Jose Mourinho has only one experienced recruit this summer in Brazilian midfielder Fred. This is not what Mourinho wanted this summer but Woodward’s habit of last moment dime is said to be the reason for United not able to sign the Croatian forward Perisic. And also the loss of Alderweireld when the deal was agreed upon £20 million has also been said to rise because of Woodward’s decision to step back.
The way former accountant and investment banker has been working won’t get the team winning titles, if Mourinho doesn’t get what he wants.
We can feel the heat in Mourinho in his recent interviews about how frustrated he is of not getting what he has desired for. Though Woodward has agreed upon what Mourinho has asked for but has not been able to strike a deal. This year has been a long onslaught, with the Boss being clear that if he wants to win the title, he needs to meet his targets off-the field.
This summer has been different from the previous ones in which the duo did not miss any target; signing four in Mourinho’s first season and only missing Perisic the last season who escaped their grasp.
The optimistic hopes of the United fans still force them to trust the duo, into strengthening the squad and making it a tough contender of this seasons Premier League.
Now all the hopes last on Woodward’s ability to strike a deal.
