Jose Mourinho Aims Subtle Dig at Manchester United with Interesting Trophy Claim

• Mourinho seemed to suggest that it should not be that difficult to win trophies at Manchester United
• The 59-year old is in elated mood after the recent success at the Europa Conference League with AS Roma
• For Manchester United, it is now five years and counting without a trophy, with the last piece of silverware coming under Mourinho

Jose Mourinho could not help himself as he aimed a subtle dig at his former club Manchester United following AS Roma’s triumph in the Europa Conference League.

Manchester United remain trophy-less five years in, with their last taste of silverware being in the Mourinho era, when the Portuguese guided the club to Europa League success.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, who succeeded Mourinho at Old Trafford, have both been unsuccessful in their bid to bring back the glory days back to the club.

According to Mourinho, winning titles should come naturally for any manager of Manchester United.

"As you know I have won European competitions with four different clubs.” Mourinho stated as quoted by The Sun.

"Winning with Manchester United even though it was a Manchester United side that lacked the quality of proper United sides, winning with Manchester United is almost natural."

Interestingly, Mourinho also seemed to success that his other European successes - A Champions League with FC Porto and Inter Milan, held more weight that the Europa League success with Manchester United.

"Winning the Champions League with Porto is not normal. Bringing joy to people winning the Champions League with Inter.

"Inter is naturally a huge club, but I think it was 50 years since they had won the Champions League and bringing joy to the fans.”

Mourinho also recently confirmed that he would remain as the Roma boss next season, saying he felt part of the club.

Meanwhile, United appointed former Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag as their new manager, with the Dutchman having an uphill task of restoring the club’s status as a giant of England.
