Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has praised the Premier League for embracing the madness unlike other leagues.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said England is the only place where Leicester City's Premier League title miracle could occur, accusing the continent's bigger clubs of perceiving themselves as "the Mother Teresa of football."
Leicester came from nowhere last season, having narrowly avoided relegation in 2014-15, to win the title over Mourinho's Chelsea – which started the campaign as champion and only managed a 10th place finish with the Portuguese manager sacked in the process.
Now, Mourinho is preparing to face off with Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri – ironically the last counterpart he faced in the Premier League when he was in charge of Chelsea prior to his departure in December – as United boss in Sunday's Community Shield and he claims the Italian's triumph could not have happened in Germany's Bundesliga, Spain's La Liga or Italy's Serie A where the big teams actively weaken their title challengers in the transfer market.
