Why does Mourinho hate Man Utd's young players so much?

There's plenty of young talent at Old Trafford, but instead of nurturing it the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss seems hell-bent on destroying it

“There are certain things I cannot get from them,” Jose Mourinho said about his players after Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

It’s been a familiar gripe from the Portuguese throughout his Manchester United tenure, despite being in charge for five transfer windows.

But while he can follow that up with excuses concerning the board’s co-operation with him, there is another way the manager can bolster his squad – and it is one he is very familiar with.
