"Miserable Jose Mourinho must quit complaining, start improving Manchester United"

That is precisely wrong.

"The preseason is very bad, the positive thing of the preseason is only for the young boys that have a fantastic opportunity to train with us."

"Everything is really bad."

That is precisely how he should be. 

...relentlessly sullen demeanour that has defined his time at Manchester United.

That is completely wrong by Alex Shaw of ESPNFC. Mourinho is a freaking choir boy compared to how he was at Chelsea, at Madrid, at Internazionale. Relentlessly angry, getting into spats with other managers, with the team physio (!), criticizing his players (Balotelli? "He has one brain cell."), that is who Jose Mourinho is, that is when he is at his best, and the problem at United has been that ditching his true self was made a condition of his employment as manager. "Not dignified." "Not worthy of Manchester United." United have not gotten Jose Mourinho's best work because they demanded he not be at his best. Let Mourinho be Mourinho!
