That's the only position I could see him played in under Mourinho and as you said, wouldn't surprise me if CBJ was sent on loan and blind kept in the squad. If we don't though, Blind would struggle to get game time. Mourinho will buy a minimum of 1 CB, maybe even 2.

Just watched the season review of the EPL 2015/2016 season and Jose was the coach of Chelsea and Rogers was the coach of Livers....how things have changed.
I never would have foreseen the implosion of Chelsea and the hiring of Jose at this juncture but Chelsea's loss is our gain.
I havent been this excited in a long time to see United and how Jose shapes the side

Oh his days at CB are over i agree and rightly so.
Only a loon like Van Gaal would play a 5'10'' midfielder at centre back for an entire season in probably the most physical league in Europe simply because he's left footed.
Keep trying 
Most of us know its bull---- anyway, if a team doesnt have a youth academy who is there to promote.
If enough people repeat something it becomes "fact" just like many people believe urban myths, He'll do fine with the youth academy.
What does youngest ever mean? And what does that have to do with the core argument?
Or actually, nvm
What?Keep trying
Probably the average age of the first team or whole squad.
I like the way there is more silence about our dealings so far this time compared to last two summers.There's the press making their wild guesses, as usual, but nothing concrete at all. No journos telling us Woodward is in talks with somebody's agent, or that we've made a bid of so and so for said player.
Are we going for a DoF? Is Zlatan coming? Are we signing a CB? Is Mata really being shown the door already? Who's our new right winger? All speculation, no one really knows.
Typical Mourinho way of doing things. I like it.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into proceedings.

To be fair, Woodward went about things quietly last season too. Schneiderlin, BFS, Darmian and even Martial's transfer news all came out only once talks reached advance stages.
what's happening here? who is the chap in the blue shirt
Guy Ritchie.
Any river or source I can report for the Mourinho Mutv interview in full?
Why is he chillin with Guy Richie? None of this makes any sense.
I wonder why we told him to make an instagram account. I like it though
Flicking through his photos on Instagram puts a smile on my face knowing he is our manager.
Cannot wait till the new season begins!

Already bored of these instagram updates.
I rarely use Instagram but will add him for sure.
Is Mata responsible for his Instagram account? So far the updates have been as dull as Mata 's blog.
Its just an elaborate branding exercise. Not an issue for me to be fair. His team can do whatever the feck he wants that helps him grow. I'd wait out for the actual action.
I'm 99% confident he doesn't run that account.
Probably because we're going into next season "lock, stock and two smoking barrels"......ok I'll get me coat.
Maybe the players are all going to speak with fake cockney dialects.
so you're saying there's a chance
Can't wait for the first ever in game Instagram post by a manager.
Every comment on his instagram seems to be a variant of "don't sell Blind" or "keep Mata".
feck me no! The thought of Woody getting high on gas while crawling towards Mendes on his hands and knees saying "Mommy loves you" has given me the bloody fear.
What do you want him to post? Sniffing cocaine off strippers' vaginas? It's the off-season, and he's a high profiled individual. He can't be making news on Instagram. Anything he posts with remotely any new information will turn into a story the whole press will spend an entire news cycle disecting.
Honestly that would be a fantastic place to start.
Would love if it was true for the simple fact is it shows he means business and wants no distractions. However, it's a charity event that will take a few hours IN Old Trafford? He couldn't be closer to United.
Sounds a bit selfish but I kind of hope that's true.
I want his first game in the home dugout to be an occasion, not slightly tarnished by the fact he'll have had it as "England" boss in a charity game.
My guess is that he doesn't want to walk out at Old Trafford for the first time as United manager until it's leading our team.
