Jose Mourinho sends message to Ruben Amorim after Man United sack

Jose Mourinho has had his say on Ruben Amorim's Man United dismissal.

Man United made the decision to sack Amorim, 40, after 14 months on Monday (January 5), with Darren Fletcher taking over on an interim basis.

Mourinho, 62, currently at Benfica took the Man United job back in May 2016 but only lasted until December 2018.

He was asked by the Portuguese press to "analyse" why Amorim was sacked at Man United, to which he responded: "What happened with Ruben is something that only Ruben can analyse.

“I believe he will do it, he and his staff. Whether he will do it with you and make his view public, that I do not know."

Asked if Amorim's sacking would have a negative effect on the job prospects of other Portuguese managers, he said: "I do not understand why it would, but each coach will answer for himself. For me, no, I do not feel it that way."
