Yeah that’s fair enough. But I wouldn’t say that’s exactly in United’s philosophy. I’m as United fans obviously not impressed. He wanted to sign Perisic which clearly showing that he prefers Perisic over trying to develop Martial. Same goes with signing Sanchez & Matic. Clearly what Mourinho did wasn’t very impressive, wasting lot of money on ageing players that now end up to be considered as deadwood.This.
Mourinho gave young players minutes though. Rashford was best under his tutoring. McTomminay came through and he gave Gomez his debut etc...
Of all the things u can throw at Mourinho you can’t say he stifled youth with us. They weren’t ready at the time so he couldn’t click his fingers and magically put them in the first 11.
Mourinho understands football and how to win far more than anyone still at our club hence why there was less of a shot in the dark every game.
Periera at RW, Pogba at DM and Lingard playing every game is worse than anything Mourinho ever did at our club. Our current tactics and team selections are absolutely diabolical at times.
At least we didn’t need to waste money by giving Pereira a chance.
