There has been plenty of attention on how Jose Mourinho’s time ended at Chelsea ahead of his return to Stamford Bridge today as the manager of Manchester United.
But the more interesting comparison is how Mourinho is bringing some of the attributes of his first great Chelsea team to this current United side.
I played against the Chelsea team who won the Premier League in 2005 and 2006 and they were aggressive and physically imposing.
At Everton, we used to say before kick-off we’d try to ‘beat up’ the opposition metaphorically, roll them over at Goodison.
