Jose Mourinho commented that he felt that his first nine months as the manager of Manchester United had dispelled notions that the club had employed a “monster”, BBC reported on Saturday.
Speaking ahead of United’s clash against Bournemouth, Mourinho said there was a misconception of him in the public eye that he was a “bad guy”.
“I think Manchester United learned I am not the monster that you say I am, I’m not such a bad guy, an arrogant guy, a difficult person to work with, at least until now nobody at the training ground runs away when I arrive,” Mourinho said.
“So I think I am better than you think. People are quite happy to have me around and to work with me. The relation with the players is very good, and with my owners and my board the relation I don’t think is just professional, it’s also a relation of trust and a relation that goes further than the contract, the manager, the owner, the board, so I’m happy. My feeling is everyone is happy,” he added.
