​Man Utd boss feels British managers not given proper credit

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been talking about the opportunities - or lack thereof - for British managers.

"If you manage big teams - Real Madrid, Inter, Barca, Bayern, Juve, Borussia Dortmund - you have targets. Obviously those targets are impossible for people like Tony Pulis, Alan Pardew, Mark Hughes, David Moyes.

"Tony got trophies everywhere. By trophies I mean not relegated with Stoke, West Brom, Crystal Palace. He has lots of trophies. He has reached his targets. Like Sam Allardyce - never relegated. You don't expect him to be the champion.

"English managers are not looked at like they should."
