Jose Mourinho lamented that he was not trusted during his time at Manchester United.
“Mourinho said that if the club had believed in him more, the results would have been different,” the British media outlet The Independent reported on April 24 (ET).
Mourinho took over at United ahead of the 2016-2017 season. In his first year, the club finished sixth in the Premier League, but won the Europa League and EFL Cup. The 2017-2018 season was uneventful, but they finished second in the Premier League.
Mourinho was fired in December 2018. Mourinho was fired in December 2018 after another poor season in the league.
“My personal relationship with the club was not bad, but professionally, it was not the best,” Mourinho said, according to the Independent.
“I am me. I am a footballer. 안전놀이터 I didn’t get the support that Eric Tenhach got. I didn’t have that level of support. I was not trusted as much as he was. So I had to leave sadly,” he reflected.
Mourinho believes that given more time, United would have rebounded.
“I felt that things could have been different if they had trusted me more and believed in my experience. I did my job. Time always tells the truth,” he said.
Indeed, Mourinho has been followed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Eric Ten Bosch, and others, but none have done better than Mourinho.
“I think there are still players that I didn’t want five or six years ago. I want United to succeed,” he said.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool soccer pundit Jamie Carragher recently mocked United and Tenakh.
“Carragher said Eric Tenakh could be sacked after United’s lucky win,” British media outlet The Mirror reported on Feb. 22.
United defeated Coventry City in the 2023-2024 FA Cup semifinals at Wembley Stadium in London on Nov. 21 after 120 minutes of extra time and a penalty shootout.
The Red Devils raced out to a 3-0 lead before surrendering a 3-3 tie and then narrowly won 4-2 in penalty kicks.
Coventry City is the eighth-ranked club in the English Professional Football Championship.
“I think Tenakh will lose his job as United manager after this game, I don’t see how he can stay. The United locker room is probably filled with shame.”
Carragher added: “You walk into the locker room and everyone is looking at each other, not knowing whether to celebrate or not. “I can’t imagine sitting there not knowing what a joy it is to be in the FA Cup final. 바카라사이트 추천 They’d probably be looking away from each other,” he mocked.
Former United player Roy Keane also weighed in on the criticism.
“We have the same conversation about United every week,” he said, according to The Sun. We say United need a bit of luck. Harry Maguire (United defender) says they showed a good fighting spirit, but I didn’t see that.”
“They wasted time looking at the goalkeeper when they should have just concentrated on the game,” Keane said. They didn’t show courage. It’s going to be a big problem for United in the future.”
