Jose Mourinho has labelled former club Chelsea an
embarrassment as he watches Manchester United waltz towards the
league title.
Mourinho was speaking ahead of his Inter side’s Champions League
visit to Old Trafford, where the Italian champions will hope to
capitalise on a 0-0 draw in The San Siro to progress to the quarter
finals.
The charismatic Portuguese is adamant that United are not as
good as people are making out, despite their seven-point lead in
the league, insisting that his team would be above
United’s if he was still managing in The Premier League.
Looking at the efforts of Arsenal, Liverpool and former club
Chelsea, Mourinho claims it is ‘embarrassing’ that nobody is making
a decent effort to stop United’s stroll to the title.
“Yes Manchester United are the best in England but you have to
ask how good has The Premier League been since I left?,” the former
Chelsea boss stated in The News of the World.
“United have won it with ease since I have gone because no
manager has put together a team that can rival them.
“They have a great squad but are their players really that much
better than Chelsea’s or Liverpool’s? I don’t think so. So
something else must be the problem and somebody has to take
responsibility for that.
“Chelsea have had no stability. Arsenal are nowhere and
Liverpool threatened but I don’t think anybody really thought they
were ever going to win it.
“I would not allow a team of mine to be so far behind. It is
embarrassing in early March.”
