Difference between Jose Morinho and Arsen Wenger explained

Manchester Evening News, an online news platform promoting Manchester United football club has explained the major difference between Manchester United manager, Jose Morinho and the manager of Arsenal Fc, Arsen Wenger using the recently concluded transfer of Alex Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as case study.

Hear them:

Arsene Wenger is friendlier than Jose Mourinho .

That revelation from the recently departed Henrikh Mkhitaryan is one that Manchester United fans - and indeed most football fans - won't have needed.

But it is a neat reminder not just of the difference between the mentality of the two managers, but of the different standards and ambitions being demanded at the two clubs themselves.

Mourinho is a winner. He is building a team of winners. It is one of the reasons why he pursued Alexis Sanchez this January, and why he was willing to let Mkhitaryan go to get the deal done.

The Armenian said: "Mourinho required a lot from the players. A lot, he was very hard. Arsene Wenger is friendlier, he understands, can think about players' situations, is calmer."

Mourinho's demands have dragged United back onto an upward trajectory. He won two trophies last season and returned United to the Champions League.

Mkhitaryan's comments are the latest evidence that his hard demands for top level consistency are not how every footballer likes to work.

But there is evidence from multiple clubs and countries that they do deliver titles at the highest tier of the game.

Wenger has delivered the FA Cup three times in the last four years but his last Premier League triumph came in 2004 and he has not seriously challenged for another in more than a decade.


Arsenal's best players have increasingly searched for medals elsewhere.

Sanchez is merely the latest example.

He has spoken again this weekend about his motivations for moving to Old Trafford. His answer is littered with the word winning.

And it stands in stark contrast to Mkhitaryan's desire for friendliness and understanding.

Mourinho's treatment of his players has been criticised in many quarters, but the reasons behind them are listed in bold print on his CV. It's why he was given the United job after his two predecessors failed so miserably.

At his press conference ahead of Newcastle, Mourinho gave one of his longest-ever answers in defending Paul Pogba after the re-opening of the debate about his best position. But it was Mourinho who benched his £89m man against Huddersfield last week after one poor performance against Spurs when the vast majority of his teammates didn't turn up.

Hard demands.


Luke Shaw's United career looked over as recently as last November. The quote about 'his body, my brain' looked to be the defining moment of the pair's relationship.

But the defender is now set to be offered a new long-term contract, after overcoming injury and impressing coaches anew with improved attitude and application on the training ground.

He has proved he can thrive under Mourinho's tutelage.

Mkhitaryan's inconsistency throughout his 18 months at United meant he was always in danger of falling by the wayside, unable to keep pace with Mourinho on the path to delivering a first Premier League trophy to United since Sir Alex Ferguson.

For that is Mourinho's aim.

Wenger's aim looks to be achieving a top four finish. Again.

But he is calm and understanding.
