Manchester United vs Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has advised Manchester United fans to back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, ahead of their Premier League clash on Wednesday night.
The Portuguese manager was sacked by Red Devils in December 2018 and returns to Old Trafford tomorrow in the opposing dugout.
Meanwhile, his successor at United, Solskjaer is under pressure having won only four games in 14 games this season.
On Tuesday, while on press conference, Mourinho said;
“In relation to Solskjaer, he is the guy trying to win the game for United fans.
They’re not going to support me. One thing is a nice to reaction but during the game they’re going to support Solskjaer.
“That’s’ the nature of the game and the nature of a place with an incredible history and fans who understand clearly the passion of the club. They love the club, they love Solskjaer.
Again, if you want to speak about United as an opponent, let’s speak about them as an opponent.
About my history there, go to my office upstairs and I still have a couple of pictures of my Man United time and that’s it.
“These are things they can do this season too. They can win the Europa League, they’ve qualified for the knockout. Dhey can win the Carabao Cup as they are still in the competition.
“They can win the FA Cup, they’ve got Wolves in the first round.
Dey can achieve these targets. I did it, that’s how we did it in my time. We did it but they can also do it this season.
