"I'm a big fan of Mourinho – I don't care what anyone says. That guy knows how to win tournaments and win trophies.
"He wasn't good enough for Man United – he only won the Europa League and the [Carabao] Cup! Apparently, he was a disaster there – really? I would love to see him come in.
"He gets criticised for his negative play, but if Mourinho had that team he wouldn't be negative. Anyone can see that the defence needs to be fixed. Mourinho is solid defensively – that's for sure."
