JOSE MOURINHO
Jose Mourinho has been warned that he could make the
atmosphere in Manchester United’s dressing room ‘toxic’ with his tactics.
The
Portuguese suffered the heaviest Premier League defeat of his career on Sunday
as United slumped to a 4-0 loss against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho
was criticised for his tactics in the goalless draw with Liverpool last Monday,
and Jamie Redknapp believes the United manager risks alienating his players
with his current set-up.
‘This is a
talented Manchester United squad but they should be going toe-to-toe with
Chelsea, not setting up to try to get a draw,’ Redknapp wrote in his column for
the Daily Mail.
‘In the first half, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford were
playing as extra defenders in a back six. It’s too defensive and the players
aren’t able to express themselves.
‘Why is
Mourinho leaving out players like Mkhitaryan and persisting with Marouane Fellaini?
Is Mkhitaryan injured, or does Jose just not fancy him? Fellaini seems so
difficult to play with and it’s affecting Pogba’s game.
‘There will be questions in the dressing room over Jose’s
tactics and I worry that the atmosphere could become toxic.
‘People
are saying that the players have to adapt to Jose’s style but I disagree. He
must change to suit the traditions of a club that produced the most exciting
team of the last 20 years.’
