​Mourinho: After Busby and Sir Alex, I feel like nobody at Man Utd

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he feels like a nobody in comparison to club legends like Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby.

The Portuguese manager, who took charge of the club last summer, led them to their debut Europa League success on Wednesday.

Mourinho told former club captain Rio Ferdinand in a BT Sport documentary, 'Old Trafford Uncovered: "In this club it makes me feel that I did nothing.

"Especially because you have two legends – many of them, but two [Busby and Ferguson] are legends in terms of titles and trophies. I feel that I am nobody. I always have to prove.

"I just feel that what I did in this club is not enough to be deserve to be here (pointing to a wall with pictures of Ferguson and Busby). That's why I am there (pointing to a picture of himself on a wall on its own)."
