Jose Mourinho proud of Man United's world record transfer fee for Paul Pogba

Newly-signed Manchester United player, Paul Pogba’s world
record transfer fee has raised not a few eyebrows but Jose Mourinho doesn’t
care whose ox is gored. The former Juventus player was reportedly snapped for
around $116 million surpassing the current transfer record of $112.2 million
Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale 3 years ago. The 23 year-old midfielder has flown into
Manchester for his medical and should be unveiled in the coming days.
The former Chelsea manager has however hailed his employers’ spectacular signing.
“No, I don’t think Real Madrid was upset when they broke
the record with Gareth Bale or when they broke the record with Cristiano Ronaldo,
I think that was a world record too. When other people break records, I don’t
think it’s a reason to be sad. I think it’s a reason to be proud with the
dimension of the club that can do that and can attract players of this
dimension.

“If you ask if I think it is a lot of money, I think
football is crazy, the market has become crazy. What you think this season is
crazy, you realise that three years later it’s not crazy any more. And I think
there are players that cost ten million that are super expensive because there
are players who are four hundred or five hundred thousand or one million. What
is expensive and what is not expensive in football, I don’t know any more. I
just know that he’s a big player that is going for sure to be important for a
big club like Man United. And I’m sure that every Man United fan around the
world will be proud to belong to such a big club.”

Jose Mourinho refuses to sign Chelsea shirt

Is it safe to conclude that Jose Mourinho is still harbouring ill feelings towards Chelsea? Recall Just less than eights months after leading Chelsea to their fourth Premier League title, the former Inter Milan boss was sacked as Chelsea manager after a poor start to the season. 

During Manchester United’s pre season tour in China, a legion of fans scrambled to get autographs from the new Reds boss at the Shanghai Stadium.
The Portuguese spotted a Chelsea shirt among the numerous kits presented to him but refused to sign it. He shook his head at the fan who presented it and then moved on. A United official then stepped in to move the supporter with the Blues shirt to the back of the queue. 

I hope Chelsea fans won’t take offence.

Can't remember any easy games with Mourinho – Rooney

Wayne Rooney has expressed his eagerness to work under Jose Mourinho- the new manager of Manchester United next season.The English skipper who is ready to prove his worth to the new boss also branded the ‘Special One’  a tactician and successful coach who will turn things around at Old Trafford.
He told  Manchester United magazine, “I’m really excited to be working with Jose this season as he’s one of the best managers in the world. It’s an exciting time for Manchester United. I’ve always respected him both as a man and a manager, he’s a nice guy and one of the most successful managers of all time. I like to think I’m always motivated as a player but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit more motivated when a new manager comes in. I’m sure all the lads will be happy to be working under Jose and also eager to impress.
“I’ve played against many Mourinho sides over the years and I can’t remember any easy games, so I think that says it all. His teams are always hard to beat, tactically disciplined and, most importantly, successful.
“He’ll bring all these qualities with him and I’m sure he’ll have his own ideas, but one of the biggest assets will be his experience. He’s managed a lot of successful teams throughout his career and all that experience will be vital.”

The simmering feud that won’t go away! Mourinho has launched a fresh attack at his old nemesis, Arsene Wenger during his first press conference as Manchester United.

Asked if he can bounce back after his Chelsea exit last December. Rather than give a direct answer, the Portuguese poked fun at the frenchman’s EPL trophyless run. “There are some managers, the last time they won a title was 10 years ago. For me, it was one year.” He said.

Case Settled! Chelsea apologise to Eva Carneiro

Former Chelsea doctor, Eva Carneiro has settled constructive dismissal claim against Jose Mourinho as Chelsea apologise unreservedly. The British doctor who reportedly 
rejected a £1.2m settlement from the club was relieved of her duties as the first-team doctor following ex Chelsea manager Mourinho’s disagreement with her decision to run onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard towards the end of the game.

Jose Mourinho’s presence at the court  believed to have helped secure the settlement. Chelsea have now released a statement apologising to Carneiro. 

The statement read: “Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Dr Carneiro which brings her employment tribunal proceedings against the club and Jose Mourinho to an end.”
“The club regrets the circumstances which led to Dr Carneiro leaving the club and apologises unreservedly to her and her family for the distress caused.”

“Dr Carneiro has always put the interests of the club’s players first. Dr Carneiro is a highly competent and professional sports doctor. She was a valued member of the club’s medical team and we wish her every success in her future career.
“Jose Mourinho also thanks Dr Carneiro for the excellent and dedicated support she provided as First Team Doctor and he wishes her a successful career.”

Ferdinand Welcomes Mourinho To The Biggest Club In The World

Rio Ferdinand has welcomed Jose Mourinho to “the biggest club in the world” following claims that the Portuguese completed his move to Old Trafford today.

He wrote on Facebook: “Congratulations to Jose on being announced manager of the biggest club in the world! This is Jose Mourinho’s most exciting & most challenging job yet.
“The first thing he needs to do is install ‘winning mentality’ back into the club. Get this ingredient back into the players but also the people that work inside the club day to day. Give them back that belief so it is breathing throughout the club again, which is so important. But doing the above in the Manchester United way is equally as important.
“I have heard many say the ‘Mourinho WAY’ is not the Manchester United style of playing football. However, the Chelsea team that Jose put together first time round when he entered the Premier League played with wingers and hurt teams with quick attacking play. They had the likes of [Arjen] Robben and [Damien] Duff on the wings who were direct and quick. This is a sign he knows how to get a team playing in a way Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing.”
He also addressed claims that the Portuguese would ditch club traditions.
“Another doubt I keep hearing and being asked is, will he keep in with the tradition of the club which is bringing through the young players? For the moment, I can’t answer this, only time will tell.
“One thing I can tell Manchester United fans is that they have got themselves a true winner in all aspects. His CV shows success!
“After his recent unsuccessful time at Chelsea in the final year, I can assure you this winner is now a wounded animal which makes him such a mouthwatering appointment. Jose went from winning the League cup &Premier League to losing a dressing room at Chelsea and I am certain he will want to restore all of that very quickly.
“He will be desperate to silence the media who have been writing and saying negative things about him (he will have stored it all being the competitor he is) and will be as focused as ever.
“Mourinho’s huge personality is made for this great club, it’s what he has been waiting for. Wishing him all the best!”

Chelsea are reportedly proving a stumbling block to Mourinho's Manchester United move

According to reports, Jose Mourinho’s move to Manchester United is experiencing a little delay because the Blues still own him. The Portuguese ceded control to his name allowing Chelsea to retain trademark to the name ‘Jose Mourinho’ even after leaving the club.  
Although he has agreed personal terms at Old Trafford, another thing delaying his announcement is conflict in sponsorship deals. The Special One has a sponsorship deal with Jaguar and the Red Devils sponsor is Chevrolet, so the board are trying to get him to switch cars.
