Who else isn’t feeling Jose Mourinho's tactics at Old Trafford? Some respected name in football just spoke up.

The Portuguese’s approach to management has been fiercely criticized by Ron Atkinson who managed the Red Devils for 5 years in the 80s. The 77 year-old advised the ex Real Madrid coach to change his ways adding that his reliance on a siege mentality will not work at Old Trafford.


And here is the former footballer and broadcaster’s career advice for the former Chelsea boss, 'There's nothing wrong with being fiercely protective of your players, but that doesn't mean you have to antagonise everybody else. I don't think that approach would work at Manchester United because it can lead to the club becoming claustrophobic. It is a global brand and you cannot run it as your personal fiefdom.'

Guardiola (centre) says he will have a glass of wine with Mourinho if he is offered one

The Manchester Derby is one of the hottest topics discussed in football circles right not. The reason isn’t far-fetched. The managers of both teams would go head to head for the first time since taking reigns at their respective clubs. Downplaying his rivalry with Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola said he won't turn down an offer to share wine with the Portuguese. "I’ll accept (wine) if he invites me.  I have a lot of respect for him. I learned from him, it's as simple as that. 'He was my coach, the assistant with Bobby Robson. OK it was not easy at Barcelona. We met each other two weeks ago at the manager's meeting and we spoke with Koeman, Pulis and so on.


And his expectations in the forthcoming game, the former Bayern Munich manager added, 'I want to control the game, concede few counter attacks. I would like to play the way we did in the last five games. United are getting better, like us. They have a lot of talent. Martial is so fast, Mata in between the lines. Set pieces with the tall guys it is impossible to control. They are a top team.'

Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho attended a UEFA managers' conference over the break

This is many shades of funny.

Arsene Wenger reignited his beef with Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho today after he refused to let the latter sit beside him at a UEFA managers' conference.

 Here's a report from Dailymail.co.uk.
Mourinho arrived late at a speech being delivered by an Old Trafford great, Sir Alex Ferguson. Spotting a seat opposite Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery and Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and next to Wenger, the 53-year-old asked if he could occupy the space. Without batting an eyelid, Wenger replied: 'No, it isn't possible.' Wenger is regarded as having 'won' the exchange, with other managers in the room laughing at his response to the Manchester United boss.

Wenger needs to chill.

Manchester United's business with the transfer market is over, coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed. The Red Devils splashed a hefty price on four solid acquisitions. Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba  in the summer and the ex Chelsea manager couldn't be more happier with the quality of the squad.

The Portuguese told MUTV, "I think we'll have a very quiet week in terms of transfers. I am more than happy with the squad. "It's the first time I've worked with such a number of players because I'm used to working with 20 plus the keepers, and we have in the squad 23 plus the keepers – and even so we had to make decisions and let some players go on loan, and try to sell others."

"But this group of 23 is a great group and I think in this moment – and I told them this – there is a little bit of frustration for the ones that I have not selected. They work hard to be in the match and they aren't, and this is going to happen in the next two or three weeks because we have just one Premier League match.
"But, in September, the League Cup starts, the Europa League starts, we start playing three matches a week and then everybody is involved and the squad is good. The empathy between the guys is really good too, so I'm happy with the squad."

Newly-signed Manchester United player, Paul Pogba’s world record transfer fee has raised not a few eyebrows but Jose Mourinho doesn’t care whose ox is gored. The former Juventus player was reportedly snapped for around $116 million surpassing the current transfer record of $112.2 million Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale 3 years ago. The 23 year-old midfielder has flown into Manchester for his medical and should be unveiled in the coming days.
The former Chelsea manager has however hailed his employers' spectacular signing.
“No, I don’t think Real Madrid was upset when they broke the record with Gareth Bale or when they broke the record with Cristiano Ronaldo, I think that was a world record too. When other people break records, I don’t think it’s a reason to be sad. I think it’s a reason to be proud with the dimension of the club that can do that and can attract players of this dimension.

“If you ask if I think it is a lot of money, I think football is crazy, the market has become crazy. What you think this season is crazy, you realise that three years later it’s not crazy any more. And I think there are players that cost ten million that are super expensive because there are players who are four hundred or five hundred thousand or one million. What is expensive and what is not expensive in football, I don’t know any more. I just know that he’s a big player that is going for sure to be important for a big club like Man United. And I’m sure that every Man United fan around the world will be proud to belong to such a big club.”

Is it safe to conclude that Jose Mourinho is still harbouring ill feelings towards Chelsea? Recall Just less than eights months after leading Chelsea to their fourth Premier League title, the former Inter Milan boss was sacked as Chelsea manager after a poor start to the season. 


During Manchester United's pre season tour in China, a legion of fans scrambled to get autographs from the new Reds boss at the Shanghai Stadium.

The Portuguese spotted a Chelsea shirt among the numerous kits presented to him but refused to sign it. He shook his head at the fan who presented it and then moved on. A United official then stepped in to move the supporter with the Blues shirt to the back of the queue. 





I hope Chelsea fans won't take offence.

Wayne Rooney has expressed his eagerness to work under Jose Mourinho- the new manager of Manchester United next season.The English skipper who is ready to prove his worth to the new boss also branded the 'Special One'  a tactician and successful coach who will turn things around at Old Trafford.

