Mourinho: Manchester United suffered after Ferguson

CAIRO – 10 September 2017: Jose Mourinho says Manchester United did not evolve with Louis van Gaal and David Moyes.

Moyes was sacked after 10 months of failure. Van Gaal took over the job but did not succeeded in returning Manchester to its former status, even though he won the FA Cup.

According to the Sunday Times, Mourinho, who won the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his first season at Old Trafford, said “there was an evolution in the other clubs; there was no evolution in this club. In all the areas that make a team successful, I think we stopped in time.”

“Today, we have better working conditions, a better medical department, a better analysis department, a better scouting department, a better media department, and in many cases we did it without changing the people, which is quite important," Mourinho added.

Mourinho was happy to get two players who had worked with him in Chelsea while he was the coach there.
"Lukaku was my player as a kid," the former Real Madrid boss said.

"He left [Chelsea] because he was thinking he deserves more opportunity, but he's such a good guy that during these years we were in close contact with a good relationship. So I knew he was an intelligent guy with a positive attitude," Mourinho continued.

On Matic, Mourinho added, "I cannot say that I had a better guy than him in my career."
