Was Jose Right? - Where His Man Utd Team is Now!

where

they play how they play if they play those were the words of José Mourinho after being eliminated from the Champions League against Manchester United a year after returning European success to the club the special has been recorded explaining how his time there was one of the most successful achievements of his career after finishing second, so I thought 7 years after that Europa League victory, let's take a look at what is to this day Manchester United's most successful

team

and see if José had reason. Severely outplaying a group of players destined to fail, well let me tell you

right

now, some have had a hell of a career, so let's find out

where

they play, how they play, if they play starting with the goalkeepers despite not starting in the final. of GE demonstrated throughout his many years at Manchester United that he was a great goalkeeper, a place as a legend apparently set in stone after his failed move to Madrid thanks to a lousy fax machine;

However, some might argue that his time at United was a failure. a couple of years older than he should have been, as he became plagued with mistakes and low confidence. The turning point was the only other Europa League final the club has reached since José's time and it came down to De Gea's penalty, which he also missed. to save a single penalty, this blamed him for the defeat and perhaps indirectly Ole lost his job. His time with the tenh was short as, although he was set for a new contract, he eventually broke down following another poor performance in the FA Cup final against their rivals.

Since then, Manchester City, despite rumors of interest from the likes of Newcastle, PSG, Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia, David de Gea remains without a football club and is a free agent at the age of just 33, but the goalkeeper who started in the Europa League final in 2017. Of course, it was none other than the best number two in the world, as fans would like to call him Sergio Rero. He turned down a move to Bucker Juniors in the January transfer window due to a fantastic Europa League season that year which ultimately saw him win the competition despite being the national

team

's number one at the time Romero continued to sit at United's bench before leaving the same way he entered in 2021 as a free agent, however during the 61 games he played for the club he kept a clean sheet in 56% of them, which is an incredibly respectable statistic.

After a year in Vanessa, he finally managed to return to Argentina. He joined Bucker Junior's, where he caused a massive brawl against Fierce Rivals River Plate, resulting in a total of six red cards. moving on to the goalkeepers now and moving on to the back four because Eric Baay was José's first signing at United and he was crazy, he ended up in the Europa League team of the season the year they won it and he himself looked like a Extremely promising player at center back. However, the following season he was injured for 100 days, which caused the problem that would haunt his entire career.

This left him feeling, in his own words, helpless; However, the club's recurring problems at centre-back caused him to stay longer than he probably would. He had hoped to sign multiple contract extensions, eventually leaving the club with Eric Tenh after a one-off move to Marseille that never became permanent, where his next club would be Bashas, ​​but that couldn't have ended worse after just a couple of months, his contract was terminated. sports performances and incompatibility with the team, so in December 2023 Eric B found himself back where he began his career. Villa Royale is now one of the players on this list who was not only underrated in my opinion, but went on to have a fairly respectable career and that of course is Dy blind, this versatile defensive midfielder found himself used more as a centre-back at United before Jose deployed him at left-back on Luke Shaw, we'll get to him in a minute.

He started in the Europa League final against his former club Ajax, but rejoined them the following year. Everything was going well for him, as Blind even recorded a hat-trick in an 8-nil win. Things soon went wrong, although Blind was diagnosed with the heart condition in December 2019 after suffering dizziness during a Champions League match against Valencia, he returned to action in February after having a defibrator fitted, regardless of His career at aax came to an end for the second time in 2022 as his contract was terminated, however the then 32-year-old Jona joined Bayern Munich for 6 months in 2023 before joining the surprising title of La Liga Challengers Jona, now another player who has had a respectable career is Mato Darian, the

right

back found himself on the left several times with José, including in the Europa League final he soon fell out of favor with him, however, Playing just eight games the following season, many fans agreed that he was probably not at the level required to start week in, week out for the club, so he found himself sent back to Italy with Palmer in 2019, a year after signing for the club, he was loaned to Inter Milan, who ended up buying him for just under 2 million, which turned out to be a total bargain, as he became an important part of the team he was looking for. to find themselves in the Champions League final before losing to eventual treble winners Manchester City after the semi-final against AC Milan.

Darian actually talked about his time at United and how he wouldn't be the player or person he is now without the time he had. I walked by and thanked them for everything, but we moved on. Timothy fosu Mena was a very promising young man during his time at Man United, he was touted to do incredible things, unfortunately for him however his career has been in constant limbo, an injury and loan spell left him short. 2019 and after an unimpressive period following his return, he joined a lusen, suffered another knee ligament injury in 2021 and would not play again until 320 days later;

However, the now 26-year-old has not yet reached the heights that many thought. He would, as he has yet to play a match for Lusen during their title challenge this season. Now it seems like a long time since Ser Alex Ferguson said that Phil Jones could become the best player the club has ever seen, I think. At this point it's probably safe to say that his career has never come close to anything like this. He was virtually part-time for his entire United career in 2023, although his 12-year United career eventually came to an end after many probably undeserved contract extensions.

