Please no.. 'Failed' at Dortmund and Wolfsburg so clearly not good enough for United + is supposed to be a difficult character.

He's 28.
I don't like signing players who you're only going to get 3 seasons or so out of while they're still at their best. In a couple of seasons we'd just need to replace him again
I'd like United to focus on players 25 or younger personally

Always impressed me when watching Croatia. Good industrial player who can score goals.
I like him but he's not the one to take us up one level.

I don't understand this. 28 is old? Nowadays players can play at their best longerthan 31. Going by your logic Mickhi is old too.
He didn't fail at Dortmund. He didn't play regularly and wanted out although Klopp wanted to keep him.
He is a good player but inconsistent. Although playing for United and Jose he can raise his fiorm and consistency.
He's Croatia's best player right now but United could do better tbh. Saying all that I wouldn't be at least surprised that Jose is here for some other player and the media knows fu.K all as usual.
@Ban
He didn't fit into Klopp's defensive concept, was too weak against the ball, so Klopp often played (the less talented) Großkreutz instead of him. In his second season Perisic complained publicly about deserving more play time, iirc Klopp scolded him publicly and that was basically it for him at Dortmund, he was sold during the next window.

He failed. He just wasn't good enough to meet Klopps tactical demands, he whined about not getting enough playing time because of this and got sold.
There's a reason why he didn't play regularly and even was outperformed by Großkreutz!
Don't see him anywhere near United level and he is by far not the best Croatian player (Modric!!). He's decent - no complains about that - no more and no less.
Its international break week. The papers are full of silly rumours.
Modrić is our best player on paper but he hasn't showed it on the pitch so often. Perišić has definitely outperformed him in last couple of years. (!!)
@do.ob, @fcbforever - he should have listened to Klopp AMD buckle up. He didn't fail in the sense of Klopp wanting to get rid of him. He wanted to give him a chance but Perišić chosed to go.
Agreed - only needs one mid term injury and the value in the move has gone completely. Over 27 = No more than 20m (unless we are talking a 29 year old Arjen Robben etc)
As for people being better for longer these days, thats rubbish. Its an athlete's game, a footballers peak,imo, is around 26 nowadays.
He started 2 out of 9 matches after his comment, one of which was the glorified friendly against City, where half the team was rested and the other was vs relegation fodder.
He's a talented lad, but from what I've seen of him in Germany lacks both the mental attributes and consistency for a top club.
Christ. Let's hope José is just in Zagreb for a holiday.
Can't see why a good manager like Jose would be interested to be honest. He costs way less than £80m+. 
You tried. I'll give you that.Can't see why a good manager like Jose would be interested to be honest. He costs way less than £80m+.
So he's in Sheraton. Hmm.
Jose might see him as a player who can contribute in certain tough away games when we play our biggest rivals so that we can be harder to beat while relying on world class goal scoring talent up front to nick a goal and win the game. He may not be in the first XI when we are home to Brighton, Watford next season but perhaps he has him penciled in for certain games where his hard working defensive abilities might be ideal to have out wide while being able to contribute in attack also.
Should have done more in his career considering he is literally two footed. Not a world beater but better then anyone United have playing LW at the moment.
I dont rate him.
Perisic would be a Nolito type signing. Good backup and for certain situations could be useful. Doubt Mourinho would make the journey for him. Smells like a smokescreen to me.
A white Willian.....
Perisic is a very good player, i would say , he is mourinho winger type. And he would be good transfer for us. But for rotation. He is not top top class what we need for first 11 on the right wing.
But i don't think that he came for him. Perisic is not playing today . And why jose would go personally to talk with him? It is nonsense.
My bet is that he came to watch brozovic. He is the type of a midfielder that we need. And jose likes.

DO NOT WANT!
Think he's better then a Nolito type signing. Perisic is two footed, technically very good, stood out for Croatia at the Euro's and been one of Inter's best players this season along with Icardi and Handanovic.
According to Reddit, that Mijatovic is Perisic's agent. Wouldn't make sense to go watch him when he's injured. Some reports saying that he could be in for Brozovic too.
Has he done anything of note at Juve ?
Tbf to him, he's mostly found consistency at inter. Still not good enough to be a starter for a team that aims to win the CL
Scored one goal against Porto. That's it
Why are people talking about him like he's a hard worker? The Dortmund fan just said his lack of work defensively is why Klopp had problems with him there, and if he's not hard working enough for Klopp he wont be for Jose. He's just a bang average journeyman footballer that will do nothing but add an overpriced, overpaid dollop of mediocrity to our squad.
Kovačić would be a good signing for us. Very good b2b, great option to have alongside Herrera.
If we can get both him and Fabinho, we're set in the MF.
Hopefully not, Brozovic is another nothing player, does Mijatovic not represent anyone good?
We need at least 1 winger. Currently only Lingard is a winger in our squad. Martial and Rashfords are strikers, Mata and Mkhitaryan are central attacking midfielders. Valencia and Young cant really be counted as wingers at this point. So we need at least more 1 winger, even 2 if we are willing move Martial to striker position.
That said, I am not too sure about this guy. He wasn't anything special in Dortmund and then just disappeared. If we are willing to splash some cash on a winger thats nearing his 30s, Sanchez is the best option out there. I don't see any reason to buy this guy over Sanchez who is a top class player, already proven in PL and will weaken a top 4 rival in join us.

@Sir Roi de Muppeterre you're mentioning martial as not a winger, claim you need a winger, and you want alexis who is not a winger? Doesn't make much sense does it? 
Btw, i don't understand why people are mentioning dortmund in relation to perisic? He left them in 2013. He was 23 back then, he's 28 now. Players tend to be better at 28 than they were at 23

Sanchez played right winger for Barcelona and usually feature on left wing for Arsenal. This season he was used as striker more often than on left wing but he is very much a winger. Martial on the other hand played as center forward for Monaco, was signed to be our striker and given the number 9 shirt. He has said in several interviews that he is a striker first and foremost.
Unless you think players position should be classified based on the last 5 games or something, Martial is a striker who is playing on the flank because manager doesn't trust him enough and/or he isn't good enough yet to lead the line, and Sanchez is a winger who is playing as striker because he is better than the 2nd best strike option i.e. Giroud, at least in Arsenal system.
the other guy in fortmund side with a similar name would be better, we dont need another podolski level player
After looking at these pictures and putting together the facts I think he is after Modric. He is Croatian and who signed him for Real Madrid...? Thats right...Jose Mourinho. All the pieces of the jigsaw fit imo
I hope we're not signing this guy. We need players who are a cut above our current crop, not another "squad" player. We have too many players who are only "squad" players.
He played badly as a winger for barcelona because they used him as a winger. He's no more of a winger than Martial
Started as a winger for Monaco, then they realized he was better as a striker and used him there a lot. I agree that Martial is a striker. Alexis is also a second striker first and foremost
