Roma manager Mourinho: I was accused of bullying at Man Utd

Roma manager Jose Mourinho was accused of bullying a player at Manchester United.

That is according to the man himself, with Mourinho discussing his time at the Old Trafford club.

The Portuguese did win the Europa League and League Cup with the Red Devils.

"When I was at Manchester United, I changed a player at half-time," said Mourinho on The Obi One Podcast.

"I made a change and was accused of bullying."

He then added on the time he did similar to Nemanja Matic at Chelsea, adding: "He (Matic) was on the bench. I put him on minute 45, I take him off around minute 70.

“That's education, that's coaching. That's doing anything to win. I had to (make the) change. I laugh about these times but it's different times (now).

"Even to be a dad, you have to be a different dad to how your dad was to you. You have to change according to the world."
