Jose Mourinho seems to sound the death knell of Man Utd's transfer policy with Liverpool and Man City

Jose Mourinho used rivals Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp to complain apparently of not being supported by Manchester United leaders.

The Portuguese was sacked last December after overseeing the worst start for United in the Premier League.

His acting replacement, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has managed to win his seven games as manager until now, including a 2 to 1 victory over Brighton.

But Mourinho, who spent nearly £ 400 million on new players during his stay at United, still seems upset by the way he was sacked midway through his third season at the club, which seems to imply that he was not born in the match. transfer market.

Although Mourinho insisted that he was speaking "hypotecally", he quoted Guardiola from Man City and Klopp from Liverpool as explaining why it is essential for football club owners to let managers sign the tickets. names of the players of their choice to organize a serious challenge.

"Speaking hypothetically as a nursery, sometimes you do the first phase, then the second phase," said Mourinho, speaking to beIN Sports.

"Sometimes, when you think you're building a solid future, sometimes you're not doing anything because you're away.

"If you're talking about football itself, it's more complicated for me because, as a manager, I do not focus solely on football itself.

"I have to focus on what also needs to be prepared for the future. And I think that the future must begin to be prepared with principles. For me, it's more important than the football you watch and you bring principles. It's a little more complex.

"But you have for instance the case of Manchester City. In the first season [Pep] Guardiola was not a champion and it was really difficult.

"People were waiting for a Manchester City winner. They were champions with Mancini. they were champions with Pellegrini. Some of the players there were already twice champions, like the Agueros and the Kompany – many of them.

"And during the second season, Pep made a great decision, but big decisions were taken care of.

"I give you as an example, he did not want [Pablo] Zabaleta and he did not want [Bacary] Sagna at the back. And he did not want [Alexander] Kolorov and he did not want [Gael] Clichy

"In the same summer, he sold four backs and had four backs. He had [Kyle] Walker, Danilo, [Bernard] Mendy and, I think it was, [Fabian] Delph. He was born.

"We see him today with Liverpool. How many of these players were in Liverpool before Jurgen [Klopp] arrival?

"Not Alisson. No Van Dijk. No Robertson. No Salah. No mane. No Fabinho. No Keita. It's an in-depth job.

"It's not just leadership in a club or football that you need. That's all.

"If you are a manager, you have the opportunity to choose the players with whom you want to follow your idea of ​​football.

"Or it's [to get the players] follow the idea that you think it's better to win a competition, it's a thing

"Another thing is if you can not do that."
