Chelsea icon, Marcel Desailly, has told the management of Manchester United and their fans not to consider sacking manager, Jose Mourinho.
He said the United boss is shaping the squad to his own taste after the team were beaten 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to fall eight points behind leaders Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
In his first outing at Old Trafford, the Portuguese delivered EFL Cup and Europa League glory.
But Manchester City’s fine form this season has left United trailing in their wake in 2017-18.
Desailly told Omnisport, “He has to stay as Mourinho. He knows the capacity of his team.
“He looks like he’s not really had the team he wanted, like when you compare with [Pep] Guardiola, who really chose every player he wanted in and out. Mourinho, he’s still dealing with some players that he didn’t really want in his system.
“He’s doing well, so I hope United will shine like they were shining at the time with [Alex] Ferguson.
“But it’s tough. Every time, every game, there’s big history on the shoulders of all the players and on the manager. So, let’s give him time.”
