Manchester United
superfan Eamonn Holmes has branded Jose Mourinho ‘a vampire’ and has
accused the manager of ‘sucking the life’ out of his beloved club.
It was a shambles of a game for United – their defence was chaos, there was no organisation across the field and their players lacked discipline or guile of any sort.
Mourinho refused to lay the blame on his players following the defeat, but pundits and the press have been more brutal in their analysis – with the United squad being hammered for their collectively poor performance.
But Holmes – the talkRADIO host and Old Trafford regular – insists the players aren’t to blame for Man United’s dreadful start to the new season, their manager is.
Speaking on Monday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the TV hero said: “Brighton won it and deserved it – Chris Hughton is a great advert for what a manager should be.
“The trouble we have at Manchester United is we have got a manager who sucks the life and sucks the confidence out of the players. It’s his way or no way.
“You see this whether you’re a teacher, a bank manager, a television presenter, you get this strata of management that they know better, that they know exactly what goes on and it’s not left to you to shine in any way as an employee.
“He doesn’t let those players express themselves!
“You can’t tell me Luke Shaw is a bad player, Anthony Martial is a bad player, Eric Bailly is a bad player – although he was yesterday – these guys are really good, they just have no confidence to actually express themselves – that’s Mourinho.
“I say it more in sorrow than in anger. I mean, what do I know about football, he’s Jose morunhio and he’s won more trophies than anyone else.
“But he’s dull to watch, he doesn’t play in the United way.
“We were rubbish against Brighton, we were rubbish against Leicester as well last week and we were rubbish all tour this summer. Things haven’t got any better!
“He has sucked the life and the confidence out of those players.
