''I Didn't Care About It'' - Jose Mourinho Throws Manchester United Future Into Doubt With Bizarre Jorge Mendes Comments

''I Didn't Care About It'' - Jose Mourinho Throws Manchester United Future Into Doubt With Bizarre Jorge Mendes Comments
18:53, 11 Dec 2018

Jose Mourinho is no stranger to attracting the headlines when it comes to pre-match press conferences and the Portuguese Manager has done it again ahead of the Champiojns League game against Valencia.

The Red Devils are in Spain for the Champions League match on Wednesday night but attention in the pre-game chat with the media quickly turned to the statement released by the former Chelsea manager's agent.

Jorge Mendes hit the headlines last week by releasing a statement affirming Mourinho's commitment to United in a move itself which seemed odd at the time.

Jose is very happy at the club and the club is very happy with him. He has a long-term contract with Manchester United and is fully committed to the club in building a solid winning project.

Mendes is known as one of the most powerful agents in the world but it apparently didn't tell his client he was going to be speaking to the media...

When asked about it before the Valencia match, Mourinho claimed he had absolutely no knowledge that the statement as going to be made on his behalf by Mendes...

No. I have nothing to do with the statement. It's Jorge's statement, it's not my statement. I didn't know at all and I didn't care about it

The plot thickens!

First of all the agent comes out to assure fans of Mourinho's commitment to the Man United squad and then his client refuses to say he knew it was going to happen. It has already been a  tough season at Old Trafford but the conflicting reports continue and the future of The Special One is clearly still going to be a hot topic over coming days and weeks.
