Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has referred to himself as the 'Worst One' after criticism from footballing 'Einsteins'

 
When asked if Saturday evening’s opponents Leicester City could replicate their title-winning performances of last season, Mourinho made light of the situation and referred back to his own title defence as Chelsea boss in 2006.

"Not many teams during the Premier League history they could do that," Mourinho said.
"One of the teams was, of course, Man United, another one was some team managed (by) the worst manager in the history of football, but it's really difficult."

The tongue-in-cheek comment came after United’s midweek EFL Cup victory over Northampton Town, where they ended a run of three straight losses.

Mourinho and his players have faced intense scrutiny from the media, who he labelled as 'Einsteins'.
The 53-year-old admitted he wanted to protect his players, but jokingly acknowledged that the “Einsteins” needed to live.

"I should protect them, I would love to protect them, and from you I can't. It is something that is completely out of my control,” he added.

"I think it's a feeling of frustration, but with me it's fine and with the Einsteins it's fine.

"The Einsteins need money to live. They can't coach, they can't sit on the bench, they can't win matches.”
