Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, has said that his
Manchester United counterpart, David Moyes, is not
under pressure and that the Old Trafford chiefs still
trust him to bring success to the club.
The Red Devils’ 2-1 defeat to Swansea in the FA
Cup, was their fifth home defeat of this campaign
and they have slumped to seventh place in the
league, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Mourinho welcomes Moyes and his team this
Sunday and insisted that the pressure Moyes is
supposedly under, is completely made up by the
media.
“I don’t think David is under pressure,” the
Portuguese told London Evening Standard. “The
pressure is something virtual. It is something that
comes from the media as a consequence of not
having the best results.
“The most important
thing in all of this is not
the pressure that comes
from the outside, it’s the
reality of the inside. My
feeling, which is based
on years of
communicating with Sir
Alex and some inside
information, is Man
United are not happy, but
they are calm. They trust
David. David trusts them.
“Are the players blaming
the manager and thinking
‘I am safe’? No. The
players don’t feel that.
They feel all together on
this. The manager is
calm and they are
thinking this is our
manager for the next
two-three-four-five
years. So they’re all
together and are going to
rebuild again a big team.
“The bad results will
finish. They will get back
on track, probably too
late to win the league
because they’re too
many points behind the
leader.
“The gap is difficult to recover but David has a
fantastic job. He’s in probably unique conditions to
be stable and to do his work well and achieve
success sooner rather than later.
