I knew Jose Mourinho’s failure at Manchester United was not normal. Manchester United chief Ed Woodward reveals how he refused his proposal to buy players. Jose Mourinho took over from Luiz Van Gal in the summer of 20016 after he failed to perform up to expectation. Jose Mourinho picked up two cups in his first season at Manchester United(Europa cup, and League cup). The following season, he finished 2nd on the table in the premier league.

This was when he wanted to buy more players. Ed Woodward who blocked his proposal said he was disappointed at the lack of progress after spending almost 400 million euros. Mourinho’s plan to sign a central defense and other players became dashed, and he was aggrieved at the support from the recruitment experts.
Jose had a series of misunderstandings with the recruitment experts. They disagreed with him a lot. There was different in opinion and sometimes, I have to say no, which isn’t easy because our natural tendency is to back the manager in every possible circumstance, but we have to listen to the recruitment experts too, said Ed Woodward.

I knew then that Jose wanted to sign Toby Alderweireld, and Maguire of Tottenham, Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin, and Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng, but he wasn’t given the necessary support and he missed out on those wonderful players. Manchester United had to pay 80 million Euro this summer for Maguire he bid for before he was sacked.
After Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, the best manager Manchester United has provided was Jose Mourinho. I have the list here.

Checking the list above, Jose Mourinho is the best of all. If he was allowed to buy the players of his choice, he wouldn’t have any problem managing his squad. Manchester United sold players I will never sell. Chicharito, Danny Welbeck, Di maria, NO chance, said Jose Mourinho.

It is clear that his style wasn’t in congruency with that of Ed Woodward and the recruitment experts. He was thought to have blocked some of Woodward’s preferred transfers as well, saying they are not fit to pick a shirt in his team. Jose wanted to buy players from Tottenham, but he wasn’t allowed. He knew how powerful the team was, and he planned to pick some valuable players to his advantage. All this misunderstanding led to his sacking.

Now that Jose has taken over the mantle at Tottenham, we would see what would happen. Then I can say much about Ed Woodward. Thanks for reading.
