SCHOLES’ DAMNING VERDICT ON JOSE NO MOUR
His mouth is out of control He’s embarrassing the club I’m surprised he’s survived
PAUL SCHOLES launched a scathing attack on Jose Mourinho, accusing him of “embarrassing” Manchester United with his big gob.
Scholes claimed Mourinho’s “mouth is out of control” because of his constant criticism of his players and the United board.
As United stuttered to a goalless draw against Valencia in front of subdued fans, Old Trafford legend Scholes also admitted he was surprised Mourinho avoided the sack for
Saturday’s shambolic 3-1 defeat at West Ham.
“I think it’s a bad situation,” said Scholes on a night when United produced another limp display.
“I’m slightly surprised that he survived after the weekend because the performance was that bad.
“The performance and attitude was just nowhere near.
“He’s coming out in press conferences and constantly having a go at the players, having a go at the people above him because he’s not got what he wanted.
“I think his mouth is out of control and I think he’s embarrassing the club.”
Former Old Trafford hero Brian Mcclair joined the assault on Mourinho by United’s old boys, claiming the team lacked desire.
“Coach, players, system, shape, tactics, b ****** s!!!” he said on Twitter.
“To win red team need to run harder and faster than the white team. I believe it’s occasionally referred to as desire!!”
United arrived late at Old Trafford because of heavy traffic and the kick-off was delayed five minutes.
