Jose Mourinho Goes Off About Spending in Press Conference Rant

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has passionately defended his methods during a press conference on Friday after the Red Devils limped out of the UEFA Champions League at home to Sevilla.

According to Mark Critchley of The Independent, the Portuguese coach said United's lack of quality investment over the years has affected the current success at Old Trafford, declaring his club has a lack of "football heritage."

In a sensational monologue that lasted over 12 minutes, Mourinho said:

"When I was 20, I was nobody in football, I was somebody's son, with a lot of pride, and now with 55, I am what I am, I did what I did because of work and because of talent and my mentality.
