Mourinho: I wish Arnold was my CEO at Man Utd

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has sung the praises of former Manchester United chief exec Richard Arnold.

Arnold resigned from United last month.

"They still have a CEO who is an amazing person, who I would love to have had during my time there, that's Richard Arnold, who is probably now leaving," Mourinho told the Obi One podcast.

"I had him as a Commercial Director, not a CEO, and I would love to have had him on my side in my time there, but the club wasn't easy. I don't have regrets because I gave everything.

"The Man United fans know I gave everything, they know how much I love the club. I went there once with Sky, I was in the box giving my comments and the whole stadium turned to me applauding and singing for me.

"If that happens when I go to Inter, Real Madrid, Porto or Chelsea you say it's because of everything we won.

"But when you go to Man United, a club with that history, and they do that for a coach who only won a Europa League, League Cup, Charity Shield and finished second, you arrive at the conclusion that they know I gave everything I could."
