Garth Crooks aims dig at Man United boss Jose Mourinho over treatment of Chelsea star
JOSE MOURINHO missed a trick by overlooking Victor Moses at Chelsea, according to Garth Crooks.
Garth Crooks hails Chelsea's Victor Moses
Victor Moses has become one of Antonio Conte's first names on the team sheet after the Italian switched to a 3-4-3 formation at the start of last month.
The Nigeria international failed to break into the Chelsea XI during Jose Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge.
The now Manchester United boss, who lost 4-0 against his former club last month, sent Moses out on loan three times to Stoke, Liverpool and West Ham.

But the 25-year-old, who has been converted into a right wing-back this season, is enjoying life under Blues boss Conte.
Moses scored Chelsea's second in the 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday to extend the Blues' winning streak to seven and retain their spot at the top of the table.
And former Spurs star Garth Crooks has praised Moses' impressive form this season.
"It was a monumental victory for Chelsea on Saturday," Crooks told BBC Sport.

"Believe me, as a former Spurs player, I take no comfort in saying this, but Chelsea are starting to play like champions.
"It's as though the same players who downed tools under ex-manager Jose Mourinho's leadership are the same ones who appear to be sticking two fingers up to him now.
"One of those players is Victor Moses, who the Portuguese totally disregarded during his second spell at the club and who is playing out of his skin at the moment."
