Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has said that Jose Mourinho would have won Premier League titles had he managed Manchester City.

Drogba was an integral part of Chelsea’s Premier League wins in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons under Jose Mourinho.

He said that Mourinho is the right person to lead Manchester United.

Drogba said, “I think if you put him at Manchester City, he would have won the league twice, maybe two or three times. You get criticism because you set a standard of winning, winning and winning and now you’re not winning or having the same results.

He is still there. You have to look at all the managers who were at Manchester United the last few years. Being manager after Sir Alex Ferguson is not easy and the finances that they had then are not the same as what they have now.

People only pay attention to the best and he’s one of the best and that’s why he gets all of this. I think he’s taking the challenge, because it’s a big challenge and if people criticise you then how can you enjoy it? It’s tough. After all, he’s human.

He’s trying to change his approach and that’s what the best managers do and when things are not working you try to change it.”

Manchester United are currently 8th in the Premier League table with 20 points in 12 matches. They are 12 points behind leaders and rivals Manchester City.

The Red Devils resume their Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
