EPL: Cantona blasts Mourinho over Man United’s tactics

Manchester United legend, Eric Cantona has slammed manager, Jose Mourinho’s tactics at Old Trafford.

He said that he likes Mourinho but admitted that the Portuguese is not just good for the Red Devils.

Canton said that he can restore United’s attacking style of football if he was to replace Mourinho.

Mourinho joined the Theatre of Dreams in 2016 and has since won the Europa League and EFL Cup.

“I like Mourinho. He has a good personality but not for United – they should have [Pep] Guardiola as coach,” Cantona told the Mail on Sunday.

“He should be there, but he is doing magic with that other club. The club I cannot name.

“It is early in the season… too early to tell. Manchester United is a great club and will always be great.

“They will win things, I know they will. But the way they play? Not good. The manager has them playing the wrong way for the fans. No fun, no creativity.

“I would like to coach and if they called me I would go. I would enjoy it. They know where I am. Then we would play creative football again.

“It would be great for the fans, like it was with Alex Ferguson – he allowed players to be creative, treated them as individuals. All felt loved. He was always praising. A good man, a good leader.”
