Manchester United Legend Paul Scholes criticized Jose Mourinho’s style of football, sighting that the Portuguese manager lacks the ability to produce an entertaining brand of football, according to report.

He told BT Sport: "They're in a position where they've brought a manager in to ultimately win the league. For four years the club hasn't really been in a position to determine how they win it.

"We'd all like to see brilliant attacking football - waves after waves of attack - but I don't think this team is capable of that.

"That's not the way this manager does it. His first and foremost a defensive coach. He wants to set up in a way that will stop the other team playing and winning games. He's doing that.

"We have to accept his style of football, as many clubs have done. He's very successful at doing it.

"United have to challenge for the league, over the last four years they haven't, and this season they've won a lot of games.

"OK, it's not been brilliant football but I'm just happy they're winning games."

However, Scholes, 42, has urged supporters to back the Portuguese's tactics - even if it means cheering on defensive performances.

"After four years there comes a point where philosophies have to go out the window.

"It's all about winning and challenging for the title. Maybe that's why he doesn't stay around at clubs for so long.

"He comes and changes the way they play, tries to win a game is not the most exciting way but he does win. That's what United need now.

"After that, clubs may become a bit greedy and they want a new style, more of a Barcelona or Real Madrid and it never seems to come. That's possibly why he doesn't stay around for so long."

Since Mourinho's arrival to Manchester United in 2016, he has won the EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and the Europa Cup for the Old Trafford giants.