He was spotted in a United Men's Under 18s game to gain some coaching experience and was ready to take the necessary steps to earn his badges with no other playing opportunities presenting themselves during the brief time he was fit under Jose, although he cemented a fairly solid partnership with Marcus Rocco, who was another who suffered an injury, it prevents him from playing consistently and, despite Ole telling Rocco that he had plans for him in his team, he was later loaned to the estudantes from his club Boyhood before being sold to Baka juniors in 2021, where he continues.

With his injury concerns now one of the few on this list to have had a successful United career is, ironically, probably the player Jose barely qualified for. Luke Shaw, it's no secret that the two disagreed with the coach. Stating that Shaw couldn't continue messing with my brain two years later, he even questioned Shaw's training approach and ambition. A move to Everton was on the cards in 2018 as Jose looked to sell the left-back, but the Englishman has now rejected that deal. He admitted in 2021 that their relationship wasn't the best, but one thing José did according to him was help him become mentally stronger.

Shaw admitted that he finally felt wanted in the team again once he became manager, which was reflected in his performances as he progressed. He undoubtedly had the best years of his career for both club and country following the transfer of Alex Tes, which somehow got Shaw going despite this, whilst working as a pundit, José continued to criticize the left back labeling Shaw as poor during the European Championships with England caused the player to come out publicly and tell José it was time to move on, however, the horrific leg fracture that almost saw him lose his leg in 2015 now It seems a long time after Shaw reinvented himself and became one of Manchester.

Unfortunately for United's most important players, injury problems have reappeared in his game, but there is no doubt that United are a much better team in both attack and defense when he is on the field today. Chris Smalling's United career was another that never lived up to the mark. expectations unlike the others, although he had the opportunity to prove himself elsewhere after a very successful move to Roma in 2019, he then reunited with José, where in 2022 the two won the first Conference League together by winning to Fard 1-0 in the final. Smalling was named man of the match, but after the Europa League success with José Antonio Valencia he was awarded a new contract, the club captain, who saw himself giving his all week after week, finally left the club as something of a cult hero among a large portion of the fan base then went on to play in the Ecuadorian and Mexican leagues before retiring in 2021, unlike many players who later ventured into perhaps management or pundits. .

Valencia has created its own football club called av25 Sports Club, another former winger turned winger turned captain of Manchester United is, of course, Ashley Young, who still plays football at the highest level with Everton in the Premier League. Young left United and joined Milan, where he became the third Englishman to win the Sera. He managed to return to the Premier League to join former club Aston Villa, where after just one year he was released before being re-signed and named captain of the club, that would be until 2023, where he was released for real this time seeing it. finish. at Everton, where the now 38-year-old is still playing fairly consistently, but as we move into midfield we start with one of the most decorated and underrated Premier League players in history, Michael Carrick, after the success of Europa League, however, he was crowned Club Captain.

In November of that year, he revealed that he had to undergo a procedure for an irregular heart rhythm following dizziness during games. The treatment was successful and Carrick spent the rest of the season before agreeing to join José in The Dugout as part of the coaching staff. He assisted Rashford's goal in his last game, they gave him a permanent break and even a guard of honor to thank him for the incredible success he had at United. He now stayed on after José was fired to continue as coach under Oiga Solar before eventually replacing him. in 2021 as first team coach for three games in which he achieved two fantastic victories over Villa Roale and Arsenal, as well as a draw against Chelsea after never losing a game, as Manchester United interim manager Middleb gave him gave Carrick the chance to show he had the best at full time.

For any manager in the club's history to implement a feeling of confidence that the club had not had for some time with his exciting brand of football, even leading them to the Caribbean semi-final for the first time since they won it in 2004, where they managed to beat Chelsea in the first leg before being defeated in the second. Carrick has shown that he has the ability to become a top-level coach. However, one of Manchester United's most iconic players of this era was, of course, Marowan Fellaini, while most. of fans wanted it sold out every summer. I have to admit it was quite useful to see the face of the terrible, boring football we were playing.

