I used to like this Mourinho but now he seems to have lost it. All he does now is blame his players, referees and opposition; he's thinking reputation wins games. Football is changing and he's stuck in the past just like wenger.

Oloriburuku somebody. Imagine Man Utd playing negative football against West Brom of all clubs?? Made me lose my corner betting..

By the way before Pep in England, most were saying he can't create and break such records in England. See what's he's done? Now that's a coach...

EPL is overrated jare...
Oga, why are you writing as if you are talking about our presidenthuh
Please stop it o.
We know that he and his APC party also blame everyone else and everything else but will never accept responsibility for their abject failure.
We prefer to stomach the suffering and continue chanting change change, maybe that will miraculously and magically fill our cars and chase away the hunger rumbling in our bellieshuh shocked

Manchester United's two biggest signings - Paul
Pogba and Romelu Lukaku - have both arrived in Jose
Mourinho's 18 months
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says the
£300m he has spent on his squad so far is "not
enough" after their 2-2 draw with Burnley on
Tuesday.
Jesse Lingard scored an injury-time equaliser and
the draw leaves United 12 points behind leaders
Manchester City.
"We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a
football team that you know is not one of the best
teams in the world," said the Portuguese.
"Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of
strikers," he added.
Mourinho was appointed United boss in May 2016 and
broke the world record last summer to sign £89m
midfielder Paul Pogba, plus £30m defender Eric Bailly
and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for £26.3m.
This year's big deal was £75m striker Romelu Lukaku,
as well as £31m defender Victor Lindelof and £40m
for midfielder Nemanja Matic.
"[Spending £300m] is not enough. The price for the big
clubs is different than for the other clubs. The big
historical clubs are normally punished in the market
because of that history," he said.
"The boys are doing what they can and they are
doing fine."
Mourinho was asked if eight points from the past five
games was good enough for a club like United.
He responded: "When you tell a club like Man Utd, do
you think Milan is not as big as us? You think Real
Madrid are not as big as we are?
"I know what a big club is. One thing is a big club
and another thing is a big football team. They are
two different things.
"When you speak about responsibilities to win the
Premier League, Tottenham doesn't have that
responsibility because they are not a club with the
same history as us.
"Arsenal don't have the responsibility to win it.
Chelsea don't have the responsibility to win it. When
you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking
about the history of the club."

Mourinho... The guy is a whiner. Always having things to blame.
He was even saying Manchester city had fixtures advantages, what is his business in thathuh
He is good but he has to change his defensive mentality

Mourinho is spot on, is just that united fans are too myopic to admit their squad is bang average. No single man united player can make mancity starting eleven (maybe pogba can), That is to show you how bad the squad is.
I'm not a united fan but shut the fűck up..

Compare Sterling of the past to now. Delph? Otamendi? Even Mangala?

Victor Moses at Chelsea? The PS4 David Luiz under Mourinho? E wan spoil Hazard E remain small

See Spurs players, see Liverpool players.. Even Arnautovic under Moyes.. .

No matter how mediocre your players are, it's the job of the manager to instill confidence in them and they will play their best. Is that what José is doing?

Give that same united team to Pep and I'm sure he'll turn them world class.. .

he (mourinho) is right you know........to win big, u have to spend. Pep has spent more than that to get his team where they are today.

As a United fan, I agree. I even think he has done a fantastic Job with such quality, but I blame hi seriously for not doing more at the transfer market, United didn't say they can't spend, you can't begrudge Guardiola, he knew what he needs to the best, he knew it will cost so much and he made sure City splahsed the cash and now it's working.

Sour loser or not, he's saying the fact. Give Guardiola the same team United had and let's see if he'll be so special after all. Guardiola inherited a team they've spent multi-millions on, a team Pellegrini used to win Epl and reach UCL semis just before Guardiola came in and he couldn't do sh*t with them last season, he had to spend another 430Million of his own, so...Yeah United has also spent but in comparison, united don't stand chance, they must spend more...It's a shame, average players now cost so much, talk-less superstars, but when you are a big club that must challenge for the title in modern football, you must shell the Cash to get the players that fits the status.
I look around that man city squad but can't find a super star. Please don't say De Bryune cuz that same Mou thought he was average n flinged him away. All those players are average players but pep turned them to good players.
Re: Manchester United: Jose Mourinho Says £300m Spent Not Enough by sandland: 6:49am On Dec 27, 2017
MOU should know that Lukaku offer's us nothing in defence. The match commentators' are saying so always. He gives away goals. And miss the one he should score.

First of all, the team Guardiola inherited had not just won the league as you claim, it was THREE seasons ago that city had won the league when Pep inherited the team he got.

Mou and Pep had one year in their various new teams to observe things and improve, so stop attacking only Pep for not performing well in EPL last season, he finished 3rd and Mou finished SIXTH! So who was more shitty in the EPL last season?

Now Pep had built his team and is doing magic, why didn't Mou build his team as well? He went buying useless players, its his fault that as a coach he doesn't have a good eye for good players. Look at the players running things for Pep like Fernandinho, Otamendi, De brunyne, Sané, Sterling; Mou would never had bought such players or make them become the best they are today. Lastly Pep is playing beautiful football and Mou is playing negative football and the results are showing, when the season started and Man Utd was winning, I'm sure people like you and Mou never complained, you all thought the team had what it takes, now reality has hit you guys you are making excuses, Mou has spent huge money already in the transfer market and even if he spends more money in January he would still come out with nothing, the difference between him and Pep is that Pep's tactics and philosophy is working magic while Mou's tactics are outdated and as usual all he ever does at such point is give EXCUSES!

That's one of his problems, just too adamant. Lukaku don't know how to do anything in the defence, yet you keep using him there, the guy did Santa Claus for City you never learn, did another for Burnley now, he even wanted to do want for give one to his own keeper against Are=sena, but DE gea said mba...Is that not enough to change your style?
Re: Manchester United: Jose Mourinho Says £300m Spent Not Enough by henryhemon(m): 6:53am On Dec 27, 2017
Mou making excuses, he buys players that suits his style from matic,Bailey,Lindeof,Pogba, Lukaku etc you did think Utd are a rugby/basketball team. Mou goes for brute players over skillfull players and here he comes moaning. Look at the defenders Pep bought and even his goalkeeper are all skilled players. Look at how he has transformed sterling and this other English guy that plays left back now (forgotten his name) to good players. Mou should shut it Abeg.

factsandfigures:
The problem with Man U is Lukaku. He is a sharp and intelligent striker. And Mouriho is too proud and stubborn to admit that Lukaku is short one to Man U...........What's my own...Chelsea for life!
Lukaku is not the problem, but the coach's primitive approach to games. Lukaku needs creativity in the midfield so that he will struggle powerfully with one or two last defenders, but United is lacking such fluidity at present.

He was even instructed to join defence while playing 4-5-1. Imagine that!

This is a team. See how the coach is lamenting on how 300million is not enough to bolster the team. My own stupid team ehn, they spent less that 50million and the stupid coach thinks he can win anything with it? To hell with Wenger angry angry
