Manchester United’s rout at Brighton (0-4) was yet another shock in a very busy season at Old Trafford. Invited to comment on the current situation of the former club, Rio Ferdinand retreated to 2019 and to a phrase used by José Mourinho.
“I apologize to Mourinho. He was right with what he said in 2019. Admittedly, he didn’t handle some situations well, but looking back now, he was completely right.”
At issue is the following reflection made by José Mourinho in 2019, a year after being sacked by Manchester United: «If I tell you that one of my best jobs was to be in second place with Manchester United in the Premier League, you will think that I’m crazy. However, they don’t know what goes on behind the scenes.”
It is recalled that José Mourinho won Manchester United’s last trophies: the Europa League and the League Cup, both in 2017.
