Mourinho slams united players for being too relaxed against st etienne
A classic Jose Mourinho outburst!
According to reports, Jose Mourinho has criticized his Manchester United players for being too relaxed during their 1-0 defeat to St Etienne in the Europa League on Thursday.
Mourinho was quoted as saying: "I think the players were too relaxed, too comfortable. They thought it was going to be easy, and that's not the way to play football. You have to be focused, you have to be concentrated, you have to be ready to fight for every ball."
He also expressed his disappointment with the team's performance, stating: "We didn't play well, we didn't create enough, we didn't have enough intensity. We were too slow, too passive, too relaxed."
Mourinho's comments are likely to spark a reaction from the players, who have been under pressure to perform following a disappointing start to the season. The Portuguese manager is known for his high standards and intense training methods, and his criticism is likely to motivate the players to improve their performance.
It's worth noting that United's defeat to St Etienne was their first loss in the Europa League this season, and they will need to regroup and refocus if they are to progress to the next round.
