Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has voiced his concerns over Manchester United’s decision to sack hundreds of staff members following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover of the club.
Ratcliffe, who now controls 27.7% of Manchester United and oversees football operations, has reportedly implemented major structural changes, leading to widespread job cuts.
Mourinho’s Take on the Situation
Speaking in an interview with Fitmob, Mourinho—who managed United between 2016 and 2018, winning the Europa League and League Cup—shared his thoughts on the unfolding situation.
💬 “To be honest, I don’t know much about what’s happening. I know Sir Jim Ratcliffe. I’m not saying we are big friends, but we have a good relationship.
💬 “I know him well. He invited me to his house a couple of times. I see him as a good person and a great businessman.”
Although Mourinho did not go into details about the club’s internal restructuring, his comments suggest a level of confidence in Ratcliffe’s leadership despite the concerns over job losses.
United’s Ongoing Overhaul
United’s latest decision comes amid a major rebuild under Ratcliffe, who aims to streamline operations and improve the club’s competitiveness both on and off the pitch.
Fans and football analysts continue to watch closely as Manchester United navigates this transition under new leadership. 🚨
