Jose Mourinho: I didn’t get the same transfer backing as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, insists former Manchester United boss
Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp were afforded more luxuries than him in the Premier League.The Portuguese highlighted the support Guardiola and Klopp have received in the transfer market since taking over at Manchester City and Liverpool respectively.3

Jose Mourinho says he was not backed at Manchester United in the same way Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola were at Liverpool and Manchester City respectively

Mourinho appeared to struggle to secure his intended transfer targets in the summer at Old Trafford, but Guardiola and Klopp have not had that problem.Speaking on punditry stint on beIN Sports, he said: “For me it is more complicated as a manager as I don’t focus on the football itself, I have to focus also in what is to prepare the future.”“I think the future starts to be prepared with principles. That is more important than the football you watch and comment on. “It is more important the culture you bring to the club, the principles, so it is a bit more complex.“But you have the case of Manchester City. In the first season, Guardiola was not a champion, it was really difficult and people were expecting a winning Manchester City.3

Klopp has bolstered the Reds squad significantly since taking over

“They were coming already from winning period, champions with (Roberto) Mancini and (Manuel) Pellegrini. “Some of the players were already champions twice, (Sergio) Aguero and (Vincent) Kompany, and in the first to the second season Pep made great decisions, but great decisions that were supported.“For example, he didn’t want (Pablo) Zabaleta or (Bacary) Sagna, two right-backs, and he didn’t want (Aleksander) Kolarov or (Gael) Clichy.“In the same summer he sold four full-backs and got four full-backs. He got (Kyle) Walker, Danilo, (Benjamin) Mendy and another. He was supported.3

Guardiola’s spend on players during his managerial career exceeds 1billion

“In Liverpool, I think how many players were in Liverpool before Jurgen arrived?“No Alisson (Becker), no (Virgil) Van Dijk, no (Andrew) Robertson, no (Mohamed) Salah, no (Roberto) Firmino, no (Sadio) Mane, no Fabinho, no (Georginio) Wijnaldum, no (Naby) Keita, so this is work in depth.“So when I speak about leadership related to the structure of the club, it is not just leadership, it is everything, even the football ideas.“If you are manager (and) you have in your hands the possibility to choose the players you want to follow your football idea, or to follow the idea that you think is the best to win a certain competition, that is one thing.“Another thing is if you are (not) able to do this.”
