There's a gap now between Man U and the best sides, which will be difficult to bridge. Mourinho needs all the help he can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Griezemann, one midfielder and one defender and they'll be right there. Well we'll see, but they won't be the only club spending big. What struck me last night was how poor a lot of their football was. They have some good individuals, but looked anything but a team. There were a lot of long balls, flat and over-hit, which went nowhere. Like his immediate predecessors, Mourinho is looking for the right blend and a coherent style, and that's not easy when the team is under pressure to succeed right away.

Griezmann won't join Man Utd because they have a better chance of winning the CL than Atleti. They're Man Utd and they're one of the richest clubs in the world. They'll spend their way back to competitiveness. Again I reiterate this summer their top signings left clubs who would expect to run deep in the CL. Europa League winners don't sign the best player from CL semi finalists unless other non football related factors are th major cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get them and still play like Pardew manages them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not having this "classic Mou" crap. His last 2 CL wins came somewhat against the odds. Beating more experienced, often more expensive and certainly better opposition en route. This - Man Utd the strongest team in the competition in all of the above areas - by a distance too.

Europa League winners don't sign the best player from CL semi finalists unless other non football related factors are th major cause. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Griezmann, because Chelsea are supposed to be interested in him now. I do think if they hadn't won last night, Griezmann would definitely be opting for Chelsea, and even now I don't think he'd have been much encouraged by watching Man U's performance. The alternative of overcoming a player's reluctance to join by throwing money at them doesn't always work out. There's always pressure on a big money signing, and if things go wrong the player's morale can easily suffer. Looking at Pogba, whilst he seemed to be keen to re-join Man U, he looks like a player under pressure. He tries to do something brilliant nearly every time he gets the ball - even on his own goal line, last night. Despite his talent, there's a lack of coherence in that midfield. That Man U side needs a lot of work, and the best players in the world can suffer if they're in a difficult environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
