Former Chelsea Director warns Manchester United against appointing Jose Mourinho.

Former Chelsea director, Frank Arnesen has warned Manchester United against replacing Louis Van Gaal with  Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese has for the past few months been heavily linked with the Manchester United job and is the odds favourite to take the reins at Old Trafford.

The former Danish footballer who left Stamford Bridge in 2010 however thinks appointing the the ex Real Madrid boss will ruin the Red Devils' philosophy.

“Mourinho is very demanding and sometimes the players can’t take it. He made some drastic changes and it cost him". 

He added: “Van Gaal could not buy all his players, but he has done tremendously well with the young kids. Manchester United should give him at least one year more. “What would happen if they replaced Van Gaal with Mourinho? The philosophy of Manchester United will go out of the window. But maybe they are that keen to have success.” The 59 year-old said.
