Jose Mourinho is still very special to me, according to Manchester United midfielder, Scott McTominay.
Jose was sacked after three seasons at the club and was replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is presently struggling to make an impact too.
Even if Mourinho has been told he left the club weaker than he met it, Scott is still thankful to Mou for giving him his major senior break.
His words, “Jose is very special to me. He still keeps in contact with me now and keeps in touch after some games.
“He’ll always have a special place in mine and my family’s heart because he’s the one who brought you in, he was the one who trusted you, he was the one who had belief in you.
“I owe a tremendous amount of credit to him because if it wasn’t for him I might not necessarily be sitting in this seat.”
He praised other coaches that haebeen influential in his career, “I wouldn’t be at this football club if it wasn’t for Paul McGuiness, Dave Bushall, Tony Whelan and people like that who show an absolutely ridiculous amount of patience with somebody who can’t even play an U18 game because he’s growing, his legs are stretching and he’s got no co-ordination.
“Yeah they need to be patient. Off the pitch as well they have to be patient with you as well. There’s a lot of different things with school and in your education and your digs you’re staying in.
“Dave Bushall had to change my digs like three or four times because my mum at home wasn’t happy or whatever. It’s amazing the level of work they go to, to ensure that every family and every player is happy. It’s incredible and a real credit to the academy and the staff here as well.”
