Mourinho: United's demand for immediate success is greater on me

Jose Mourinho hints on rebuilding Manchester United "it requires more than a sprinkle of salt and pepper."
 "United's demand for immediate success is greater on me and at Old Trafford than the Premier League rivals."

Mourinho insists he needs more time to change the psychology of those players who are not used to winning the vital games on a regular basis.



“In three months it is not so easy to change the most difficult thing which are personalities,” He said. “The style of play, even with mistakes, you can change here and there but at the psychological level it takes more time especially if you go against the nature of some of the personalities."

“When you don’t have a very experienced squad where everybody knows how to win, what is needed to win, that consistency level you must have to cope with the routine of victories, because that is difficult to cope with although it is easier than the routine of defeat, that’s the most difficult time of the process."

“We need time. It is always the same story. At some clubs and with some managers they have all the time they want. Some clubs get time but with others you demand immediate success of the clubs and the managers. That’s Manchester United and Jose Mourinho No problem."

The Portuguese manager also said that United is the latest in a long line of clubs in need of an overhual on his arrival.
 "I always went to clubs in a non-easy process,” he said. “I never went to a winning club with recent success where you can just introduce a bit of your salt and pepper and change the direction and the road to success was there. I always had difficult moments. Then I left Porto as European champions, I left Inter as European champions, I left Chelsea with two titles in three years and I left Real Madrid with three Champions League semi-finals and with a title and then I got this club in a hard situation but that’s a great job."

“It’s not the way I prefer, it’s just the way it is."

“It’s the way I arrived at the club without Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane or Bryan Robson. I arrived later with a very good group of players to work with but many of them are not the end product, they are not ready, ready, ready, and some of them like Michael [ Carrick are in a period where they are phenomenal but they are not in the group that is 24 or 25."

“It is a process but I don’t change a word from the first day – we want to win. At this club you must say that always and at this moment we still have four competitions to win. Let’s see out of the four what we win – four, three, two, one or nothing."

José mourinho insists that the united captain Wayne Rooney is "going nowhere"

"I know he's the type of player I need and I know he can play at the top level. I can’t make this kind of mental exercise and say what’s going to happen at 32, 33, 34 or 35.
 What I can say is that he’s a very good player, a very important player for us. He’s going nowhere. We like him, he likes us. he's not happy in the last matches because he was on the bench but I think he is even unhappier when he’s not on the bench because he’s been injured and has to stay in the stands. There are no problems at all."
