Ramon Calderon: Mourinho blames the world for EVERYTHING
Man Utd News - Sadio Mane makes transfer admission
Liverpool midfielder Sadio Mane has revealed he snubbed a move to Old Trafford in 2016 as he didn’t feel that United was the right club for him.
"Some teams wanted me – Manchester (United), the wrong team wanted me,” the Senegal international told Super Sport. "Of course, I spoke with Van Gaal, and they even made an offer.
"But for me it was not the right club, it was not the right moment. To feel this - the right moment, the right coach, the right club."
Man Utd News - Jose Mourinho slammed by former Real Madrid chief
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has claimed Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is obsessed with ruining his legacy.
“Undeniably his track record speaks for itself, it’s the one of a winner and a very successful coach,” Calderon told talkSPORT. “And because of that he could have had the football world at his feet, in my opinion.
“But it appears he’s obsessed with staining it with so many controversies and problems. And then he blames the world for everything when he loses. It’s a pity.
“His track record is very, very difficult to get and it’s something he is now staining continuously.
It appears he’s obsessed with staining it with so many controversies and problems
“I remember the great Alfredo Di Stefano [the Real Madrid legend, former player and coach], he used to tell me that a great coach could never complain about referees, injuries, bad luck or any other circumstance – that was reserves for the mediocres.
“That was very self-explanatory about what a great coach must do. It’s clear that Mourinho is having many problems, even I’m sure among his followers.
“Maybe they don’t understand what he’s doing or what he’s saying. And on top of that – the results.
“When you win, everything can be acceptable. But when you’re losing, and when you’re coaching a team so great as United, then fans can be disappointed and at the start of the season with only three points out of nine – that can be a problem.
“I don’t know what the owners think about that, but of course they must be worried.”

Man Utd News - Alexis Sanchez and Fred transfer claim
Manchester United only signed Alexis Sanchez and Fred because their rivals Manchester City were interested in them, according to Sky Blues fan Noel Gallagher.
“City have bought incredibly well. Even the squad players are amazing,” the former Oasis star told talkSPORT. “United have just gone for expensive players.
“They went after Sanchez because City were after him, they went after Fred because City were after him, they went after [Paul] Pogba because everyone else was after him.
“There doesn’t seem to be any plan there where they are buying players for the future. That is the big difference.
“Nobody was after Bernardo Silva, nobody was after [Leroy] Sane – people laughed when we bought Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker.”
