Well that's a myth. A lot of people were believing Mourinho was the one holding United squad back by his football style back then, and that the squad was capable of more than what it was showing. The honeymoon period of Ole came as a proof for them back then as well.When he took over, no one in football considered the squad title contenders. The beginning of this season had most people considering us as contenders. I'd say that's leaving the club in a better position.
The squad just became absolute shit in people's eyes because they wanted to defend Ole horrible run of form at the end of the season he got the job.
Anyway, nothing has changed, took us in 6th miles away from the top, left us in 7th miles away from the top.
Just splashed more money on established players and gave us an undroppable awful captain in Maguire for 80m, a 2 +35 years old strikers with no future and a fecked up midfield.
