Man, yall jumped all over that statement . I didn't say anything about him changing his philosophy, or style of play. Of course we know who he is and what we'd be getting.

What I meant to say, but didn't flesh out earlier, was that it wouldn't be unreasonable for the club to set out its priorities for youth development and ask Mourinho to put more effort into that side of things than he has in the past. If he's not up for it, then maybe it wouldn't work out. Also, could put a no eye-gouging clause into his contract if you're worried about his demeanor.

In the end, both sides may have to give up some ground for it to work. i was only insinuating earlier that it didn't have to be a case of United throwing away all its priorities to get Mourinho for a short-term fix. Could ask a few questions the other way as well

My bad. I was just talking. I tend to get real wordy. Sorry.

Regardless, I don't think United would look to Mourinho if they weren't willing to sacrifice youth. Real Madrid have one of the best youth academies in the world but they straight up don't care about playing those players. If they go for Mourinho, it will be a short-term fix because that is who he is. Maybe he wants to shed that label. I don't know. It seems that targeting Simeone or Pochettino would be a better investment. Simeone in particular would emphasize youth, but his teams are absolutely brutal.
