Jose Mourinho for Man Utd?

Is Jose Mourinho the right man for United?
Mar 2, 2009 Thought of the Day

Jose Mourinho is not the right choice for a club like Utd. It is like water and oil.The Special One is too brash and has a gigantic ego. Though he is tactically sound, his brand of pragmatic, safety first football will not go down well with the Red Devils. It will be very difficult for him to embrace the Devils’ culture and brand which always emphasise attacking football. Through the years, Sir Alex has instilled that seige mentality in his players. At the same time, he has long term plans in grooming players for the next generation. Jose goes the opposite. In his couple of years at Chelsea, he paid for the successes. As a result, the same group of players grew old together without younger replacements. Jose laid seige at other people instead.One thing one has to admire him is that he is Sir Alex’s equal in mindgames.Man Utd will never find another Sir Alex. Rather, that person must embody all that Utd stands for and Jose is not that person.
