We Need New Midfielder—Mourinho
Jose Mourinho has stated the need for a new midfielder urgently at Old Trafford. According to the football tactician, it is pertinent to get one, as Michael Carrick retries by the end of the season. Carrick, 36, has taken up an offer to join Mourinho’s coaching staff at Old Trafford at the end of the season, bringing to an end his 12-year playing career at the club.
When asked about possible new recruits when the transfer window reopens, Mourinho said: “We need to sign a midfield player because we are going to lose Michael Carrick.
Of course, we need balance in the team and I said that months ago. You can accuse me of many things but you cannot say I lie to you.
“When I don’t want to say things, I don’t say, but I don’t take you in other directions. So, I told you we don’t want to sign any strikers or wingers, and yes we are looking for a midfield player.”
One player who has been tipped by many to fill Carrick’s boots is Scott McTominay, the 21-year-old midfielder who has broken into the United first team this season. But the experience of the young lad is what is questionable, especially for a Mourinho that likes his players ‘’Already Made’’
He has made 12 appearances so far this campaign, and when asked about the chances of another youngster being promoted to replace Carrick, Mourinho said: “It depends what you understand by promotion.
