Such is your Myopia about Jose you will probably have a go with him about not picking Rashers tomorrow 

I'm afraid it's you who can't see the blatantly obvious my friend.

The problem for Mourinho is they don't have the squad to deal with fixtures in the Champions League midweek and Premier League on the weekend!

I sometimes despair when I read rubbish like this.

Sarcasm at it's worst seanie.

Dont create anywhere near enough chances, add that to a striker like lukaku who isnt really up to the task. Not clinical enough, not in the same class as a van nistlerooy van persie or even andy cole. Sanchez has been poor and not worth the starting place at the moment. Wolves deserved their pt if not more . How many games does de gea need to make top notch saves to get utd a result. Every single game.

RVN got at least a dozen opportunities laid on for him every game with Giigs and Beckham firing them in from wide.  Lukaku gets 3-4 a game a game mostly from deep.   No comparison.

Lukaku = The Belgian Cascarino
A very average player.

Not biting but that is rubbish 226 PL appearances 105 goals.

I would say the next month will tell a lot as to how the season will end up and what will happen with the manager long term.
No progress in Champions League and another couple of poor defeats in the league will see the exit door looming large for JM.

As the club are run by business men instead of football men i can't see JM sacked until United mathematically they can't reach the top 4. In current form probably looking at March for that to happen.

The next manager then has a big clear out on his hands. A squad full of poor signings many of which left over from Moyes and LVG time. When you have Fellaini as a regular starter and is given a role to protect the nervous lindelof you really know how deep rooted the problems are for United at the moment.

Mourinho has bought:
Pogba,Lukaku, Matic, Fred, Mkhitaryan, Sanchez,Lindeloff, Bailley and Dalot,
so he cant really complain that its not his team.
If the players aren't good enough, he has to take the blame.

I think Pogba,Sanchez was Ed Woodward signings to sell jerseys.

Do the ammount of jesries sold make any difference to these big clubs?
I thought they just have a deal with Nike or  and get a payment for that?

So does Ed make Mourinho play them too??
The whole selling jerseys stuff is a load of b*llocks anyways. Adidas pay a huge fee, around £70m to manufacture United's kit.
That figure doesn't change if a few thousand Chileans decide to buy a kit and get Sanchez on the back of it.

Deals for most clubs is straight cash and not dependant on number of jerseys sold.
Clearly the more jerseys sold means better deal you can get next time its up for renewal.
And of course any jerseys sold in club shops gives some extra profits directly to the clubs.

The Sanchez transfer was probably Woodward showing City who were the big dogs in the transfer market.
He hasn't fitted in hugely well, so you'd wonder who wanted him the most.
The jersey thing is probably not that relevant. If kids didn't have Sanchez, they'd just pick another player instead to go on the back of their jersey.

I doubt if anyone at Cascarino's level would get anywhere near the current Belgium team!

You make out that Ruud scored a lot with his head with Giggs Beckham supplying. He wasn't brilliant in the air. Ruud was the best finisher I've seen at United. Maybe didn't contribute much to Workrate, tackling etc, but he was absolutely lethal at putting the ball in the net.
