Rio Ferdinand has offered an apology to Jose Mourinho, and feels the former Manchester United boss has been vindicated over his thoughts on the club.
Mourinho’s time at Old Trafford came to an end in December 2018, with the former Chelsea boss paying the price for a poor start to the season that saw his side sitting sixth in the Premier League. The 59-year-old, though, remains the last manager to lift any silverware at United, having won the EFL Cup and Europa League during his spell in charge.
His final full season with United also saw him finish second behind Manchester City, achieving the club’s best finish in the league since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement. Speaking after his dismissal, Mourinho described the achievement as “one of the best” in his career, due to the issues at the club.
