He said that he has been following the team for quite some time and he knows that the manager was not given the financial backing that he wanted during the transfer window.

Indeed Jose Mourinho submitted a list of players to the Manchester United board and he fails to secure any of the defenders on the list. The Portuguese manager knew that he had some problem at the back and wanted to address those issues by signing some players but he was not given the money required to achieve that.

Cristian Chivu said that Jose Mourinho is a really good manager and he is really good when it comes to tactics. He believes that Manchester United should invest in some new players and make sure that Mourinho is given the players he wants in order to compete for the title.

He believes that Mourinho is the right man for the job and he could be the person that bring back the glory days at Manchester United. He wants fans to remain behind the manager and gives him the support he needs.
