Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has praised Luke Shaw’s comments about reuniting with Mauricio Pochettino, saying the defender was just being honest.
Writing in the epilogue of Guillem Balague’s new book, Brave New World: Inside Pochettino’s Spurs, Shaw spoke glowingly about his former manager and said he would be keen on working under the Argentine once again.
Shaw had the most successful season of his career under Pochettino at St. Mary’s before he left to join United and Mourinho was very understanding of his comments, describing them as the “perfect words”.
When asked whether Shaw has any future at the club, he responded: “Why not? If you want to speak about his words – I would be very disappointed if his words were different. For me, they are the perfect words. I’m always disappointed when a player has a new manager, the new manager becomes the best and the old manager becomes very bad.”
He said, ” Football is full of examples of lack of character, Luke Shaw was just honest. The manager that helped him to come to the first team, the manager who brought him to the best point of his career.”
