Mikel doesn't think Mourinho has lost his touch

Many critics around Europe have had the audacity of claiming that Jose Mourinho has lost his touch as the winning manager that he is. It all started during his period at Real Madrid when he wasn't able to win a single trophy in 2013 and got into numerous internal problems with some of his most important players. Then he moved to Chelsea where at first, he proved to be back in full swing with a new Premier League trophy under his belt. But something happened after that season, something broke with the players. 

The constant internal problems got him fired from his position, but now a year later he landed a new job with Manchester United, where he hasn't exactly been delivering good reports to his superiors in the club. This is where the claims about him losing his touch come from, but according to John Obi Mikel, all these claims are a complete farce as he told the Evening Standard that: "I have no doubts, Mourinho has not lost any of his magic, not at all. When people start to question his qualities, he loves to prove a point, he thrives on it. He always wants to show people are wrong.

"I think he will bring Manchester United back to where Sir Alex Ferguson left them [as title winners in 2013] but he needs time. He is like an architect, he likes to build. Jose does not always win the title in the first season, just look at Real Madrid or his second spell at Chelsea. Yes, he wants to win from the get-go but in the first year he gets to know how the club work, installs his formation and the way he wants the team to play. I am not writing United off this season either but give him two to three years and he will definitely win big trophies at Old Trafford."
