Why would he need to conform to different standards? And what standards are those? The only offensive philosophy he's going to espouse is counter-attacking at pace. He's never deviated. If he didn't deviate from this philosophy at Real Madrid, why wouldn't he suddenly decide that he should with Man U?

It's fairly clear that the much touted "United way" was more "Fergie's way." At one point in time, "Arsenal's way" was to defend deep and win 1-0. Then Wenger came and it was completely different. Styles change with different managers regardless of the club, no matter how big or small.

I'm pretty sure Man U will accept winning at all costs, as their recent transactions and moves suggest. If they go with Mourinho, they know what they are getting.

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

That's false and you should know better.

It's been the United way since the 50's
