The drama has just began. New Man United boss Jose Mourinho is back at doing what he does best; trolling his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger. The rivalry between the two tacticians dates back to the years when Mourinho was still in charge of Chelsea.
At a time when many fans and pundits had expected to witness a timid, humbled and reformed manager at his first press conference for the Red Devils, the 54-year-old proved that he is still the same person, and the only difference was the change of club. Asked whether he had a point to prove after a disappointing 2015/16 season, this was his reply:
“Some managers – the last time they won a title was 10 years ago (Arsene Wenger). Some of them – never. The last time I won a title was a year ago. So if I have a lot to prove, imagine the others. The reality is it was never important for me. I play against myself. I have to prove not to the others but to myself – that’s my nature. I would never be able to work without success. I have to always find the reasons why I have as many questions towards myself and the people working with me – that’s my nature. I could approach this job in a defensive point of view by saying ‘the last three years the best we did was fourth and an FA Cup’. I could go into that side but I can’t.''
