Ron Atkinson is not a fan of Jose Mourinho's siege mentality and says he cannot adopt it at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho must not adopt a siege mentality at Manchester United if he is to be successful at Old Trafford, according to Ron Atkinson.
After winning his first four competitive games as United manager, Mourinho has seen his team lose three matches in eight days - including a 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City.
The Portuguese was critical of referee Michael Oliver following United's 3-1 loss at Watford.
But Atkinson - who led United two FA Cup successes in 1983 and 1985 - does not believe an us-against-the-world approach will work for Mourinho.
