The journey of the Premier League’s new season has begun, and Manchester United and Mourinho have become one of the hottest spots. In the eyes of Premier League legend Alan Shearer, Mourinho should stop complaining and focus on helping Manchester United win.
The following is an excerpt from the column of Alan Shearer’s “The Sun”: Mourinho said a lot about Manchester United this summer – but they all complained. Now it is difficult for us to compare this Mourinho with the one who entered Chelsea in 2004. In 2004, he was witty and smiling, and he had a positive arrogance; however, looking at the Manchester United version, he is both aggressive and always frowns and growls at everyone.
I don’t know if he is also on the training ground, but I suspect that his problems with Pogba will be very attractive. This week, I saw that Pogba wanted to leave Manchester United before the European transfer deadline. I am not surprised at this. We saw the best side of Pogba at the World Cup, and Deschamps succeeded in making Pogba perform very well and very good. Pogba must replicate his good state at Manchester United, but in the same way, let Pogba play the best side, and Mourinho’s work.
When you see Manchester United’s lineup, you will find that they are very talented. The goalkeeper is David De Gea, as well as Bailey, Matić, Pogba, Lingard, Fred, Mata, and Sanchez, Rushford, Lukaku, and Martial. But they were 19 points away from Manchester City last season and didn’t win any championship. Manchester United must win the trophy, they don’t seem to be a “happy boat” – this is what Mourinho said.
In every interview, Mourinho complained, frowning and glaring at everyone. But now he can’t change the lineup. He has to work with the players he has now, and the players are full of talent. His complaint must stop, he must turn to consider how to win the game.
Manchester United’s competitive pressure this year is very high, Liverpool spent huge sums of money, trying to narrow the gap with Manchester City, and Manchester City also spent 60 million pounds to introduce Mahrez. Mourinho will take Manchester United to a reasonable position to challenge Manchester City.
Another noteworthy point is that Mourinho had lost support for the locker room in both Real Madrid and Chelsea. Now in Manchester United, Sanchez has not made a price, Mourinho has criticized Pogba and Luke Shaw. Mourinho must be clear that if he continues to fight against the players, he will never win. His experience at Chelsea is proof that Chelsea’s top players don’t want to play for him, and after him, Conte won the Premier League with the same team. If Mourinho is not cautious, but continues to criticize others, a similar thing will happen in Manchester United.
