Mourinho says Man Utd still have players & staff he warned weren't good enough
Jose Mourinho has revealed several players and staff he told Manchester United couldn't succeed there remain at the club even now.
The Portuguese was in charge at Old Trafford between the summer of 2016 and December 2018.
He led United to success in the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League during his first season, before a second-place Premier League finish behind Manchester City in his second campaign.
But his tenure unravelled in his third season following poor results and a rift with high-profile players including Paul Pogba.
Mourinho took aim at United's stagnation on and off the pitch by expressing surprise at how little has changed now Erik ten Hag is manager.
'There are still people in that club, and when I say people I mean some players but also some other people that are not players, that are still there when I told [United] after two months: With these people, you are never going to do it [be successful]. And they are still there,' he told John Obi Mikel's Obi One podcast.
In the playing squad, only Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay remain from Mourinho's first season referenced.
The club's unpopular American owners, the Glazer family, remain in situ although petrochemicals billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is poised to take control of football operations after his £1.25billion buy-out of 25 per cent of the club.
United failed to win a single piece of silverware in the six years between 2017 under Mourinho and the Carabao Cup triumph of Ten Hag's side earlier this year.
They did achieve a second-placed finish under Solskjaer in 2020-21, the same season they lost to Villarreal in the Europa League final.
Mourinho also took them to the FA Cup final in 2018 but they lost 1-0 to his old club
