It has taken him to second in the log and to the semi-finals of the Europa, I can't say the same of master class Jose Mourinho.

Oh I just remembered, he has been sacked, so much for masterclass.
Didn't Mourinho win the Europa and finish 2nd with us? What's new?

Mourinho has done his time, focus on Ole and Manchester United...

It is still too early to tell but as a footballer he is not as good as Greenwood for instance. He is a good finisher and has excellent movement but not really good at the other aspects of the game, which means he can only play striker for the senior team and won't get any minutes at other positions. For instance, Greenwood would have been a perennial bench player in this present squad if he was not competent at RWF. Being able to play multiple positions is a good quality for a young player in a big team.

Additionally, he is so close in age to Greenwood that by the time he starts knocking on the door for the senior team Greenwood would likely be about to enter his peak years. Greenwood is the more complete player by far and if he moves to CF as most of us expect McNeill won't make it here. McNeill has better movement than Greenwood though.

Well, you're spot on but one thing he does well is score goals and if he continues, the coaches will definitely find a way to play him because he definitely guarantees goals...

Make dem continue dey hate on Mourinho, it's not like Ole don achieve the second position sef with Leicester still giving us a hot chase. They called it Yoruba League, but some of them dey mountain dey pray fervently for Ole to win the same Yoruba League. Irony of life grin

This argument is dead on arrival, If Pep was not a great coach why was Pep, Ferguson first choice.
Mourinho and Pep are the two highest spender on players for the past 10 years.

Because Mourinho was tied in a contract with Real Madrid. Pep had just ran away from La Liga after Mourinho psychologically destroyed him with 100 points and 121 league goals.

In the two seasons Pep & Mourinho were together in La Liga, Mourinho’s team outscored Pep’s. The second season was the last straw for Pep and he gave up competing - which was why he was the #1 option as he had no job in the horizon.

Like Fowler, Owen, Gerrard, Sterling?

My point is you can't just translate goals scored at Under-18 level to senior level. Many other factors are involved including actual footballing ability.

It is still too early to give a good assessment of McNeill as a footballer. As a striker though he is right on schedule.

�️ Marcelo Bielsa [on #mufc's style of play]: "The more simple the football is, the better it is. This principle is supported when the players do what they should do and what they are best doing. In this sense, #mufc is an example of this."

�️ Marcelo Bielsa: "They do what they know best how to do and this has permitted them to create a style. That the game is simple to decipher, this is a praise. Because to be able to play simple is very difficult and when we achieve it, it is very satisfying." [MEN] https://twitter.com/UtdDistrict/status/1385535787266052097?s=19
To all the people who said Ole’s Manchester United doesn’t have a style of play or that they can’t see the style Ole has incorporated into the team, Bielsa said I should tell you people that your names should be Bartimaeus. Infact, he says it is simple to decipher grin

Has not lost a Carling Cup final against Liverpool (5th in the league), Arsenal Under 21s, Tottenham and Southampton. Lost an FA Cup final to Conte most recent of all. I don't need reasons as to why he was fired, the Tottenham execs gave the only one that matters. That Tottenham could have beat City in the final is still binding even with Ryan Mason at the helms. Mourinho might have a better resumé but that is about where it stops. If you were wondering, Tottenham were definitely catching a gigantic L in that final with Mourinho. The Slavia Prague, United and Everton games were predictive of where the team was with him and the answer is DISTRUSTED. That is, majority of his players did not trust him anymore.

The “5th in the league” Liverpool won the Champions league that same season by beating Mourinho’s Chelsea in the semifinal.

You people often forget that many managers rest players for the priority competition at the expense of the league position. Benitez concentrated his effort on the CL and played fringe players in the league. His final league position proved to be irrelevant as Liverpool qualified automatically for the next CL by the virtue of winning it.

Mourinho used the same strategy in 16/17 when he gave up on the league games and concentrated fully on Europa games. He took a very weak 11 to Tottenham and Arsenal to preserve the big players for Europa. He won it and United finished 6th.

Apart from Fish and Mengi, we don’t have any other huge talent in defence. Our midfield and attack on the other hand are very promising.