He told  Manchester United magazine, “I’m really excited to be working with Jose this season as he’s one of the best managers in the world. It’s an exciting time for Manchester United. I’ve always respected him both as a man and a manager, he’s a nice guy and one of the most successful managers of all time. I like to think I’m always motivated as a player but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit more motivated when a new manager comes in. I’m sure all the lads will be happy to be working under Jose and also eager to impress.
“I’ve played against many Mourinho sides over the years and I can’t remember any easy games, so I think that says it all. His teams are always hard to beat, tactically disciplined and, most importantly, successful.
“He’ll bring all these qualities with him and I’m sure he’ll have his own ideas, but one of the biggest assets will be his experience. He’s managed a lot of successful teams throughout his career and all that experience will be vital.”

The simmering feud that won't go away! Mourinho has launched a fresh attack at his old nemesis, Arsene Wenger during his first press conference as Manchester United.

Asked if he can bounce back after his Chelsea exit last December. Rather than give a direct answer, the Portuguese poked fun at the frenchman's EPL trophyless run. "There are some managers, the last time they won a title was 10 years ago. For me, it was one year." He said.

Former Chelsea doctor, Eva Carneiro has settled constructive dismissal claim against Jose Mourinho as Chelsea apologise unreservedly. The British doctor who reportedly

Rio Ferdinand has welcomed Jose Mourinho to “the biggest club in the world” following claims that the Portuguese completed his move to Old Trafford today.


He wrote on Facebook: “Congratulations to Jose on being announced manager of the biggest club in the world! This is Jose Mourinho’s most exciting & most challenging job yet.
“The first thing he needs to do is install ‘winning mentality’ back into the club. Get this ingredient back into the players but also the people that work inside the club day to day. Give them back that belief so it is breathing throughout the club again, which is so important. But doing the above in the Manchester United way is equally as important.
“I have heard many say the ‘Mourinho WAY’ is not the Manchester United style of playing football. However, the Chelsea team that Jose put together first time round when he entered the Premier League played with wingers and hurt teams with quick attacking play. They had the likes of [Arjen] Robben and [Damien] Duff on the wings who were direct and quick. This is a sign he knows how to get a team playing in a way Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing.”

He also addressed claims that the Portuguese would ditch club traditions.

“Another doubt I keep hearing and being asked is, will he keep in with the tradition of the club which is bringing through the young players? For the moment, I can’t answer this, only time will tell.
“One thing I can tell Manchester United fans is that they have got themselves a true winner in all aspects. His CV shows success!
“After his recent unsuccessful time at Chelsea in the final year, I can assure you this winner is now a wounded animal which makes him such a mouthwatering appointment. Jose went from winning the League cup &Premier League to losing a dressing room at Chelsea and I am certain he will want to restore all of that very quickly.
“He will be desperate to silence the media who have been writing and saying negative things about him (he will have stored it all being the competitor he is) and will be as focused as ever.
“Mourinho’s huge personality is made for this great club, it’s what he has been waiting for. Wishing him all the best!”

According to reports, Jose Mourinho's move to Manchester United is experiencing a little delay because the Blues still own him. The Portuguese ceded control to his name allowing Chelsea to retain trademark to the name 'Jose Mourinho' even after leaving the club.  
Although he has agreed personal terms at Old Trafford, another thing delaying his announcement is conflict in sponsorship deals. The Special One has a sponsorship deal with Jaguar and the Red Devils sponsor is Chevrolet, so the board are trying to get him to switch cars.

PSG star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed the difference between the coaching styles of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiol. The Swedish player played  under both managers during his spells at Inter Milan and Barcelona in 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons.  

"Mourinho is the disciplinarian. Everything with him is a mind game — he likes to manipulate. Such tricks were new for me — all the time doing one thing to get another thing, all the time triggering me. I like these games and it worked for me; I became top scorer under him and we won the league. As long as it works and as long as we win, it’s all good with me.

"The way Mourinho prepared for games was also new to me. I would get pumped up, believing the story he would feed us. I went through a lot of adrenaline when I played for him. It was like nothing was ever good enough. He gave and he took. Jose Mourinho knows how to treat a footballer, but Carlo knows how to treat a person.
"After Mourinho I went to Pep Guardiola, the big brain in football. He had all these solutions for every team we played against, knowing exactly what we needed to do to win, exactly how he wanted it achieved. We could be winning 2–0 at half-time, but he would say, 'We’re not finished here. I want three, four, five, six, seven.' He was like a machine."

Jose Mourinho has paid  a rare but touching tribute to Alvaro Arbeloa ahead of his last home game for Real Madrid. The ex Blaugrana coach described the right back as a good player and professional player he has ever worked with.
Read the letter below
“Arbeloa is a friend, not just a player for me. Why does a player become a friend? By becoming an example of passion for his profession, of love for his club, of dedication to a working group and its objectives, humility and honor in the relationship with all those who work with him every day. In the history of our huge club it will be many of the best players in the world. Arbeloa does not have a high profile, but he is certainly one of those who has given Real Madrid, its fans, all his coaches and his teammates all he had and what he had not. Arbeloa, I have only words of thanks. In my 16 years of coaching I have, surely, you placed on the podium of the most important players with whom I have worked. A good player and an exceptional man.”
