The FC crew try to make sense of Jose Mourinho's criticism of his players after Manchester United's FA Cup win over Brighton. The guys respond to your tweets about Lukaku's role at Man United, Mourinho's treatment of Luke Shaw and more about United's season. Jose Mourinho criticized all but Nemanja Matic in his side for their lacklustre performance, in United's 2-0 FA Cup win over Brighton and Hove Albion. The FC panel react to Jose Mourinho saying Manchester United lack football heritage while pointing out his own failures at Old Trafford.
How things can change. It was only a two months ago that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said: "I don't see many left-backs better than this Luke Shaw."
Now, after hauling Shaw off at half-time of the club's win over Brighton in the FA Cup this weekend, Mourinho went back on the offensive.
"I had to change one of them [his full-backs] and I chose Luke because at least Antonio [Valencia] defensively was capable of some good positionings," he said. "Luke in the first half every time they went in his corridor, the cross was coming and a dangerous situation was coming. So I was not happy with the performance."
Mourinho and Shaw have had an interesting history, as you can see below.
But is there a future at the club for Shaw now? Mourinho seems to make him a public scapegoat each time and sources have told ESPN FC that the defender is one of a host of players who may move on this summer in an overhaul at Man United.
Patience from both manager and player may have run out.
