Gary Neville believes Mourinho will be a success at Manchester United

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has said that Jose Mourinho will be a success at Old Trafford despite the current poor form of the team.

Neville has described the Portuguese as the most successful manager in the last twenty years, along with Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

The Englishman also believes that this is Jose's biggest challenge as a coach. He has previously coached FC Porto, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and had two spells at Chelsea.

“This is the biggest task he’s ever had in his life in football and he’s got to come out of it," Neville said, Manchester Evening News reports.

This comment is coming after Jose Mourinho's men were beaten three goals to nothing by Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Monday night.

The defeat is United's second in three Premier League games. With that result, United are having their worst start to a league season since 1992.

Manchester United's next game will be against Burnley this weekend at Turf Moor.
