Has Jose Mourinho lost the plot? talkSPORT analyses five Manchester United players who have suffered since he became boss

Despite assembling the third-most expensive squad in footballing history, Jose Mourinho has ‘lost the plot’ and is turning great players into an average team.

That’s according to The Sun’s chief sports writer Dave Kidd, who claims Mourinho is now devoid of the spark he originally had when he burst onto the scene with his eccentric touchline celebration at Old Trafford in 2004.

The Portuguese has a playing squad worth a combined £660.8 million at his disposal, but has struggled to seriously trouble runaway leaders Manchester City, who sit a comfortable 16 points ahead of them.
