's individual tactics that have in history benefitted the selfish individuals such as Zlatan, Et0'0, Robben, Ronaldo, pepe, Ramos, Lampard the goalscpring Am, Balotelli etc etc have been great for Jose getting them to mind their own business on and off the pitch - but players like that would only very rarely make it in a team orientated team such as Pep's Barcelona as seen by Zlatan failing there & Eto'0 being chucked out after a year.
Ultimately United have historically been a team and an army of a modified belief. These bunch of individuals playing in a football formation will never be good enough for Manchester United. The players will no doubt change because some are not good enough to play here at old Trafford - however a mistake of that would be Jose getting himself a bunch of individuals that are hesitant in being able to even make 5 passes along each other.
We deserve better than Mourinho & his ability for success is not all that much valued by some of us.
