'After two months... goodbye!' - Mourinho aims coaching dig at Neville & Scholes

The Portuguese says you have to "be born with some talent" to be successful, with two of his critics having proved life in the dugout isn't easy

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has aimed a veiled dig at Gary Neville and Paul Scholes following their forgettable forays into coaching, with the Portuguese stating that you have to “be born with some talent” in order to succeed.

Two ex-Red Devils stars were often outspoken in their criticism of Mourinho during his time at Old Trafford.

Neville and Scholes have, however, highlighted how difficult management can be, with the former flopping at Valencia and the latter lasting a matter of weeks in a role at League Two outfit Oldham.
