The world's most expensive player will not get the opportunities he had at Juventus to impress in Jose's current restrictive strategy

From minute one it was clear that Manchester United were never going to be able to compete with Manchester City in a football sense in Saturday’s derby defeat. Pep Guardiola’s team are far closer to the version he’d like than is true for Jose Mourinho and United.

All Mourinho could do was return to the methods which drew ire and blood during those infamous Clasico battles of yore. He asked his men to be more aggressive after dropping two goals behind.

No United fan is asking him to justify the amount. Everyone knows we overpaid and that's the business of the club director and others involved. He only needs to contribute to the success of the team. Finish.

exactly, but we had to, we could not qualify for champions league, so we have to over pay, the team has not gelled well, but we still have more than 30 or so matches to play, so I am not worried. I trust mourinho, he started out at Madrid badly, Madrid was beaten 5 zero at saint bernabeu, but won the league at the end.
