Redknapp on Man Utd manager ​Mourinho: His reputation rests on Europa final

Published on: 18 May 2017

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho risks losing his reputation if his side are defeated by Ajax in the Europa League final, says Jamie Redknapp.

Following United's goalless draw against Southampton, the Sky Sports pundit said that despite spending huge amounts of money in the summer, it was a hugely disappointing season for United.

"It's been a majorly disappointing season in the league," he said. "When you look at the United team and Jose says he is struggling for players, that team cost about £260m, I would want a lot more.

"I am sure the Man Utd fans would want more - more excitement and more attacking football. Watching United is hard work at the moment, it was hard at the weekend [against Tottenham] and hard work again today.

"It's tough to feel sorry for him, I think his reputation rests on next Wednesday.

"If they lose it's been a massively disappointing season. They are 25 points behind Chelsea, they are no better than last season, they look pedestrian at times, and there is no excitement."
