Mourinho full of praise for Solskjaer after Man Utd revival

Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for reviving Manchester United since replacing him.

Mourinho was impressed by how Solskjaer's side overturned a 2-0 deficit at Paris Saint-Germain, the night after Erik ten Hag's Ajax stunned Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabeu.

Mourinho said: “If the responsibility in the bad days is for the manager, then the responsibility of the good days are also for the manager.

“The Ajax and Man United results are phenomenal results.

“Credit to them. For United, there's the mental side and self-belief."

Mourinho, 56, has been linked to PSG and Real and says he plans to be managing again in three months' time.

Speaking on Russia Today, he added: “I hope to be working in the summer, I hope to be working happily in the next pre-season — June or July."
