Former Blackburn Rovers managers suggestions will anger Tottenham Hotspur and bemuse Barcelona.
So maybe this is why Paul Ince is no longer in management.
Did he spend his time at MK Dons faxing off bids for Thierry Henry?
Real life football management is not a Football Manager computer game.
Just because you have X amount of money, does not mean you can sign any player at the click of a button.
Not that you would think he knew that judging by his comments made to Sky Sports this morning.
Ince needs to get real, home grown star Andres Iniesta is never going to leave Barcelona, and even if United bid £100 million that they do not have, the European champions would never sell the World Cup winning midfielder.
Did United sell Ince’s former teammate Ryan Giggs at his peak?
Spurs are almost as unlikely to sell Luka Modric this January.
Yes he wanted to leave in the summer, but there is no way Spurs would sell to a rival in the midst of a title charge.
Would Modric want to go anyway? Its far from cut and dry.
Ince is right on one thing, Manchester United need midfielders, but perhaps he needs to take a reality check next time he opens his mouth with suggested signings.
Sir Alex Ferguson won’t be phoning The Guvnor for advice any time soon.
– Who should Manchester United target?
