Is a Man Utd chief driving Mourinho away?

Is a Man Utd chief driving Mourinho away?

There are many reasons why Jose Mourinho has hinted at moving to PSG, but one of them is Manchester United chief Ed Woodward, who is apparently the reason why the Red Devils Coach has yet to have talks with the Mancunians about a possible extension.

Speaking to Telefoot at the weekend, the Special One said that he would one day like to Coach the Parisian side, prompting speculation that the

Portuguese two-time Champions League winner would be leaving the Old Trafford sooner rather than later.


According to Duncan Castles, who is close to the Portuguese gaffer, one of the reasons is Woodward, accused of trying to slow down or even contradict Mourinho’s transfer policies. According to Castles:

The Portuguese coach has complained of what he perceives as unnecessarily bureaucratic and inefficient organisation at Old Trafford and United ‘s Carrington training base.

A hesitancy over implementing recruitment decisions and an unwillingness to match the funding deployed by key domestic and Champions League rivals rank among other points of conflict.
