Eladio Parames has launched an attack on Manchester United chief Ed Woodward after the dismissal of Jose Mourinho.
Parames is close to Mourinho and been a long time confidant.
"Here are two concrete examples of the fantastic work going on at Manchester United," Parames wrote for Record.
"If (Marouane) Fellaini, who was at the end of his contract, had been renewed in proper time, he would not cost half of what he costs today.
"Mister Ed (Woodward) made him the third best-paid player in the entire squad.
"And the same is happening with (David) De Gea, whose contract could already have been renewed a year or two ago.
"But now, as his deal is at the end, if they want to continue with him they will have to pay a fortune.
"What beautiful management this is."
