Mourinho And Manchester United Are A Marriage Of Convenience Because They Need Each Other, But It's A Gamble


From what was once a team of George Clooneys, United now face a bleak landscape of B-list opportunities if the Mourinho gamble doesn't pay off

It is four years ago now since Richard Arnold, then Manchester United’s commercial director, trumpeted the box office pazazz of the club by insisting that Old Trafford possessed ‘25 George Clooneys’ within the squad, such was the kudos and glamour associated with wearing the red shirt.

United were serial winners at the time and had only recently been knocked off their perch by Sergio Aguero’s stoppage time title-clinching goal for Manchester City in the dying seconds of the 2011-12 season.

But despite a rare season of failure under Sir Alex Ferguson, Arnold’s point was that United’s status as the biggest and most successful club in the country, and one of the most iconic in the world, would continue to ensure that on-field success would be driven by superstars on the pitch.
