EPL: Schmeichel sends message to Ed Woodward over Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United future
Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel has instructed the Manchester United board to give Jose Mourinho ‘time and patience’.
He said that Mourinho can deliver the club a Premier League title.
United lost two of their first three league games this season, sparking speculation over Mourinho’s future with the club.
The former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss has a strained relationship with chief executive Ed Woodward and publically criticised the club’s transfer dealings over the summer.
But the Premier League title winner, insists Mourinho is capable of turning things around if Manchester United board is patient.
“He’s been at great clubs, Real Madrid, Inter Milan.” He told Sky Sports.
“He won the Champions League with Porto and Three Premier League titles with Chelsea.
“He’s done so many great things in football. But Manchester United is a different level to anything. The scrutiny, the traditions and the history that we have.
“This is in the equation every day. Every single day, we respect our history. We have very proud traditions.
“We finished runners-up last season from fifth the campaign before. We’re straight into the Champions League this year, we won the Europa League and we’ve been in two FA Cup finals.
“This is great. Yes we strive for more, but these are very positive things.
“When we give him time and patience, when we understand this is a period in which we have to develop, we can win the Premier League.” He said.
