Phil Neville’s advice to Jose Mourinho is pretty terrible

That's terrible advice, Phil.

Jose Mourinho seems subdued, and has seemed so since he became Manchester United manager. It could be argued he hasn't had the same spark since returning to the Premier League in 2013, after his three years in Spain with Real Madrid, despite winning league title and the League Cup in that time. Maybe the malaise set in last season, before Chelsea's season went into meltdown and he left the club last December. It's difficult to tell when it happened, but it's clear Mourinho appears more forlorn these days. Living away from his family in Manchester obviously won't help his mood, but if United are to be successful again, Mourinho will need to rediscover the spark from the first half of his managerial career. However, he shouldn't follow Phil Neville's advice. The former United defender reckons that Mourinho needs to find "the real Jose" again, and to do so he must adopt a "siege mentality" like the one he had at Chelsea. You know, the "siege mentality" that led to him being sacked. "The supporters are not unhappy with Jose, but they are waiting for the real Jose to come out," Neville said on Sky Sports coverage of United's 1-0 win over Manchester City in the EFL Cup. Phil wasn't finished yet though.
