Not necessarily. He could replace Fernandinho in their starting XI and play quite a lot. He's also the perfect midfielder for Sarri at Chelsea. He could replace Fabregas. If he really cares about his minutes, that's probably where he should go. Not that I want to see that happening.
According to Paris United.
I defend Mourinho with most stuff but I went into the summer thinking we'd be ruthless... And we're the exact opposite.
I think we're going to end up well short again. The only saving grace will be if he gives youth plenty of chance. I hope to god Dalot shines and Luke Shaw finally pulls his finger out, because it's going to frustrate me if our full backs struggle again, particularly in an attacking sense.

we haven’t a clue from top to bottom.
It’s a disgrace. Things like this really make me question the direction of the club. In a year Maguire hasn’t transformed into a much better player, he was at a similar level last summer, yet we are going to pay about £50m more.
He definitely wouldn't replace Fernandinho. He's more suited to De Bruyne/Silva's role than Fernandinho.
Chelsea, if they don't go in for Golovin would be a decent option for him, as you said.
"disgrace", "farce", you guys really need to chill out.
This is all just rumours guys...
Fair point. If the club are even thinking about it though I’d be concerned.
I think people have every reason to be slightly concerned at this moment in time.
I don't get why they want to sell Pjanic.. This is the kind of deal that Utd should be all over.
Looking forward to the season? Wow.
He's played quite a few times in Casemiro's role, when the Brazilian was rested. He did very well there, especially in 2016/17.
Cash in while he still is valuable due to his age. Juventus could be the most logical destination for Kovacic and he could replace Pjanic.
How is that Mourinhos fault? He doesnt do the transfers
Why do people believe this stuff? Seriously, I want to know why people take this stuff as fact?
Eh? Not really. We are not state funded and have to manage our wage bill. It's ridiculous to think this is football manager. I am glad my club is run properly.
2.5 weeks before start of the season and this is the first proper United tweet transfer to come since a while. I think it's official time to panic. Things aren't looking good at all tbh.
I'm trying to be optimistic, and if you have read my other posts, particularly in the next season chances thread you'll see I have done and I can see plenty of positives with the squad.
My issue is that I just can't see Jose getting on with the job at hand with the squad that HE assembled. He's had two years now and the LVG players excuse has no validity. Especially since he played Smalling and Jones regularly in defence and decided to give Rojo a new contract.
As it stands, we're not looking likely to bring anyone in and if we do, it's going to be a mad scramble and will just be an act of desperation like 2014 was when we had our bad start under LVG.
It's the caf way. If it's negative the world is ending and it's all *insert that seasons United scapegoat*'s problem. If it's positive, journalists are useless hacks anyway. Rinse, repeat.
You forgot embarrassing and laughing stock.
How do you know he's not being backed? Not sure as to the logic behind this.
And Shaw and Dalot...
The article says we won't pay the money for Sandro, not that we aren't looking at full backs by the way.
Guys we got a game in 30 mins, forget about the window for a bit.
I'm a Jose backer and I believe Martial should be allowed to leave if he wants out. As long as we get a proper winger - I'd be happy with that.
If Martial tears it up at the other club (which I doubt he would - every player who has left us, has faded away) It would be very difficult to explain away.
The signings we've made so far don't seem like the board are fully backing him, Dalot and Fred are not enough for a title challenge. Things may change of course but at present it doesn't look like a good showing.
I get the feeling the press is making it up as they go along.
All this Jose isn't being backed guff is daft. We don't know who we've gone for behind the scenes and simply failed to get based on factors that aren't purely to do with money.
I can only assume that Jose sees full backs as a low priority position where money can be saved - just stick anyone there, even if they’re not actual fullbacks. Which seems outdated thinking to me.
It’s possible that we are just motivated by money and want a team to finish top 4. Our busiest Summer’s have been when we are out of the top 4. For once we finished in the top 4 comfortably so they’re happy with that.
Certainly not happy with the fact we’ve had such a quiet Summer when we finished second only to Man City last season so if we properly strengthen who knows where we could go? Every Summer is crucial but this one in particular is.
Ummm... ya think? Same thing every year.
Ah right, it’s my first transfer window.
They haven't got a clue! we will sign someone out of the blue tomorrow and they will try to convince people they knew all along . Man easy money to talk shite
Mourinho has absolutely nothing to do with it. The power and process is with the board. He does not do the negotiations even if he wanted to. It’s the same at all other clubs at this level.
I agree with the other points you make.
Ivanovic was getting skinned for a long period of time and we had Azpilicueta playing LB and Filipe Luis on the bench! That’s exactly what Mourinho thinks of the position. There’s a longish history of him playing people out of position there.
Touche’. Sorry, frustrating thread.
The seem obbe less and less informed on our signings or negotiations at least. All our signings have been on the down low it seems at least more than usual.
