'Coaches need protecting!' - Mourinho hits out at player power amid Pogba rift claims

The manager claims a different club structure is required at Man Utd from the days of Sir Alex Ferguson to handle the current generation of players

Jose Mourinho believes today's coaches need to have a club structure that will ease their burden in dealing with this current generation of players, who are different than their predecessors.

The Portuguese manager was sacked after two and a half seasons at Manchester United with the club floundering in their top-four challenge.

Mourinho’s tenure at Old Trafford saw him engage in public clashes with his charges, with the most notable involving Paul Pogba.
