Jose Mourinho has accused Gary Neville of negativity over Scott McTominay at Manchester United.

Mourinho’s right-hand man Rui Faria to leave Man Utd and pursue a new challenge

Premier League
Rui Faria, Jose Mourinho’s long time assistant, has decided to leave Manchester United at the end of the campaign. Faria will end his 17-year association with the United boss next month in order to spend more time with his family.
