Ex-Man Utd defender McGrath: Mourinho Chelsea future in jeopardy

Former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath feels Jose Mourinho's job at Chelsea is on the line.

McGrath believes Chelsea need to win the Premier League title for Mourinho to be sure of his future.

He wrote in the Sunday World: "Mourinho has created a siege mentality in his team and that sense of entitlement is not attractive, with his antics on the touchline goading the fourth official another side of his game that is hard to admire.

"We all knew what we were getting with Mourinho when he returned to Chelsea and, while he vowed to tone down his behaviour in his second stint at the club, a leopard never changes his spots.

"So long as Mourinho wins the Premier League crown in May - which I expect him to do, by the way - his Champions League demise this week will be quickly forgotten.

"He doesn't need me to tell him what might happen if he blows the title now."
