Jose Mourinho has responded to criticism from Gary Neville that he altered the image of Manchester United in his spell as manager.
The Portuguese boss was in charge at Old Trafford for two-and-a-half-years, which ended with him losing his job in December after reportedly losing the support of the dressing room.
United are known for promoting youngsters from the youth team and playing attacking football, both of which Mourinho failed to do during his time at the club, according to Neville.
“He doesn’t know my philosophy,” Mourinho said during his role as a pundit on beIN Sports.
“I would love to go to a club and to be in conditions to do what Jurgen [Klopp] and Pep [Guardiola] for example they did.
“You look at the team Liverpool started with today, how many players were there before Jurgen arrived? A couple.
“And when Pep was not happy with the four full-backs he had and in the same summer he bought four full-backs that he liked.
“And when he bought one goalkeeper like Claudio Bravo, and then he was not happy with Claudio Bravo, and the next season he bought Ederson.
“And when Jurgen is in the club and wins absolutely nothing for three years and he still has the trust and still has the confidence and he still has the conditions to try to keep going and going.
“Probably this season they have a big chance to do it, but it would be the first time they win a trophy.
“That’s why I was saying before, in my next job, I will not be starting a conversation with a club without knowing exactly what the club wants and what the club has to give in terms of structure and objectives.”
