Jose Mourinho claims some of his Manchester United players are not mentally strong enough to succeed at Old Trafford.
The United boss has been critical of Anthony Martial , Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling this season, and said some of his squad had been too “protected” under previous regimes.
“I didn’t know the players very well,” said Mourinho. “I didn’t know that some players need time to live with this (being a United player), because it must be part of your natural habitat.
“Play to win, responsibility to win, cope with the pressure to win. This is something that has to belong to your natural habitat. For some guys, it doesn’t.
“They also need that time to go out of their comfort zone or a zone where they are protected that we assume the objective is not to win - that also takes time.
