Jose Mourinho has declared that Manchester United are no longer "expected to win trophies" ahead of Erik ten Hag's arrival at Old Trafford.
Mourinho was the last boss to bring silverware to Old Trafford, with United unable to build on the successful 2016/17 campaign they enjoyed under his Portuguese. The ex-Chelsea chief lifted the Community Shield, the Carabao Cup and the Europa League in his maiden season at United; Louis van Gaal (FA Cup) is the only other manager who has guided United to silverware since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down back in 2013.
Despite his stunning start in Manchester, things turned sour and Mourinho was axed after just two-and-a-half-years at the helm. Having been sacked from his next job at Tottenham, the 59-year-old has rebuilt his reputation with Roma and is preparing for the Europa Conference League final - the Italian outfit's first European final in 31 years. United, meanwhile, are still trying to find a formula for success and are set for a summer rebuild under Ten Hag.
