Nowadays the truth is considered negative by some.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho laid the truth concerning the young players’ performance in the International Champions Cup - those young players are supposed to be the future of Manchester United.
If we use the Bill Parcells principle, ‘if you want me to cook for you, then allow me to go and buy the groceries - don't give me rotten tomatoes, spoiled potatoes, rancid onions and expect a great dish’
Here Manchester United front office and the academy gave Jose Mourinho ‘rotten tomatoes, spoiled potatoes and rancid onions’ thus the dish was tasteless. Manchester United must open up the purse and allow Jose Mourinho to acquire talent for the good of the club.
Manchester United will never rise to the stature of the days bygone - why - simple in the days of bygone Manchester United was the alpha dog in spending and acquiring talents, however today the competition is stronger and formidable - for example the cross town rival Manchester City has an unfathomable purse to spend as they wish to acquire talent - here clearly Manchester United cannot compete.
Coming back to Manchester United young players’ performance was clearly below average. Now how to deliver that message to the Manchester United board can be debated. To compound that heavy task on Jose Mourinho he is coupled with injured senior players. For the best of us, it will be frustrating
For Jose Mourinho who is expected to deliver silverware - it is impracticable or simply put impossible. So the truth shall set you free.
