Mourinho says strikers have thrived with him as managerPaul Merson believes tactics could force Kane to leaveJosé Mourinho has denied his playing style will force Harry Kane to leave
Tottenham. The manager responded to criticism from Paul Merson by defending Kane’s performance after six months out with a hamstring injury in the 1-1 draw with
Manchester United and pointing out forwards such as Didier Drogba,
Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahmovic had excellent goalscoring thanks to his coaching.
“I feel a bit strange at some analysis and some comments, especially as it looks for me at the beginning of some comments and analysis have started from Paul,” Mourinho said. “Because I respect him a lot, I want to be nice in my answer. I don’t think he’s ready for a bad answer so I try to be nice and say something that people can think a little bit.
