Quality article, misquotes Mourinho, makes assumptions about who he's talking about and ignores the fact that Kehinde hasn't even been playing as a central midfielder all in the space of 6 sentences

Full text for those who can't be bothered to click on the link:

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has hinted that he will look to sign women's long-jump Olympic champion Tianna Bartlett and is not interested in pursuing rumoured target Jessica Ennis-Hill. "I am more a manager that likes specialists and not so much the multi-functional players" said Mourinho.

The comments will add to the ongoing saga which began when United snubbed Ennis-Hill by failing to make any inquiries about her availability after she took the silver medal in the heptathlon in Rio. The celebrated athlete appeared to respond in kind when she congratulated the GB women's hockey team on their gold medal, tweeting 'wow' and making no mention of the 20-time league champions' 2-0 defeat of Southampton that same day.

Long-jumper Bartlett is American and thus has most likely never seen a football before and doesn't know the sport's real name. However she has been tipped to break into the United first team in the near future.

Called up to train with the 1st team apparently. Might make the bench vs Bristol?

Never seen him play, I don't think. He made the step-up for me in FM though and became a beast though.

Potentially. Having a good season so far and we are a bit light in midfield option right now. If he’s given a chance I think he will do well, good player.

He moves a bit like a Spanish midfielder. Does that 360-on-a-sixpence thing they do a lot.

Funny thing about opinions, they differ from one person to the next, you may not find it funny but some do.

Let it be grouchy.
As a Nigerian i do find it a bit offensive. Can't think of a similar stereotype to do with English, but it's like assuming all Mexicans cross the border all because some have done so in the past.

Agreed. Some stupid stereotypes regarding African players in general. I winder if the same remarks would be made towards the England u17/u20 players of Nigerian/West African descent?

And it's like assuming all English speakers are English and not Welsh...

Will he face Bristol from the start?
Doubtfully. McTominay is more established, yet we're not really sure whether he would start, given Pogba will play to get match rhythm after the 3 match ban. Pogba is adventous and it's may be too soon for McTominay to hold the midfield on his own. Matic clearly needs a rest. Carrick may play if he is fit, but then McTominay would have played. Even Tuanzebe may start as defensive midfielder if we're prioritize the more mature players to get minutes. This kid, I meant player is way down the list of priority.

Probably not but then England don't submit players lists like this at major youth tournaments.

Same in Syria, you see in some 3rd world countries parents are late to make birth certificates for kids born from October onwards so they can make their childs dob as 1st of January, I can't remember why, so that list with those dob doesn't prove anything.

Whilst that is reasonable, it opens the door for age doping quite clearly. You are right though, it doesn't prove anything which is why they were not sanctioned for it. Niger have also been disqualified from a youth tournament in 2009 for fielding an older player.
