It's an observation I've made through the years. Mourinho is a propaganda artist. I've heard of some fans turning on Martial who single handedly fired United into Europe. The man management of Martial has been poor. He blames referees, the FA and makes the fantasy paranoid of some vast conspiracy against him. He'll bench Castilla, Martial, Costa, Hazard to make sure he's the only leader of the dressing room. He'll then freeze out players comfortably better than those starting (De Bruyne, Filipe Luis, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku). He'll then convince supporters that the club. Is under attack and that he's the saviour. He hasn't done anything tactically relevant since 2012.
Superstars were signed in the summer and United were expected to win the league after spending £150 Million. United would have shocking displayed vs Chelsea (h), Liverpool (a), City (h), Watford (a) and many other fixtures. You're 6th place in December despite expectations of challenging/winning through league and Mourinho gets a free pass. I think there needs to be a reality check. Mourinho is no longer good enough and Pogba/Ibra didn't deliver until October. Arguably the best United player (Mhkitaryan) was left for entire months. Where are Shaw, Rashford and Martial? Plenty of arrogance at the start of the season.
"If, at the end of the season, somebody who is champion has been better than us, then great - that is football. In this moment as Manchester United football club, we cannot speak differently. We are going to fight for the title.
"Many more think the same way as us but they are afraid to say it. They prefer not to, and prefer to play a defensive game in words. They prefer to say, or to hide, or play with the words, defensively. That's not our way. I don't think that's Manchester United.
Be very careful United fans. Soon, you'll fall into the trap of defending his every move. He did that at Inter, Chelsea and Madrid. Not he's doing it with United. Mourinho isn't stupid, he knows exactly what he's doing. I'm going to make a prediction that he'll eventually be sacked. Under no circumstances should any young talent be sold, especially Martial. The gap in quality between Martial and Dembélé/Mbappe/Lemar is miniscule compared to the gap between Mourinho and better coaches .
He was a great coach in a prime cut cannot go near GOAT. He is trophy record is good but doesn't stack up to a Bob Paisley. He hasn't been an innovative coach at all either. It's hard to see what he's good at. He was good with the low block a decades ago but decent coaches have worked round with positional play.
