It is well-known that Jose Mourinho is not a big fan of academy products, and always prefers experienced stars to lead the attack. In Wesley Sneijder, Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard, the Portuguese had some excellent attacking players around whom he built his teams in such a way that it complemented these players. However, he has not managed to find that player so far in his stint at Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho would have expected winter transfer signing Alexis Sanchez to be that man for him at Manchester United, but for some reason the Chilean has not managed to fulfill expectations. With Anthony Martial not showing the consistency Mourinho asks for, and Lingard and Rashford not having the courage and maturity he demands, it is clear that the manager has struggled to find players to build his team around.
