If there was any justice in the world then an Exocet missile would clean hit that kid in a United top with the Mourinho scarf and the parent or guardian that bought it.
Because there is no justice in the world now is a good time to bet on John Stones' next club being Man Utd while you can get a price.

Good article on Mourinho, Man Utd and the conflict in their approach to the use of academy players.

Would Rashford, talented but raw, have got that chance under Mourinho? Almost certainly not. As promising as he has looked during his first five weeks as a first-team player at United, this is a forward who shows the innocence of youth and who had barely figured for England at youth level before his recent call-up to the under-20 squad — in contrast to the Chelsea duo of Dominic Solanke and Isaiah Brown, both also born in 1997 but much more highly praised in academy circles and, unlike Rashford, long established in the national development teams.
These are highly talented youngsters whom Mourinho thought ill equipped to make up the numbers in Chelsea’s squad this season, instead signing an injury-ravaged Radamel Falcao and sending the kids on loan to Vitesse Arnhem, where they are said to be playing regularly and contributing well enough without giving the impression that their development has been greatly accelerated.
Solanke’s only taste of first-team football under Mourinho was a 17-minute run-out in a 6-0 win over Maribor in the Champions League last season. Even with the Barclays Premier League title sewn up with three games remaining, Brown only got 11 minutes away to West Bromwich Albion. Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s occasional run-outs usually ended with an early substitution and a wrap on the knuckles. “For a player to play in the Chelsea first team, they must be ready,” Mourinho said last year. “With this level of demand and responsibility and pressure, there is no space for a player that is not ready. For example, when did I play Solanke? While winning 5-0 against Maribor in a competition where we qualified easily in the group phase. I cannot play Solanke against Southampton with 30 minutes to go and the score 1-1. I can’t.”
