Lukaku’s Defense for Mourinho in MU Preseason Tour

DBasia.news – Jose Mourinho showed his true color in the third season handling Manchester United. During the club preseason tour in the US, The Special One often complained about the squad.

The frustration was unstoppable considering the situation. Amid the demand to successfully get the trophy in 2018/2019 season, Man United had no ideal preparation with the accumulation: injury, key players on holiday after World Cup, and slow progress of club transfer.

So there it is, Mourinho the complainer. The climax was during the match of Man United 1-4 defeat from Liverpool in the friendly match. Mourinho said if he was a fan, he won’t give wasteful money by watching the match directly.

Public criticized the Spanish manager. Romelu Lukaku, Man United striker defended his coach and said that Mourinho showed the champion mentality that he has. Mourinho isn’t the kind of person who hides the fact for the sake of the media.

“When you lose, you get angry. When he is upset, he’s the type of person that you can really see it,” Lukaku said reported by Mirror.

“But that should be embraced because he is a manager and a coach that wants to win. If you can’t deal with that, don’t ask him questions because he shouldn’t hide his personality to give a good public image,” he insisted.

Lukaku also explained Mourinho’s other side when he handled anything outside of football.

“It is nice to play for him. I get to see a total different image of him where he’s really cool. We make jokes. He sends me good advice, or funny videos, some stuff like that. So he’s really a family guy. That’s how I know him,” Lukaku concluded.
