Former Man United striker Michael Owen shared his damning opinion on Mourinho, highlighting the failure of his big-name signings.
Owen said on BT Sport: “What’s the difference between Manchester United at the moment and what they’ve been for the last three or four years? They have been bang average.
“The only thing is, Mourinho has bought more and more players.
“He’s bought the best player in the Premier League for the last three or four years in [Alexis] Sanchez. Forget whether he played today or not, he’s been bang average for so many games now for Manchester United.
“Look at [Paul] Pogba, he’s winning World Cups and the best player for Juventus, now he’s very average for Manchester United.
“Every player that Jose Mourinho has, any attacking player, plays equally as well or worse. He doesn’t improve anybody from an attacking point of view.
“Defenders, yeah, because he’s a defensive manager, but the team is going nowhere at the moment and it hasn’t for four or five years.”
Owen's bang on.
Few can argue that Mourinho's trio of marquee attacking signings - Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku - have progressed under his tutelage.
