Mourinho’s rant opens the door for Man Utd youngsters to step up

Jose Mourinho’s second meltdown in the space of a few days has highlighted just how much work he still has to do to get his Manchester United squad where he wants it to be.

The Old Trafford boss accused many of his stars of lacking the class, desire and personality to be United players despite beating Brighton to book a place in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday.

Mourinho’s latest outburst came just a day after his 12-minute rant about the club’s ‘heritage’ and leaves question marks hanging over the futures of numerous players.

It will be a big surprise if the likes of Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and others survive at the club beyond the summer as Mourinho strives to deliver silverware at Old Trafford.
