Mourinho tells CB pairing to wake up or be replaced by Lindelof
The former Benfica man cost €35 million, and is being called to start by certain fans, with both Eric Bailly and Phil Jones making mistakes in the Red Devils’ 2-2 with Stoke, which interrupted the Mancunian side’s momentum.
Lindelof joined in summer, but has yet to feature prominently despite being chased for a long time.
Recent reports from Manchester indicated that Phil Jones was seen by the Special One as a “John Terry”, but these latest comments are a challenge to step it up.
Bailly was bought at great expense last summer, the Red Devils spending €38 million for the Ivorian star.
‘Victor is a very good player with very good potential,’ Mourinho said as the Red Devils
‘And honestly, I think there are reasons for the other boys, Eric and Jones, to be worried.’
