Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists David Moyes doesn't need his sympathy over his problems at Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson won 28 major trophies during his 26-year reign, which meant his successor was always going to face a tough task.

However, Mourinho feels Moyes should not be pitied and told the London Evening Standard: "The point is not sympathy or talk about the incredible task he inherited in replacing Sir Alex. I think David has a fantastic situation.

"He is in a special club with a special philosophy and a special understanding of what is the importance of the manager, a fantastic understanding of the time a manager needs to give his best and to transform his squad and to make his team."
