Taken without context, yeah a manager does have the right to criticise his player. But with Mourinho, it seems like he does this every other week. If it's not Woodward, it's his players. If not, it's the fans.
Coupled with the way the team plays, it's getting tiresome.
I will never figure out his need to go on a public rant everytime things go somewhat bad, it's like there is no filter as soon as his pulse goes up a bit. He's a grown man, he should be able to control himself.
Why does he give Woodward shit in public? Can't he just call him up and unleash a rant on the phone?
He says the game doesn't matter but he still seems very upset about it?
If the game doesn't matter, why was it so important that Martial rushed back instead of spending a couple of days with his newborn?
If the game doesn't matter, why does he seem pissed about Smalling not playing through pain? Why does he heap praise over Bailly playing despite not feeling fully fit? Why should any player play through pain in preseason?
We should consider letting Mckenna do these postmatch interviews in the future...

It's weird though, on the surface everyone at the club, player and coach-wise, looks to be really enjoying themselves and there seems to be a really positive atmosphere around the club. Our YouTube channel obviously wouldn't show negative stuff but from all the videos they've released of "behind the scenes" footage the dressing room seems to be very happy.
The writing is on the wall for José. It's his third season here and he's looks more glum than ever. Let's not over think this, it's done. Done in the sense that we are just in a holding pattern for now. Whatever we were going to get from him has been gotten.
The back 3 was horrible. I hope United only use it very sparingly next season, the loss of a potential extra attacking player is often felt, especially in a side which is expected to win most games.
Frankly it's nothing short of fascinating how Mourinho has managed to split the fan base.
If it was only dogshiit football, I reckon people wouldn't mind it as much, but his antics and constant moaning is just too much to deal with.

Look who is back! We have missed you.
In terms of pre-season form its completely irrelevant, but no credible United fan wants to lose to Liverpool, no matter what is at stake.
His press conferences have been dire however, but I am not sure if this is a mind game to get the board to deliver certain targets.

I'd rather not create another thread for this mildly amusing exercise, maybe there won't be any takers, but if you were a journo at a Jose press conference, what would you ask him and how would you phrase it or qualify it?
It's good to be missed!
Are you actually this miserable all the time, or is your negativity mostly a tactic to help manage expectations in such a way that performances are subsequently more likely to exceed them than fall below them?
A good question though he'd likely cut you down with a one liner though. You could maybe get an answer to that by dressing that up nicer.
I'd like something along the lines of "how many players do you need in order to feel confident in competing for the league and the CL" or "what does it take in your view to restore United to where the fans want to see the club". If the board would comply with that he could then have absolutely no excuses. As it is, he can though.
Something about how he didn't come back from holiday as fit as he should have and that is why he go injured.. of all the things to say about Valencia, fitness should be last on the list I think
Mourinho is a disgrace - his comments about the youngsters were a new low even for that moron. It puzzles me that there are people who actually defend him.
It puzzles me that posters call him a moron too fwiw.
Weirdo.
What did he say which is so horrible so Everybody is in panic here?
Not much, as per usual. People are just being soft. If you add in the anti-Mourinho crowd - who has been ready to pounce from day 1 then you are pretty much golden.
It seems like he's at the end of his job judging by their comments.
*shrugs*
He could say blue is blue and day is day and he'd get hell for that..
Yes he would because both the moon & the sun are constantly wrong whilst he never would be
It’s funny. It’s mostly the anti-Mourinho bunch that hang on his every word.
Being fairly apathetic myself, I stopped listening to what he had to say outside of games long before he joined United.
I think the football will improve this season as he can't park the bus, there's too many players clogging up the wheels under there to move it.
The comment about how he wouldn't of paid to watch the game was disgraceful.
I wouldn't of paid to watch Man Utd reserves in a pointless game nor would a lot of us who are lucky enough to live somewhere where we can easily get to Old Trafford. However, for the American fans who only get to see Man Utd play once every so often. For our manager to come out and say that is really out of order.

I wanted him here since I found out Fergie was leaving us. Listening to him speak about Manchester United when he was at other clubs gave the impression that he got our club and he had the pedigree and personality to deal with the expectations. I was never put off by his prick like behaviour either because people who are the best at what they do have that arrogance.
No idea what has happened to that Mourinho. He’s starting to remind me of Capello a serial winner who refused to adapt. Right down to the insistence that a target man in the box is the best way forward.

Jose looks a broken man. Maybe he realises he cant do it anymore given the pressure he is under, he has lost his right hand man Faria and this season is pivotable for him. His constant excuses and negativity is typical mourinho. Trying to clear himself of blame if the team falls short.
Remember for jose it is all about jose.

Stop sitting on the fence to sound like you have a balanced opinion when the manager just shat on a bunch of our kids who dream to play for United.
He did? How?
He probably had too much tacos while in LA
What a miserable sod he has become....maybe it's all an act but at what end? Feck off already.....bring in a motivated attack minded manager who wants to be here.
I have no great love for Mourinho but this stuff about the young players is being massively overstated. If they have anything about them at all, they will just see it as a challenge to be the type of player he wants them to be.
Sorry, extremely positive? How? We're not much closer to winning the league now than we were when Mourinho took over, and our football is not much better than under LVG. The entertainment value is terrible.
Am I reading it right? Sound like a pissed triggered parent
The entertainment value is terrible no doubt, but no one expects us to be pushovers like we were under LVG or Moyes. This current Mourinho team would compete or win in all seasons after Fergie other than last year. No one expects us to win the league during the time Pep is here, he is just a better manager with a better team. I want Mourinho gone but we have undoubtedly progressed.
Maybe it'll improve in general, but in the biggest games, Jose will still be Jose.
People expecting a change are silly. He is who he is. For better or worse. We just have to hope he gets us results.
