Ferguson backs Mourinho; says he is calm and in control


Amid tantrums and touchline bans, Manchester United's most successful club manager Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his confidence in the way Mourinho is "currently" running his team.

Fergie told BBC Sport, "I think Jose is finding solutions now,"
"There was a period earlier in the season when he wasn't getting the decisions and his emotions boiled over.

"You see him now - he is calm and in control. That is the obvious observation I am making of the team now. The team is mirroring its manager.

"On Saturday at Stoke, they played to the last kick of the ball. They never gave in and got their reward to take something from the game with that great Wayne Rooney goal.

"And did you see what he did? Ran to the halfway line. No celebration. Pointed to the ball as if to say 'get it, we are going to win this'. That is exactly the spirit Jose has created.
