Mourinho speaking hugely of Bailly as a CB and was a key transfer target.

 

[LFCMarshall]

I think Pogba would be the last. so 4-2-3-1

DDG

Darmain Bailly Smalling Shaw

Schneiderlin Pogba

Mkhitaryan Mata Martial

Zlatan

Strong line-up, but I would be surprised if there was no Rooney. Also the whole Mourinho-Mata thing?

If Matuidi is this 4th signing Mourinho was alluding to I am truly shocked.

Wouldn't be bad but I would've preferred other options.

Possibly but I doubt it.

I don't rate him, technically lacking and another creativeless box to box mid we don't need.

By the way Mourinho didn't say we would only make 4 signings. So let's chill a bit and see what happens. Matudi could be coming in to replace Fellaini for all we know.

****!!! But Fellaini has tons of PL experience.

Expect Mkytarian to be unvieled tomorrow after Mourinho press antics. And the fact they can't stop talking about him on the Mourinho MUTV special show

"I think I know who the 4th player is but I'm not going to say, just that's it's someone who's been here before... actually I don't know, I'm only guessing"

Oh Paddy

Mourinho just said he's calling up Tuanzebe and Tyrell Warren.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Also said he has spoke with **** and Joyce about players ready to step up to the first team.

 

[brunoh]

He said he doesn't like multifunctional players. That means bad news for Blind, who will probably get a lot less of action this season.

I'm I the only one concerned by mourinho's demeanor when he took pictures with the scarf?

It's like...he doesn't want to be here or something. Gives me the feeling of an old girlfriend forcing herself to do stuff just to make me happy.

I've never had that problem
I think the guy just wants to get down to business now and do his job.

Tbh I'm sure most mangers hate that ****. He was very good in his exclusive Utd interview and confirmed he just wants to get on the training pitch and for the season to start. Says he's had fun planning at his desk etc but can't wait till Thursday when he meets the lads and actually starts training.

What he said about Rooney, i don't think we will be playing 4-3-3. It will be 4-2-3-1, with Rooney being the number 10.

He also said you do need one or two of those multifunctional players to step in and do a job when needed. He specifically gave an example of having 3 central defenders injured/suspended, so you may need a left back or a midfielder to step in. Using the positions left back and midfielder could mean hes specifically talking about blind.

Nah, he had that same dour look about him when we unveiled him back in 2013. As ToD said he's probably just tired with all the bulls**t (as most managers are).

Yes, i think that too. But that also means that a multifunctional player will starve for action in his team because, as long as there are specialists, the multifunctional one will be last option.
