Man Utd boss Mourinho: Chelsea players never lost their ability

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says Chelsea's success under Antonio Conte last season was no surprise.

When he was sacked the following season, he left behind a group of players who helped Conte take the Premier League back to west London last season.

Mourinho said: "The reality is that many of Chelsea's players have won two titles in three years.

“Only very good players can do that with a season in the middle which was really bad.

“But the majority (of Chelsea's players) have won two in three years."
