Henry Winter, who is a well-respected writer for 'The Times', was speaking with 'Sky Sports', after Manchester United lost the FA Cup final on Saturday. This defeat means that United end the season without a trophy, having crashed out of both the League Cup and the Champions League to Sevilla and Bristol City respectively.
According to Winter, United manager Jose Mourinho needs to change his management style. "It's all about responsibility - Mourinho has a responsibility to his players to improve his man-management," he said.
The journalist also criticised Jose's team selection, and said that he needs to be warmer with his players. "Why is Eric Bailly on the bench when he's a better centre-back than Phil Jones and Chris Smalling?" Winter questioned. "Why is Luke Shaw not getting an arm around him? He's a type of individual that needs support and responds to a Pep Guardiola or Sir Alex Ferguson - a more intelligent way of man-management. With Jose Mourinho it's tough love - a cold climate."
Winter called on Jose to look at other Premier League managers such as Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino. "One of Maurico Pochettino's greatest strengths is man-management; it's the same with Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp," he explained. "You saw Mourinho in the cup final when Marcus Rashford did a grubber-kick across the pitch after 10 minutes - he went absolutely spare."
"You have to treat young players like a father to a son - sometimes you need to criticise and educate. But ultimately you need to give them love - and Rashford needs love."
Oliver Holt, of the Daily Mirror, echoed Winter's thoughts. "Mourinho's handling of Rashford has been utterly strange," Holt said.
"Barney Ronay from 'The Guardian' posted a tweet saying he felt Rashford had been vandalised by Mourinho and that struck a chord with me. In the final Rashford was a shadow of the player when Mourinho arrived - I find that sad."
