Former Manchester United technical analyst Max Reckers admits Louis van Gaal and his team could sense the shadow of Jose Mourinho last season.
Reckers admits the same situation involving Mourinho happened before with David Moyes.
“It's always the case that those things can happen," Reckers told the Daily Mail at Soccerex Global Convention in Manchester.
“You have to be realistic in the football world.
“The time before we were that name, so our shadow was over [Moyes]. It's all OK, it's in the past. You have to live with the consequences."
