JOSE MOURINHO bizarrely claimed he is the worst manager in the history of football - as he dodged explosive claims he wanted to 'break' Arsene Wenger's face'.

The Manchester United boss lost three games in eight days as three separate rollickings left a number of his players including Luke Shaw stunned – as exclusively revealed by SunSport.

It is the first time Mourinho has spoken his stunning claims that he wanted to 'break Arsene Wenger's face' over the transfer of Juan Mata.

But the Red Devils boss insists he is not upset with personal criticism – even though he is irked by jibes directed at the players he openly hammered after three straight defeats.

Speaking about the difficulty faced by Leicester trying to retain their title, with tongue firmly in cheek, Mourinho said: “Not many teams have done that and one of the teams was Man Utd and another was some team managed by the worst manager in the history of football.
