In spite of being one of the best trainers of the last decades and to win the praises of several players, José Mourinho also has left some negative anecdotes between some of the effective that have been under his orders.Such is the case of Anthony Martial, the one who coincided with him in the Manchester United, criticising him, between other things, for using the press conferences to leave him badly stopped, as it already occurred with other figures in the past.

In his statements, the Frenchman has indicated that the problems initiated after the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Old Trafford, that forced him to undo of his dorsal, the '9', that would happen to hands of the Swedish: "During the holidays, Mourinho sent me a message asking me if it wanted to remain me with the '11', explaining that it was genial, because it was the number of the legend Ryan Giggs".

In spite of the honour that supposes to dress a historical T-shirt in the United like the one of the Welsh, Martial denied . Even so, it finished being changed without his consent: "I answered Him that had a big respect by Giggs, but preferred remain you with my number, the '9'. When I went back to the pre-season saw that they had changed me the number without that I knew it, had turned me into the '11'. Mourinho was missing me the respect".

Likewise, it sustained that the arrival of Alexis Sánchez left him with very scarce options to see minutes of game in 2018, just the year in that it would contest the World-wide: "The second season was the maximum goleador of the team in the first part of the season, afterwards arrived Alexis and from here already almost did not play. Then I did not say at all, it was useless. It was the season of the Glass of the World and cost me expensive, especially because France won and I would have to have been there".

The 'darts' of Mourinho in front of the means

Regarding the press conferences of the luso, has indicated that his statements had by object do him remain bad and did not have options to issue a reply: "it was missing Me to the respect to the end. It spoke of me to the end in front of the press, frasecitas, a bit as it had done it with Karim Benzema in the Real Madrid. To him they like him these jueguecitos, but also knows with who plays it. It knows that had 20 then, that if I say something, I am the one who will go through the youngster that is missing the respect".
