`EPL: Why Mourinho no longer instruct Manchester United players – Lee Sharpe

A former Manchester United midfielder, Lee Sharpe, has revealed that
manager, Jose Mourinho, no longer give his team any instructions in
the dressing room.
According to the former United star, the Portuguese now let the
players do their own thing on the pitch.
Manchester United, under Mourinho's watch, suffered a surprise 3-2
defeat to Brighton on Sunday.

The former Chelsea boss endured a frustrating transfer window as
executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward refused to break the bank for his
targets.

United's performance on the south coast against the Seagulls was far
from inspiring.

Sharpe, who made 193 league appearances for the Red Devils, fears
Mourinho could be losing the dressing room.

He said that Mourinho was still angry over the club's failure to get
the players he wanted and his approach to preparing his team has now
changed.

"Mourinho is on trial again," Sharpe told talkSPORT.

"He's never looked happy since he's been at the club.

"There just seems to be no plan at Man United. Nobody seems to know
where they should be going and what they should be doing.

"I've heard a little whisper to say the manager is not really giving
them a lot of instruction before games. He's just picking the team and
letting them get on with it.

"It seems to me that he hasn't got the players in that he wanted this
summer, and he's gone into a bit of a sulk. He's just let the players
crack on and do their own thing.

"When you're moping around, moaning about who you haven't been able to
sign and about the lack of players you have, instead of bigging up the
players you already have and filling them with confidence, I don't
think it's good for team morale."
