Is Jose Mourinho our most high-profile acquisition in club history? (self.reddevils)

GGMU1992Jose Mourinho が 投稿

When you consider all the acquisitions we've had, players and managers, is Jose Mourinho the biggest celebrity? Sure, we've had very high profile people at the club, but their profiles grew while they were here, rather than before we acquired them.

Even though a bit past his prime, I'd say it was Schweinsteiger. Captain of World Cup winning team, revered as a God in his home country, Football royalty to boot. I just wish he was a bit more fit, would have been an invaluable presence on the field.

He still can be! Lets see what happens next year.

He will be, no two ways about it. We have lacked a leader on the pitch since Roy left. Plus the first few games that he played, he was actually orchestrating the play. My god what a wonderful sight it was to see.. Always wanted Bastian to play for Utd and never ever thought he'd sign for us. When he did, I couldn't believe it for the first few months. I think he will be very important next season, and he should be. Guy still has a good season or two left in his engine. 15-20 games a season and i'll be happy.

I agree with you here. He came with a ridiculous pedigree.

Plenty have left with a huge reputation but few have joined

Di Maria and Falcao arrived with a reputation and a half between them! Whether or not they're deemed bigger than Mou is probably down to the individual to think.

Absolutely, but I dont know if they were quite as high profile as Jose Mourinho.

I really did not rate DiMaria that much, but loved Falcao was with United.

Di Maria's time with us was questionable though he did have moments of greatness. However, you cannot deny he was one of the best wingers in the world when he joined us.

Possibly. Cantona was a huge personality, Ronaldo grew into Ronaldo, Rooney after Euros was a young star, and Martial was a huge story because of the transfer fee, but I don't know if we've acquired someone who came equipped with so much baggage (both good and bad) before.

He might be.

Veron when he arrived came with a big reputation. Di Maria and Falcao too.

It's funny, we've always been a club that creates the talent or the legacy. Rarely have we had to look externally for a dig out. SAF, to be fair, came with a pedigree when he arrived though.

Certainly had a pedigree, but winning in Scotland isn't the same as winning the CL with teams from multiple countries and having a ridiculously arrogant nickname.

It was a different time but Bryan Robson was a huge player when he signed. Ditto Law when he moved back from Torino for a British transfer record.

If what you're asking is "in modernity who is the highest profile staff member United have acquired" then it's probably between Veron and Maureen.

[–]Giordano_5Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes i would say so. Most of the people who are superstars today like Ronaldo or SAF built their reputation at the club. The only person who could challenge him is maybe Di Maria.

Something a bit ironic at this point is that besides Mou and Bastian Schweinsteiger (one of the most prolific names in German football history) I'd argue that our most high-profile acquisition was Louis Van Gaal....
