Gary Neville predicts players to leave Manchester United after Jose Mourinho outburst

Mourinho launched a thinly-veiled attack on Martial and Rashford

Jose Mourinho has “had enough” of some of Manchester United’s stars and will let them go in the summer, according to former captain Gary Neville.

The Portuguese berated his players in the aftermath of the 1-0 defeat away to Brighton and Hove Albion on Friday night, taking passing shots specifically at Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

The pair were selected to replace Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, both of whom are injured, but failed to impress, leading Mourinho told go on an ‘I told you so’ rant to the assembled media, who he believes have criticised him for not starting the pair more often.

“For many months you are always asking me why this player doesn't play, why that player doesn't play, why this player is on the bench, why always Lukaku?” he said. “You should be disappointed more than me because probably I know my players better than you, and probably you don't know them so well to be always with these questions.

“It was a difference in the desire to fight for the targets. They had one target, to get the points and celebrate their Premier League survival.”

And Neville was not much softer with his criticism of how United handled the game, suggesting, as reported in The Independent last month, that a number of players have lost Mourinho’s trust and are heading for the exit door.

“That [Mourinho's post-match] interview signalled the final straw for him with some of the players and the trust that you need with players are gone,” Neville told Sky Sports. “And I'm trying to think of the word that you would use to describe that performance. Woeful? Awful? It was a shocker. From first minute to last minute.

“I never thought at half-time that Manchester United would come out in the second half and repeat the first-half performance, but they did.

“When you can't get your message into your players from a manager, then the manager has to go or the players have to go. At this moment in time, Manchester United are not going to lose Jose Mourinho, so he's going to make some big changes in that dressing room.

“It was so bad. So bad. I haven't got words for it to be honest with you. I said during commentary that I felt that any player who wondered why he wasn't playing in the cup final, just show that video.

'They've got no excuse. They've got no excuse. It wasn't the fact that they played bad, it was their attitude it was terrible, just awful.”
