Not really - his teams are dominant Chelsea, dominant Inter, Real Madrid, semi-dominant Chelsea and Man Utd!

His first Chelsea side were up against Arsenal’s invincibles. They fell away from the title as soon as he left and wouldn’t win it again until 2010. Real Madrid were up against Gurdiola’s Barcelona, how exactly where they dominant? He took Chelsea from 6th back to 1st on his return in a prem that included Pellegrini’s City and Rodgers Liverpool. He’s now attempting to do the same with United. I honestly don’t know why people go out their way to knock this guy’s achievements. Whether you like him as a manager or not there’s just not argument to be made that he’s a poor one.

Because his childish behaviour detracts from his achievements, I guess.

He’s had to invest big though like Silva. Imagine the United squad when he came, basically Van Gaal’s but he’d already sold off Di Maria. The front three was Rashford Lingard Martial, Rooney Fellaini Schneiderlin in midfield and then the likes of Rojo Jones Smalling at the back. Apart from De Gea it was an awful awful squad. He’s spent huge money to bring in Pogba Lukaku Matic Fred Bailly just to give the team a spine. He’d argue though it’s not enough, the same way Silva has had to buy Richarlison Zouma Digne just to get some decent players in some positions but basically to even stand still. Mourinho probably needs (but might not get) another window to add in a RB, Left winger and probably another centreback just to get a star 11 out (which is what City Chelsea and Liverpool have). To try and match the squad of City or Chelsea he probably needs longer but those two clubs have been recruiting well for years and years regardless of manager. Silva likewise probably needs big investment in January and the summer just to get an 11 he’s happy with then he might get to the point where one injury doesn’t mean you’re playing Calvert Lewin outwide or Niasse upfront.

I agree with you on Martial and Sanchez, I don’t know what’s happening there.

It doesn't really matter but what about Mata?
 
Just one for United, we have an uncanny ability of being the straw that breaks the camels back with under pressure managers getting sacked after they lose to us.
