'Keep quiet, Jose!' - Eriksson advises Mourinho to swallow his pride and focus on results

The Red Devils boss' recent outburst can only do more harm than good, according to the veteran coach

For England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson had advised Jose Mourinho to avoid taking on the press in the wake of the Manchester United manager's recent outburst in which he demanded respect.

Mourinho's side have endured a rough start to the 2018-19 Premier League campaign, edging Leicester City 2-1 in their opener before falling to defeats against Brighton and Tottenham.

Alleged unrest between the manager and the club's board over transfer activity has been a hot topic, while a reported relationship breakdown with players – most notably with Paul Pogba – has also been heavily debated in recent weeks.
