Wayne Rooney Backs Manchester United's Jose Mourinho: He Knows How to Win Titles

Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has backed Jose Mourinho amid a tricky start to the 2018-19 Premier League season for the Red Devils.

United lost 3-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, and Mourinho has come under pressure. But Rooney, who recently joined MLS outfit D.C. United, believes the Portuguese manager still has the ability to mastermind a title push.

"They have the quality, they just have to keep pushing," Rooney said, per CNN Sport's Patrick Snell. Mourinho knows what he's doing and knows how to win titles.
