Former Manchester United Youth Star Criticizes Mourinho's Treatment of Young Players: Ansser Sadiq Speaks Out

Callum Gribbin, who made his breakthrough under Louis van Gaal in 2015, struggled to secure consistent first team opportunities under Mourinho's management.

“I used to think, ‘He’s not a***d, is he? He doesn’t even care about getting to know my name’," Gribbin told The Athletic. 

"I look back now and I know I shouldn’t have got p****d off about it. But at the time, it used to get to me that I’d go out for training and he wouldn’t even watch.

“He’d be speaking to his staff or on the phone and I used to think, ‘I’m here, I’m trying to get a chance and he’s not even interested’. If I did say something to anyone, he’d be looking at me like, ‘You can’t be having a go, you’re an 18-year-old training with the first team’.

"But in my head, I was thinking, ‘No, I want to get a chance here’. So there were a few issues with Mourinho and other staff. Little things, just building up.”
