Are you reading this Tanguy Ndombele?
Probably not. Although if you are hit me up on Insta bro my account is @TanguyFan87, and can you give my Soundcould a shout out too.
Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has been speaking about working with Jose Mourinho in glowing terms.
The Spaniard, now at PSG, admitted that Mourinho can be “a beast with people who aren’t honest”, as Paul Pogba found out at Old Trafford.
Ndombele has been hit the hardest by Jose’s temper so far at Spurs, having been publicly called out on two occasions by the gaffer, firstly for poor fitness and secondly a lack of effort.
Herrera never had such issues and in-fact enjoyed the best season of his five-year United career upon Mourinho’s arrival when he won the fans’ player of the season award in 2016-17.
The 30-year-old told Spanish outlet AS how grateful he is to Mourinho for his mentorship, and how to stay on Jose’s good side.
Herrera said: “I only feel gratitude to him. The first of the seasons was fantastic, with three titles and I was chosen by the fans as the best player of the season.
“He’s got personality yes but if you’re up-front with him, work hard, don’t hide and don’t mess him about, you won’t have any problems.
“I understand him because I think the same, you have to be tough and mature. He’s a beast with people who aren’t honest.”
Football London reports that Mourinho and his coaches have been thrilled with Ndombele’s application during the lockdown. If he heeds Herrera’s counsel, then long may that continue.

He could be one top player if he put the effort in. Sheffield Utd players are fit as hell and never stop. Look what they have achieved as a team, same with Wolves. You can’t carry players anymore unless they are remarkable. Ndombele isn’t in that bracket, few are.
Tanguy may even be more suited to rocket science. No running involved for starters.
It’s hardly rocket science. Very few people who work hard, show up, show their worth and are productive (in any industry) get grief off the boss.
