Jose Morinho in control of all Manchester United affairs

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is
investigating all aspects of first-team affairs
after being dismayed by the culture he has
inherited at the club.

Mourinho is reportedly unhappy with United's
medical department . But, having succeeded Louis van Gaal in the summer, it is understood Mourinho has found the general culture at United falling short of his expectations.

Mourinho has won 23 trophies in spells at Porto,
Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
The Portuguese publicly questioned defender
Luke Shaw, 21, and Chris Smalling, 26, for
missing Sunday's 3-1 win at Swansea with
injuries, telling the media: "For the team, you
have to do anything."



BBC Sport understands Mourinho, 53, is looking
at every area in his remit, including travel, pre-
season tour planning, fitness, sports science and
the general make-up of his squad.

At the start of the season, the former Chelsea
manager predicted United would compete for
the Premier League title this season.
However, Sunday's victory over second-bottom
Swansea was only their second win in their past
eight Premier League games. They are in sixth
place - eight points off leaders Liverpool.
In addition, Thursday's 2-1 defeat at
Fenerbahce left them outside the qualification
places in their Europa League group.
United have reached the last eight of the EFL
Cup but Mourinho remains unhappy at various
aspects of club life.

He also recently described living alone in a
Manchester hotel and being pursued by
photographers as a "bit of a disaster".


Mourinho railed in public during a shambolic
pre-season tour of China, when the planned
match in Beijing against Manchester City was
scrapped on the day of the game due to the
dire nature of the pitch.

He brought his own fitness specialist, Carlos
Lalin, into United's medical department as part
of his backroom team, when he succeeded Van
Gaal in the summer.

In addition, star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who
has been involved in every game since his
arrival from Paris St-Germain, has been allowed
to continue using his own physio, Dario Fort.
Now Mourinho is looking at the fitness regime as
a whole.

So far this season, Mourinho has lost 10 players
for a combined total of 30 matches, whereas in
his first 11 Premier League matches with
Chelsea last season, Mourinho was without six
players for a total of 17 weeks.

The lack of appearances from Henrikh
Mkhitaryan, for whom United paid Borussia
Dortmund £26.3m, has dismayed some
supporters, as has the United manager's
decision to make Germany midfielder Bastian
Schweinsteiger train on his own until the
beginning of last week.

On Wednesday, Professional Footballers'
Association chief Gordon Taylor said he was
"disappointed" with Mourinho's public criticism
of Shaw and Smalling.
