Three of our alleged targets would suit this system. But can't see Jose using this as his default formation. Maybe, for a few tough games, we'll see something like this.Bailly Dier Rojo
Valencia Herrera Pogba Perisic
Mkhi Griezmann Martial
He's actually a very good winger; Martial's lack of interest in beating a man on the outside has clearly provoked Jose to address the genuine lack of width in the squad.
It's not just about the direct goals/assists input, but also how he'd stretch the defence by pulling right backs to the touch line, creating space for Griezmann/others to exploit.
Beyond Griezmann, I can't see this summer's signings exciting the fanboys, but they will all be very specific additions to provide currently lacking qualities that'll facilitate the winning of the Premier League, something Mourinho knows a lot about.

Only problem is, as good as Valencia has been, he doesn't actually create enough. He stretches play. As a winger he's not going to contribute enough.
As per MEN- Perisic is not close to signing.
See people moaning that we missed out on a top player when he signs for Chelsea or PSG.
There's simply no way Manchester United would allow City to buy Bernardo Silva only to go after this guy. Given they turned down the chance to sign Silva, they obviously have much grander plans than signing Ivan fecking Perisic.
Inter need to sell for a lot of money for FFP
Mourinho needs to put United's wallet where his mouth is and help them out

It would be hilarious if he went someone else and would have a blast.
I would like to see the comments of those who are against it now.
Something that worries me is people quoting stats that say he averages one dribble per game. Yet some are saying he's a good, pacey winger that likes to take people on. I'd been warming to the idea slightly (mainly from cramming in YouTube compilations to see what he can do) until I saw that stat
Fwiw he does look good at taking on defenders and getting crosses into the box. Which would also lead me to assume that Belotti or Lukaku are on the list because Rashford is horrendous in the air.
Sanchez will cost the same as he's got a year left on his contract and is the same age, the bonus is Sanchez is also the second best attacker in the league after Hazard based on the season that's just been.
Excellent? I suppose you're one of those guys who prefers Mrs. Doubtfire over Margot Robbie.
Chelsea interested in him too. Would probably play wing back and winger.
I think if it was for 35 million euros like we have bid, most would consider it a solid, squad enforcement. For 50 million everyone knows we can get better and that is why most fans are in meltdown over him. If inter do business at 35 million then i think most fans will call it a good deal.Its the price being absurd that causes madness.
If we're signing those two then Ed can go.
In all honesty, that is the quality we should be aiming for, nothing to do with wanting 'Galactico' signings it's just the hard truth. We need proven top quality attackers this summer, there is no doubt about it. Perisic would just be a solid squad player addition, we don't need anymore of those. If we are looking to sign a winger close to his 30's from the Serie a it should be Mertens not Perisic.
Loves a Cruyff turn, doesn't he?
Give him his dues, he has that down to a tee.
Exactly. Reminds of the Ashley Young signings Ferguson made toward the end of his tenure. Solid player but truly stopped us from bringing in world class talent. We need to be buying the best in the world if we want to win the Champions League next season.
Why do people care so much about the price for ffs!
The club makes absurd amounts of money and Jose can spend what he likes.
They're both hardworking wingers. The comparison makes sense. My larger point, you probably missed, was that Silva cost just 43m and is only being paid 120,000 a week. Perisic would cost more. Makes ZERO financial sense to turn down Silva and buy Perisic.
Yep for sure
Just watch the most uninspiring highlight wheel
Been reading some of the replies from Inter fan forums and while some of em are ready to bite our hands off for the quoted price while some other genuinely feels that he could be a work horse and a typical Mourinho signing.
Heh. Perisic has the same problem, more or less. Only not as bad as Nani
If Nani was a 10-5-10-5 type of performer, Perisic is more like a steady 6-7-6-7
But club does not make infinite amount of money. Spending 50 million on an a squad player is stupid. The club has a budget for players and no one would want extra money being wasted on just above average players. Its not simple as let jose spend what he wants. There are budgets, squad limits, and for 50 million we could have a much better player. Money as a resource is a constraint,we need to use it efficiently not foolishly. We may have more than some but its not unlimited.
Exactly. Is he significantly or even marginally an improvement to what we have?
I would argue he's a step backwards in regards to potential and age
He's not exactly James Rodriguez in fairness.
Does he like to take players on? The stats have him at 1 dribble per game, which seems rather low for a fast winger.
I fear it's going to be another Bernardo Silva story. Much ado about nothing.
Had a falling out with Klopp at Dortmund, they wouldn't touch him.
From reading the Perisic thread on an Inter forum last night the common consensus seems to be that if they get 50m they should sell right away but anything less than 40m would be a good deal for Utd. A lot of posters think he would do really well here.
"My what a big gap you have just for one sentence "
"All the better to WUM you with my dear"
Yes, but he doesn't take players on for fun, so he doesn't attempt that many dribbles. And he's a devastating dribbler in space. Big, strong, fast and powerful.
He's also a good crosser with both feet, especially in dynamic situations
Which in this case would be a good thing.
Inter are going to replace him with a much superior player, Di Maria is their dream signing with James being a back up option. We'd be idiots to give them 50 million for Perisic, they are going to use that money to sign a better player in Di Maria/James.
People honestly think getting Sanchez is only a matter of us putting in a bid on him?
Don't get me wrong, I'd be over the moon if we somehow got him. I just think Arsenal will do everything in their power to sell him overseas.

How exactly did we 'turn down' Silva?
And they're nothing alike. Nothing.
As for prices you're right but Silva and Perišić deals don't have anything in common and are not related by any means.
We do have to get away from this 'every player we sign has to be a galactico' attitude. Seen it when linked with Dier, Lukaku and even Rodriguez(who was a galactico not long ago). Now Perisic is seen as a bog standard player, which he clearly isn't.
All these players would walk into our current XI.

Most people don't want him at all.
