Roma coach Mourinho: I won the last three titles for Man Utd

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has enjoyed a dig at former club Manchester United.

The Portuguese was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after two-and-a-half years at the helm following what was then the club's worst start to a top-flight season since 1990.

Serial winner Mourinho, now in charge of Roma, did bring glory back to Old Trafford by winning three trophies - the Community Shield, the League Cup and the Europa League.

Silverware has not been seen since and Mourinho was quick to remind fans that he was the last manager to deliver success at the club, back in 2017.

When asked about his relationship with Roma attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan after the pair worked together at the Premier League giants, he told Sky Sports: "We won together three titles at Man United, unfortunately the last three titles of Man United.

"I say unfortunately because I like the club very, very much and I wish the club the best.

"We won three titles together so everything went well, in the second season was a little bit different."
