Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been talking to the media in the build-up to Sunday's EFL Cup final against Southampton. Aside from talking about the game itself, he has been explaining the Instagram post paying tribute to his friend Claudio Ranieri who was sacked by Leicester on Thursday.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has suggested players might have contributed to Claudio Ranieri's downfall.
"I am not inside. I have no right to try to find scenarios. I think it is Claudio's fault. If he had finished 12th last season, it would be amazing achievement but they would still be thinking about relegation and he would still be in a job.
"He is paying for his success. Probably the season started with typical selfishness of others. People thinking about new contracts, leaving, more money. It is a bit of our world. Some principles are going away a little bit. I had a similar experience [at Chelsea], but it was peanuts compared to Claudio."
"My little homage to somebody that wrote the most beautiful history in Premier League.
"He deserves the Leicester stadium to be named 'Claudio Ranieri Stadium'.
"The most beautiful thing in the Premier League and one of most beautiful in football history.
"Now Leicester are in the highlights again with a decision that has everyone in football united.
"It's very difficult to accept. It's important to realise how football is and we need to react. I was sacked as a champion [by Chelsea], a giant negative as I thought - peanuts compared to Claudio.
"I don't think he needs more. Nobody can do what he did. If some of the stories have just a little bit of truth, it is difficult to find words to justify but we have to be able to cope."
