A step in the right direction was certainly taken when Manchester United sacked Louis van Gaal and appointed Jose Mourinho.
Employing a world class manager, however, is not the end of the matter. Players need to be brought in and other players need to be shipped out.
At the time of writing, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eric Bailly have been confirmed and Henrikh Mhkitaryan, whilst not yet confirmed, has also joined. Rumours are rife about other potential arrivals.
As I have stated in a previous post, Ibrahimovic appears to have been signed to generate income more than anything else. His age, failure to score any goals in the Euros and being given a one year contract all point to this as the reason for his being there. Hopefully, as he has probably been promised a starting berth next season, he will chip in with a few goals. (more…)
WHY SAY ANYTHING?
