Man Utd boss Ferguson: Mourinho’s right to shut it

Fergie said: “It’s probably a good thing for him he has said he will be less outspoken.

“He was getting himself in all sorts of difficulties and he is not stupid.

“He has realised that everything he tries is just for a reason and to suit himself.

“He has realised that everyone has cottoned on and are not stupid and what he says does not have the same impact.”
