We have a very good squad mate. Can play all at the same time. He’ll get his chance to shineNo Lo Celso?

If only Pogba had been Portugese!Mourinho is still seen as an almost mythical figure in Portugal. Every player dreams about being coached by him.
I think Dier will be the first to benefit from Mourinhos appointment...Supposedly he only signed Matic as Spurs wouldn’t sell him Dier so he could well be a favourite son of Mourinho’s.
Is pogba the fucking diva clown the benchmark of professional players? Pros like lampard never had a bad word to say about Mourinho.If only Pogba had been Portugese!

Big, DM... and don't underestimate the 'Portugese' link...
It's partly why I think Jose liked/likes him so much...
He has all the attributes of an old fashioned English defender, but with the added bonus of a Portugese upbringing!
Yes agreed. I think a top class DM is holding us back from playing a real 4-3-3 with Ndombele and Lo Celso sitting just above the DM.
We have a very unbalanced squad. Most players are best playing a central role. Son is the only proven wide player.
Jose's first act will be tightening up the D.
Just hope he builds around Kane, Son, Ndombele, Lo Celso, and Sanchez.
smashed his assumption with an... assumption.....Lots of baseless assumptions....”Son will hate it”
Errr, maybe Son will love having Dele and Eriksen alongside him as AMs as opposed to behind him in central midfield.
Maybe Son will enjoy having the full backs playing forward passes, and the CBs defending corners.....maybe Son will enjoy not being the default sub off guy....and getting a game with Moura from time to time.....maybe Son will enjoy a trophy
Just a thought
he didnt like Salah either!If he didn't like De Bruyne then what hope have Ndombele and Lo Celso. I hope he genuinely gives them chances
has he ever coached CR?Him and ronaldo are on a tier above everything else as far sports persons go in Portugal. Mourinho is still seen as an almost mythical figure in Portugal. Every player dreams about being coached by him.
At Real I think, three seasons or so ?has he ever coached CR?
Sess ahead of Rose - surely?Hugo
A new right back Sanchez Alderweireld Rose
Dier Sissoko
Lucas Ndombele Son
Kane
this is what Jose will love
He did - 3 seasons in his peak at RMhas he ever coached CR?
Son was never one to shy away from defensive work when he was asked to do it, he just needs to be coached to do so. He's usually the first to sprint to press the opposition defense, but often does not help out tracking back with the fullbacks, which tells me that he's not being told to do so.I’m intrigued what he’ll make of Winks. A low risk player but not an especially incisive one either.
I feel like he’ll either build the midfield around him or ship him off.
Agree on Son. He’s going to hate the defensive requirements.
no one "likes" salah he's a twothe didnt like Salah either!
He used to play with Ander Herrera week in week out, I'm sure he'll be fine working with Winks.I think Winks' days are numbered now. Mourinho likes powerful athletes in midfield and Winks is the total opposite of a midfielder he typically likes.
Maybe so.....but that’s why I said.....”maybe”smashed his assumption with an... assumption.....
