Jose Mourinho reflects on Manchester United tenure and compares support to current boss Erik ten Hag

Jose Mourinho, the former Manchester United manager, has opened up about his time at the club, expressing his belief that he could have been more successful if he had received the same level of support and trust that current boss Erik ten Hag enjoys. Mourinho, who won the Carabao Cup and Europa League during his tenure at Old Trafford, spoke candidly about his working relationship with former chief executive Ed Woodward, citing a lack of professional support as a key factor in his departure from the club in 2018.

Since Mourinho’s departure, Manchester United has seen a revolving door of managers, with Ten Hag being the latest to take the helm. Despite leading in statistical categories such as clean sheets and goals conceded, Mourinho acknowledges that Ten Hag’s team has been more prolific in front of goal. However, questions remain about the future of the club under Ten Hag, especially with new ownership and potential changes in the transfer market looming.

Reflecting on his time at United, Mourinho also touched on the professionalism of certain players who remain at the club, suggesting that they may not meet the standards required for a club of United’s stature. Despite his criticisms, Mourinho expressed his desire for the club to succeed and move forward positively.

Sky Sports’ Gary Neville weighed in on the situation, predicting potential “turbulence” ahead for Manchester United as they navigate structural changes and decisions regarding the manager and players. With uncertainty surrounding the club’s direction and style of play, the future remains unclear for Manchester United under Ten Hag’s leadership.

As the football world watches closely, the saga at Manchester United continues to unfold, with fans and pundits alike eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the club’s storied history.