Yes, it was his fault. Not until today. I have never seen anyone with better chest control in history. From football, you could throw the ball at him at the speed of sound and he would just cushion it like it was nothing. He was sent to China in 2019, marking the end of a five and a half year career with the Red Devils before he finally retired 5 years later in 20124, however, one of the players most favored by fans during this time was Ander Herrera. The Spaniard solidified himself as a hero during his time at the club thanks to his desire to give his best at every moment.

He played on his passion showing that he knew more about what it really meant to be a United player than some of his other teammates; However, he left in 2019 as a free agent after the club failed to meet the demands he believed he deserved, so he became aflood. de Lágrimas Herrera joined PSG, to tell the truth, his career never started again after this, he was nothing more than a secondary player in the French capital who eventually had his contract cut a year early in order to reduce the wage bill between The team therefore re-joined Anesto Valverde at the club he originally left to join United Athletic BAU.

However, this hasn't stopped him from publicly expressing his love for the Red Devils, as he even showed his support for them on Instagram during Ten Hog's Reign Over. club, one of the biggest disappointments however has to be Jesse Lingard, he had the talent to be a future England star. He apparently defied expectations, overcame being just a talented footballer and became a total celebrity, whether it was the brand jings or his dance moves. Lingard's contagious vibes. Everyone was talking about him, Trophy-winning goals, Milly is great at the Emirates and then nothing until he completed a solitary move to West Ham, where he once again put Leal's spotlight on that season in which he scored more goals than in his entire career.

The United man's career up to that point reached nine, this made him a hot transfer. Goal with Lingard wanting to leave United to get more playing time. Both the player and the club seemed ready for a happy ending, but then United mysteriously blocked it. all transfers for him, this was despite Ranik telling Lingard he could leave the club twice in January, he ultimately festered until the summer, when his contract expired with Lingard and he then refused to return to West Ham to join Nottingham Forest. The decision was surprising, but it made sense when you realized he would become the highest-paid player he signed. a one-year deal in which he featured in 17 league matches and scored a total of zero goals and also failed to register a single assist in that time despite having a hand in four goals in the League Cup semi-finals.

Lingard was released the following year and after years without a club it was announced that he would sign a 2-year contract with South Korean team FC Soul, a move that was described as the biggest signing in K-League history. However, It's been a terrible start and the manager even questioned his work ethic stating that his name alone has no value on the pitch if he doesn't bother trying to move on to one of the players Jose actually sold during his time at Chelsea. We have Juan Mata after the success of the Europ League. Together, Mata scored the most important goal. free kick against Juventus in the Champions League which gave us one of the most iconic marinho clips of all time, good performances and love from fans meant Mata was rewarded with the contract extension which took him to the time of Ole at the wheel rather controversially, however, he got another extension in the 2122 season even though many fans thought it was probably time to say goodbye to a cult hero and look to rebuild with the future in mind after winning four trophies for United, although Mata left for Galatasaray, where he won the league before moving. a year later to join J One league club visell coob for one game.

Hey, he still got a winner's medal when they won the league, so you gotta give it to him I guess, but next up is a player who is synonymous with what he commonly is. known as the worst exchange deal in football history Henrik mkhitaryan now i have to admit i had high expectations for this guy his ex dortmund made me believe he was said to be one of the top 10 players in the world but he was honestly , his United career under José wasn't that bad to begin with, after all there was that iconic Scorpion Kick goal, even if it was offside and Jud scored a better one a few days later anyway, then the next season, mkhitaryan attended a record five. goals in his first four Premier League games, however, he was then dropped for poor form and never returned to the team before joining Arsenal in 2011/18 in a swap for Alexis Sánchez, to make matters worse, he then scored against United , then he should have left. to the 2019 Eura League final with Arsenal to face Chelsea, but because he was of Armenian descent aaban was not allowed to enter safely, so he had to stay home and watch his team lose , a solitary move against Roma became permanent to reunite with José. where he also won the conference The League's success in Italy continued after a transfer to Inter Milan, where he recently extended his contract until 2026.

One player who has not had success in Italy after leaving United, however, is the infamous Paul Pogba, possibly the biggest fall from grace in this entire video and one of the biggest cases of failed potential in football history after Jose signed the Frenchman for a world record fee at the time. Pogba was expected to help drag United back to the top of world football. He didn't go as planned. I have a The full video already covers his never-ending nightmare, but to sum up everything that could have gone wrong for Pogba, injuries prevented him from achieving consistent form.

I perceived that the lack of effort prevented him from achieving consistent form and that's not to mention the fights with the trainers. to the point where Pogba and José were said not to even speak to each other and the Frenchman was referred to as a virus for the club, but even after José left Pogba's United Future was overshadowed by a relentless and joyful round of speculation about his desire to leave and Pogba confirmed it publicly at the end for the second time in his United career. He left to join Juventus on a free transfer and stated in his documentary that he wanted to prove that United were wrong in letting him go, despite this, his first season went.

