Marouane Fellaini Says Manchester United Were Too Quick to Sack Jose Mourinho

Former Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has said that the Red Devils were too quick to dismiss Jose Mourinho as manager of the club.

Fellaini told John Cross of the Mirror that the 56-year-old was not given enough time to build a new team at Old Trafford.

"Mourinho, for the first season, he did amazingly, he improved the team, won things. OK, the second season, was a bit more difficult but he tried, you know, and did his best to help the team. Then they decided to sack him and that's football.
