Paper Round: United need 'two more years' to become top European contenders, says Jose Mourinho
Mourinho needs 'two years' for European success
Manchester United
boss Jose Mourinho makes Thursday’s back pages after claiming he needs
another two years before his club can really be contenders in Europe,
again. Mourinho is quoted by the Daily Star as having said that despite
being a “giant” club, United cannot depend on it’s reputation alone to
compete for major titles.
He said: “We have a giant on our chest which is really heavy,
but we don’t compare to the biggest clubs in Europe right now.
“Because Manchester United is a real giant, it doesn’t matter if
the club is somewhat far away from that level for three, four, five or
10 years…But our job is to try to bring the football team back to that
stature.”
Our view: Mourinho might
be right. United at this point can not be compared to the likes of real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus. United are still know and recognized by their past deeds and history but the reality is that United need to step up and that may take some time.
Whodunit? Paper promises explosive top-six revelations
The big story of Thursday’s papers is an “explosive” interview
of a Premier League “top-six star” by The Sun, the identity of who was
not known at the time of writing. The only clues provided on Wednesday
night was the silhouette of the mystery man and some choice quotes from
the piece revealing that the player would be prepared to leave the club,
feels the club needs to buy more “world-class players” and, perhaps
unsurprisingly, he’d like to win some trophies.
Mourinho made moves for Willian
Chelsea
winger Willian has revealed he came close to leaving West London in
favour of a reunion with former coach, Jose Mourinho at Manchester
United. The 29-year-old claimed there were “quite a few” conversations
between Mourinho – who he says “likes me a lot” - and his agent, but no
deal was reached thanks to Chelsea’s refusal to negotiate.
Our view: With the difficulty and the amount of money United spent to bring Matic to United even at a time when he was not guaranteed first team football in Chelsea and the subsequent arrival of Bakayoko putting this place in the team at risk, you would tell that Chelsea will not even have entertained a move with a more first team regular like William.