Plagued by further injuries and then the following season he was suspended from football for 4 years due to doping meaning we may have already seen the end of Pogba's football career moving up the pitch we went from a marine virus to a Mourinho fan favorite. Under Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swede scored 28 goals in his first season at United, but suffered a terrible knee injury towards the end, unfortunately for him and the club, from which he never fully recovered, leading to his admitting that it was time to move on, since he had nothing more to offer. and then Zlatan joined LA Galaxy.

That was supposed to be the end for him, but this is Zlatan we're talking about and he soon returned to European football by rejoining AC Milan. It truly was a match made in heaven. He helped AC Milan. Returning to Champions League football after finishing as Sera runners-up, the season was not without controversy, as Zlatan fell out with his former United teammate Romelo Lukaku, calling him a donkey and receiving a €40,000 fine. . Then he was interrupted once again by injury, but found himself smashing over 500 goals in his career, earning him another contract extension. The then 40-year-old helped Milan win the Sera for the first time in 11 years after a late contract extension.

Zlatan became the oldest Seria. scorer at the age of 41 for finally announcing his retirement, however, just 6 months later he had already returned to the club as an advisor, the signing of Zlatan United, however, marked the beginning of the end for Anthony Martial, first they took away his number his jersey and then his playing time was drastically reduced, leading him to believe that José did not respect him. His opportunities abroad also disappeared with the signing of Alexis Sánchez despite starting the season in good form with nine goals in January, making him the club's top scorer. He then sparked even more fights with José, as Martial eventually lost his place in the national team due to lack of playing time, things soon improved for the Frenchman, although the arrival of O earned him a new contract at the club.

At one point he was a player. of the season after finishing as the top scorer with 23 goals and 12 assists despite missing two months due to injury, but there is the problem of injuries. Martial's career never resumed due to this very reason he had to play with injuries for a long time which led to an endless drop in form and eventually an injury which prevented him from playing fully when he regained his form was impossible to save, causing the club to send him out on loan as no one was willing to match his salary for a permanent transfer on this trip.

S was labeled a total failure by the Spanish media after he managed just one goal and one assist, causing fans to boo Marcial even at United. The following season, in the few games he played, he encountered more disappointed fans which brought us to now, where he seems determined to leave the club for free and never reach the heights everyone expected him to reach after that debut goal. . I guess we won't need to pay that bailout clause, at least for a player who fans still hope will reach glorious heights. Although Marcus Rashford José played against him more than any other player in his first season, but even after the success under Mourinho, Rashford continued to shine, including one of the most iconic goals in the club's recent history following the dramatic comeback against PSG in the Champions League.

Ole, now Rashford full-time, had consecutive seasons in which he scored 20-plus goals, but a nagging shoulder injury and a missed penalty in the Euro final with England saw his form fall off a cliff at this point. , other clubs like PSG were interested in signing him, but Rashford backed himself to succeed at United and he did. The following season he became the first player since Rooney to reach 100 goals for the club and even after being dropped for arriving late to a meeting against Wolves, Rashford still came out. the bench to surprise and win the match was voted Busby Player of the Year and Club Player of the Year by scoring 30 goals in the 2223 season.

He truly was one of the most knowledgeable players on the planet, but everything went wrong again the next day. year despite signing a deal that saw him earn £325,000 a week, Rashford has entered arguably his worst form in a United shirt with some even questioning his commitment to the club; However, it is obvious that United value scoring as their future and have no plans to change that. Any time soon, regardless of his form this season, one player whose career Rashford would dream of emulating is, of course, Wayne Rooney. Now, Rooney's final years at United were spent with José, where he eventually became the club's top scorer and then returned to Everton on a free transfer. where he scored from the halfway line similar to how he had done for United years before, then in 2018 he left England and joined DC United where he again scored from the halfway line and was named DC's MVP and Boot winner Gold, but his time in the MLS came to an end fairly quickly when he returned to England to become player manager at Derby County after a poor run of results, manager Philip Koku was fired and shortly after Rooney became When the club coach retired from professional football, things went well, but they soon changed. he soured again, resulting in a 21o reduction.

Rooney did everything he could to try to keep Darby on top, but failed and ended up resigning from his position. He rejoined DC United as manager before once again agreeing to leave the club, which saw him end up at Birmingham, where it's safe to say things didn't go well as he was sacked after only two wins in 15 games. .
