Rio Ferdinand has admitted he was wrong about Jose Mourinho's comments back in 2019 as the former defender reflected on Manchester United 's current decline.
It was confirmed the Red Devils would finish with their lowest-ever Premier League points total following a demoralising 4-0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. United can now only finish on 61 points if they beat Crystal Palace on the final day - three fewer than their previous lowest in 2013/14.
Mourinho received plenty of criticism during his time in charge, and after leaving the club he claimed his second-place finish was the best achievement of his career to date despite winning the Champions League and Premier League on multiple occasions. Speaking after his dismissal, the 59-year-old told beIN Sports in 2019 it was "one of the best jobs of my career" because of issues "behind the scenes" that people were not aware of.
