Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho continues to "flounder" in his leadership of Manchester United, where his recent criticism of the players faced a negative reaction from the legends of the club as "offensive" to them.
After the disappointing draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday, Mourinho attacked his players: "The performance was not from the heart, you have to play with your mind as well as your heart," in reference to the lack of "fighting spirit" of the players, according to The Guardian.
Mourinho has faced a storm of criticism over his remarks about his players, especially as it is not the first time the veteran coach has blamed the players of the "Red Devils".
Mourinho has criticized some young players in the team, such as Luke Shaw, Anthony Marcial, Markus Rushford and Jesse Lingard, saying they are "immature".
"When Mourinho says he is attacking four or five young players in the team, what do you expect their reaction to be?" Said a senior Manchester United legend. "Do you expect to be your neighbor or against you?"
"I do not think it's the right behavior of a professional soccer coach," he said.
Manchester United are seventh in the Premier League, 14 points behind leaders Manchester City, with only six of their 13 games winning.
