No but it doesn't really matter. If Mourinho goes elsewhere, our alternative will be Giggs and therefore LvG will rundown his contract no matter what.
The whole idea behind promoting our best academy products to the first team and giving them playing time is that these players will get the chance to prove themselves in an already competitive first team. Playing youngsters just to say we are giving them playing time means absolutely nothing. Our form, up until very recently, has made everyone set the bar really low. Ferguson never did that, he may preferred to stick with an academy player instead of buying another mercenary to fill a gap he had spotted in the first team but he never did it at the expense of the goals he had set for himself and the club. You would never hear Ferguson say "we finished fourth but it's ok because we gave youth a chance"and that's the big difference here.
LvG had one primary objective at United since the first day he was appointed. That's to create a good possession based side able to compete at a top level. And the truth is that he has failed miserably. The bad shape of both City and Chelsea and the fact that everybody's dropping points all the time somewhat hides our poor season. Let me remind you that we have won less than 50% of our league games thus far. That's not acceptable and there's absolutely no guarantee that things will get better next season.
People keep talking about the ability to impose our passing game to our opponents but only yesterday we saw Watford causing us so much problems with their high pressing. And it's not only Watford, we always have problems getting the ball out of the back with urgency and intent whenever the opponent presses us high in our third. I don't see that good passing game, sorry.
I believe we have stagnated as a club and that we still have a squad that would perform better under another manager with a different style of play.
