Judging by the kind of players that Manchester United seem to have after this summer, it appears as if Jose Mourinho has been told by the Red Devils’ board that he has to win the title next, one way or another. And it is because of those orders from the men up there that Jose is looking to sign tried, tested and experienced players rather than players who are young and there are question marks about their performances.
It might seem like an odd way to many United fans, but that is what happens when a manager like Jose Mourinho is brought in. A short-term approach is followed, with little regard to what the next manager would have to face. It is all about winning things that season and not about what will happen after that.
