José Mourinho’s Manchester United have won the League Cup and are in a good position to qualify for the Champions League but it is very difficult to judge how good they are
They spent an aditional 27 million on Mkhitaryan, and another 12 million in wages and sign on fees for Ibrahimovic. United's entire squad is the most expensive in the history of world football, costing over 600 million in total. They are currently 5th in the table. I'll say that again: they are 5th! Mourinho currently has less points than David Moyes and Van Gaal after the same amount of games. This after spending over 130 million on 3 players. Sackable!
Mourinho's tenure at United would have already been viewed as a failure if he were at any other club or if he were any other manager, but I suppose being hard to beat and getting draws is good enough for United these days. They've fallen so hard they haven't woken up to the fact yet that they are a mediocre team. They are Stoke with money.
"spent 50m on pogba with chance it goes up to 90m"
there fixed your mistake as well United havnt paid 90m for pogba at all yet.
Also im guessing your one of those who never watches the games just sits refreshing score sites so knows fuck all about how things are actually going.
sure they have drawn way more then they should be but that is not down to Mourinho at all. all those draws the players should have put away 5+ chances to put the game way out of reach of the other team.
also United's aint the most expensive squad, Real Madrid and Barcelona's still is most expensive in what they pay their players and have paid teams or do you forgot like everyone else those 2 spend shitloads.
if you watched the games like a actual football fan you would see how vastly different the team is playing compared to Moyes & Van Gaal those 2 destroyed the confidence players had completely.
i guess making top 4 and winning europa league is their main concerns this season.
i think next season they will focus on actually trying to win the league.
this season has been disappointing for them but trying to undo the damage of moyes and van gaal comes at a price.
United spent £90m for Pogba, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan, can't deny that they were expecting fast results

The most damning thing I can say about United is they aren't fun to watch anymore.
