Mourinho will probably get Zlatan on a free, and that's it for Rashford.
And Rashford leading the lines for the next 10 years is a fact. My apologies.
Mourinho to United is pretty much a done deal according to everyone, so I think it's way past speculation. The one about Zlatan, yeah, it's a bit far fetched, but he does have a very good relationship with Mou, so I wouldn't rule it out.
Not sure we watch the same player. His technique is good and it was even more obvious in youth teams.

Yeah, agree with this, but can't imagine City beating a team like Bayern, Barca or even PSG, unless they are on iddqd.

They may well sneak past PSG they have had their league won since October so could well take eye off the ball, but Bayern or Barcelona would be double digits if they played like yesterday
He got the taste of the first team, and proved he can take the challenge. IF, I repeat, IF Zlatan would somehow end up with you, he (Rashford) will warm the bench for sure, or end up being loaned somewhere. Just take a look at Chelsea's prospects: lots of promise, no chance to impress. You might say that United's philosophy is different, and I agree, but Mourinho's is also different. If the board pressures him to get back into the CL, youth don't stand a chance.
This text is based on minimal football knowledge and speculation, and it should be treated likewise.
I should make this my signature.
Getting the taste doesn't mean anything though. at that age you will dip in and out of the first team at a side like United. If anyone is currently under threat it's going to be Rooney.
There is a massive difference between Chelsea's youth and United's. That's not a managerial thing, they are treated like a commodity. They are never integrated into the side. With ours, even with new signings they are all a necessity.
Mourinho is no fool, United isn't Chelsea, you can't survive without trying to bring youth through. Even Moyes with all his folly knew that.

May be on my own here but I would question why the **** we would want a near 35 year old player if we signed him? Very short-term vision and in my opinion utterly pointless, it will cause more harm than good. Player like him strolls in with his ego and the ABSURD amount of money he will be on, straight into the starting line up. No thanks.
We need to have a bit more of a longevity with our signings and last thing I want is team spirit broken up, we've built some good foundations here and that will be ruined if you don't bring the right players in.

And he's claiming credit for Southampton beating L'pool too! Mans a genius!

I'll take him over Mourinho if he has plans to bring players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic in.... that would be disastrous.
Ferguson did it with Larsson. He was brilliant cover. Zlatan has hardly broken team spirit. And we haven't had too much to break anyway. Is there nothing that doesn't upset you?
Besides it's largely moot. Mourinho wants Kane by all accounts anyway.
Siging Zlatan would be ridiculous though. For what purpose? Helping us get one good season with him as an automatic starter negating the likes of Rashford, Rooney or whoever else he will be at the expense of.
There is no real sense to this signing whatsoever and for me it just shouts out "LOOK AT US WE CAN SIGN A BIG WORLD CLASS PLAYER FOR THE SAKE OF IT" move by Woodward.
Harry Kane, again not a striker I'm particularly sold on (especially for the fee we would pay) but I would definitely choose him over Zlatan, better mentality, would only expect to play if performing well and respects the club enough to not whinge if things are not going his way.
He wouldnt be an automatic starter, but like Larsson would be a brilliant one season finsher, as we have lots of youth, and buys another year to sort out what we do with Rooney. You've been moaning all season we are short a forward, so when we are linked with one, you get annoyed. He'd be on a free, he can finish from just about anywhere, bring people in from anywhere, and has a confidence and arrogance this team lacks and needs. You can't have it both ways, you either in increase competition and quality, or you dont. Make up your mind, because any forward coming is going to battle with Rashford/Rooney etc.
We don't need people being nice and cosy, we need an edge back.
You're not sold on Zlatan, or Kane, despite the fact he is a mobile hard working link forward who scores hatfuls, and is young. I suspect you're not going to be happy for a long time as a United fan, no matter what we do.
Who exactly do you want up front?

But he's free. Geez, never seen a guy get worked up on free stuff before.

He'd rather keep a manager he hates, because someone else might bring in someone he doesn't like.
