Jose Mourinho: Premier League ‘most defensive yet’

Mourinho is now the Premier League’s style counsel

Yet, United’s manager believes the free-flowing style his team showed on Saturday is likely to become an increasing rarity in the Premier League and should be enjoyed while it lasts, citing the lack of English managers — and therefore more commitment to defensive play — across the top flight.

Currently, the Premier League only has four English-born managers: Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche, Mark Hughes, and Sam Allardyce.
