Mourinho was a success at Man United, they haven't won a trophy since he left.
Mourinho was right to freeze Pogba out, Pogba is too ill-disciplined to play a central role in a truly great team.
The fact that he integrated Scott McTominay means Mourinho has got a stellar record with youth, and you cannot criticize him for that anymore. Also, he gave McTominay a made-up award, so there's that.
Mourinho never sold Salah - Conte did.
Also, Mourinho never wanted to get rid of Lukaku and de Bruyne, they just wanted to leave because of concerns for playtime. How was he supposed to know they would get unhappy without playtime? Anyway, Chelsea won the PL + League Cup double this year, so getting rid of two players who, right now, are probably in the top 5 of footballers worldwide was totally worth it.
Mourinho rotated Martial and Rashford on the left flank because he said none could be trusted to be No.9, and time has proven him right on that one.
Mourinho's tactics aren't outdated, modern players are just too daft to understand them.
Mourinho doesn't struggle in the third year, he just gets sacked before he has the chance to do very well. So far, in his only completed third seasons, he won FA Cup + League Cup double with Chelsea and only a 90th minute equalizer prevented him from winning Copa del Rey with Real.
All his former players actually love Mourinho, among them Fabregas and Hazard, the latter of which said he would like to be reunited with Mou one day.
Mourinho's method of improving players and keeping them on their toes by simply freezing them out for a full year while refusing to sell them is brilliant and totally cost-effective.
