Your support makes all the difference.Victor Lindelof admits he misses Jose Mourinho as the one-year anniversary of his Manchester United exit approaches.
The Swede concedes he owes the Portuguese a great deal after being signed by him in a £31m deal in 2017.
Mourinho is still waiting to accept an offer in a coaching capacity and is currently working as a television pundit, with Lindelof yearning for his return to the game.
“He is, after all, one of the world’s best coaches and he is supposed to have a job at one of the biggest clubs. I miss him in football,” Lindelof told Aftonbladet.
“He’s a great coach and a great person, whom I owe a great deal. It was he who gave me the chance here, who brought me into everything.
“I have all the respect in the world for him and appreciate everything he has said and done for me, from scolding to a hug.
“Even if I did not agree, at the time…he has very great charisma, you had great respect for him. He’s won everything. When he says something, you listen.”
