Jose Mourinho: We don’t have enough of this at Manchester United

The Manchester United boss reckons only captain Wayne Rooney, veteran Michael Carrick and right-back Antonio Valencia have enough experience of lifting silverware at Old Trafford.

United have only secured one major trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2013 retirement and while Jose Mourinho has bought players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba who have medals from other clubs, the Portuguese is worried most of his squad have not proved they have a winning mentality.

“It is something that of course we don’t have enough,” he said. “And the ones with a history of success where that belongs to their natural habitat: Rooney, Carrick, who else? Zlatan, but not in our club, Antonio Valencia and not much [else].

He added: “My history as a manager is made by 23 trophies. It is not made by second, fifth, lost a cup, lost the final. I am a legend in my clubs. I am a legend in Porto, in Inter, in Chelsea. I belong to their history, really high. I belong to Real Madrid’s history.

“Manchester United? I belong to the history because I have a picture in one room where all the managers are. I won a Community Shield and nothing else. The reality is history is made by the numbers.”
