Manchester United's tumultuous season has been marred by poor performances, and it seems that former manager Jose Mourinho is not surprised by the team's struggles.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho, 56, revealed that he believed he deserved to be sacked last December, following a string of disappointing results.
'Obviously the third season was not good enough. I was sacked, I probably deserved to be sacked because I was responsible as the manager,' he said.
However, Mourinho expressed his disappointment at the current state of the team, stating that they are worse off than when he left.
'But the sad reality is that they are worse than before. And for me that is a sad thing. Maybe people think I’m enjoying the situation but I’m not enjoying it at all,' he added.
United are yet to record a win in the Premier League on the road, leaving caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under immense pressure.
