I've seen something like this (self.reddevils)

When Mourinho arrived at Porto the team was out of the CL, morale was down and they didn't really have BIG prospects. We were dominating internally but that last season right before the start of his tenure was quite a disgrace.

Mourinho is unique in playing the underdog, and I think his work at Madrid proves how fucking unbelievable he is. He was able to control Barcelona and made Madrid feel like the true giants they are. He was terribly unlucky too: 3 CL semis but no trophy. Ancelotti and Zidane built on his legacy, and thanks to that Madrid has been probably the biggest contender when it comes to CL for 6 years straight now.

When he says for you to forget the last 3 seasons, you better fucking believe it. Bringing Pogba shows an immense vote of confidence from the board, and if you are all in the same boat I honestly believe that Mourinho could really do something unique at United. Pogba under Mourinho will become a monster, and everyone knows it. When Mourinho has the club 100% with him, he's unmatched. I still don't understand why Chelsea didn't gave him what he wanted this time around, but just look what happened at Porto, Inter and for the most part in Madrid.

When he was coaching in Portugal he was obsessed with Man Utd, and now he was the chance to prove/challenge himself. Times are different and cycles are now much shorter, but it's obvious that Mourinho will try to build a legacy as important or at least comparable to that of SAF. Even if that's an impossible and unreasonable objective, he'll use that fire for long term motivation. And on the short term he'll get to destroy Guardiola.

History is about to happen lads.

Seeing your title, I was convinced this was a shitpost.

But I got to reading and I am a bit confused as to whether or not this is bad.

But yes, if you're looking for discussion, Mou indeed does well when he's incharge of transfers. And it is a proven fact that he is a winner, a leader, and a goddarn Red Devil!

Not the best of titles. Just sharing a few thoughts and my enthusiasm about the season that's about to start though.

Well he isn't exactly playing the underdog, regardless of how we have done recently Man Utd will always be front runners and buying Ibra, Miki and Pogba will hardly leave us in the underdog bracket, with Pogba we would be expected at a top 3 finish and probably more.

Barca as well won the battles with Real during Mourinho's time there, they won the CL they won more leagues than Real in those years. Mourinho also had the most expensive player in the World at his disposal and an amazing team around him and I would argue he was brought in to end the Barca dominance and to win la decima which he failed to do.

Plus there is nothing to indicate he will stay here and create a legacy, he hasn't stayed anywhere for too long so far and any though on him trying a twenty year reign is total speculation.

I am as happy and as hopeful as the next guy on Jose but ffs I think you are being a bit too over the top optimistic. Jose has a lot of flaws that can't be denied and at the minute it is his job to make us all forget about the last 3 years and to forget about his last year at Chelsea.

The club and the manager both need redemption however and they should be a perfect fit for each other, but where Jose goes drama is never to far behind.

The gap between Barcelona and Madrid at the time was immense, and even if he didn't succeed in all fronts I think the legacy of his work still stands. People praise a lot his defensive work at Inter, but I've never ever seen a team as deadly in counter attack as Madrid in his second season.

Obviously Man Utd is not an underdog like Porto and Inter or even Chelsea once were, but most players lack significant trophies and that plays into that kind of narrative.

Totally with you on the drama though. It's part of the game.

Also the good thing about this is Mourinho is only 53. He still has plenty of years managing. Unlike say someone who's 64+....
