The Red Devils got back to the right track on sunday with a 2-0 win over Burnley,and the veteran midfielder feels that their coach is doing his best to cope with the pressure..
Manchester Unitrd manager Jose Mourinho has helped to ease the burden upon his big name players through his defiant attitude towards his critics,according to Matic.
The Red Devils have force to endured with a mixed start to the season,with defeats to Brighton and Tottenham back to back,but returned to winning ways over the weekend with a 2-0 win over Burnley.
Mourinho has faced a robust criticism over his side's form in recent weeks especially their attack which is not sharp enough in front of goal
However Matic, who previously won the Premier League under Mourinho at Chelsea, believes that the 55-year-old’s outspoken defence of his achievements has helped lift pressure off the squad by diverting the limelight away from them.
“He knows what he is doing, for sure,” the Serbia international told MUTV. “It’s good for us. He is one of the best managers in the world, you know what he won in his career so that shows you everything.”
“I think he is dealing very well with the pressure. That is why he is here in Manchester United. I don’t see any difference.”
Following United’s defeat to Spurs – their second in a row – Mourinho had called for “respect” from his critics in listing the contents of his trophy cabinet.
Following a transfer window that saw the club fail to complete what he saw as key business, the former Inter and Real Madrid manager roundly criticised executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, though his stance had softened enough to offer his support following victory at Burnley
With four games gone, United lie in 10th, well off the mark of league leaders Liverpool and champions Manchester City, but Matic is not unduly worried about their title chances slipping away in the first two months of the season.
“They all have to win all of their games,” the 30-year-old added, addressing their rivals for the Premier League trophy. “I think that's not possible. Someone has to lose and drop the points.
“It's still too early to say something. We will see in March where we are, because in March you can see who is fighting for the title, who is not and who is fighting for the top four, so it's still too early.”
Manchester united still have a strong test to face ahead as they where draw against Juventus and Valencia in their Champion league Group stages..
