Jose Mourinho backed to be more successful at Tottenham than Man Utd for one key reason
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho will be more successful at Spurs than during his period in charge of Manchester United, according to Manchester United legend Shaun Goater, as he has better quality players at his disposal.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has a better squad at Spurs than he had at Manchester United, according to Shaun Goater. That means he’s more likely to succeed in the Premier League, and has a higher chance of winning silverware.

“Tottenham, in most games, don't need manager, because if the players get along and they play to their abilities, they should win,” Goater told Express Sport.
“I think he had the excuse to say ‘well the United players didn’t have the same quality as the Tottenham players’, but the Tottenham players are quality players that can challenge.
“I'm prepared to give him the time to see, but I'm expecting the team to be more offensive.
“The players are good enough to produce offensive, quality football.”

Goater admitted that he used to really enjoy watching Mourinho’s teams play.
But, his period at United was defined by defensive, and largely boring, unattractive football.
But, Mourinho appears to have changed during his year-long absence from management, and he may have learned from his mistakes, said the City legend.
Ultimately, his success at Spurs could be determined by whether he adopts a more attacking stance than his time at Old Trafford.
