Rio Ferdinand has made more than his fair share of flighty statements over the years, but hinting that Jose Mourinho should be the next Manchester United[LNB]manager shows he really does have his head in the clouds.[LNB]The Portuguese may be arrogant enough for the job, as Ferdinand claims, but what about the club's tradition of attacking football?[LNB] Winner at all costs: Mourinho's style would not go down well at Old Trafford[LNB] [LNB]Mourinho is a pragmatist and really couldn't care less about style and aesthetics. He wins at all costs and whatever you think about United, winning alone never seems to be enough.[LNB]   More from Hatchet Man... Hatchet man: QPR owners should give Sousa the time they were promising[LNB]02/03/09 Hatchet man: Stumbling Brown matches Geovanni with a tantrum of his own[LNB]02/03/09 Hatchet man: Carling Cup final Fan-O-Meter was nothing to shout about[LNB]02/03/09 Hatchet man: Redknapp and O'Neill left with egg on their faces[LNB]02/03/09 Simon Jordan [LNB]27/02/09 HATCHET MAN: Gray was pie in the Sky when he said Baggies lack fight - West Brom lack quality not bottle[LNB]27/02/09 HATCHET MAN: When players can count the fans at a near-empty Riverside, Pogatetz thinks it's brilliant practice for the second division[LNB]27/02/09 HATCHET MAN: If Liverpool send for Mourinho it will be Benitez's own fault - at least Jose knows how to sign contracts and win Premier League titles [LNB]27/02/09 VIEW FULL ARCHIVE[LNB]  They may have some thoroughly irritating players and Mr Unreasonable himself as a manager in Sir Alex Ferguson, but they always seem to try to play and bringing in Mourinho would mean an end to that.[LNB]Ferdinand apparently is planning to have owls at his wedding later this year and while that may not be a wise move, replacing the Scottish one when he retires with the Special One is an idea from cloud cuckoo land.[LNB] [LNB]
