Jose Mourinho admits he deserved to be sacked as
Manchester United manager – but he isn’t enjoying
watching them struggle under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United who were deservedly beaten 2-0 at West Ham on
Sunday, a result which saw them drop down to
eighth in the Premier League table.
The club were in sixth when Mourinho was sacked
midway through last season, with fans disgruntled
at what they saw as an overly defensive style of
football.
“I’m not the right person to answer it,” Mourinho
said on Sky Sports when asked about United’s
problems.
“I was sacked, I probably deserved to be sacked
because I was responsible as the manager, but the
sad reality is that they are worse than before.
“And for me that is a sad thing. Maybe people think
I’m enjoying the situation but I’m not enjoying it at
all.”
“I have people in the club I love, I have lots of
respect for the fans and for me it’s really sad
because when a team is ‘boring’, you are boring but
you can still get the results,” he added.
