Martin Keown: 'Jose Mourinho could lose dressing room at Manchester United'

Martin Keown has claimed that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho could lose the dressing room after publicly criticising his players.

Martin Keown has warned Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho that he is in danger of losing the dressing room.

The Portuguese coach launched a verbal tirade against his players, despite witnessing the team earn a 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The result put the Red Devils into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but Mourinho was far from happy with the performance and once again Luke Shaw.

In his column for the Daily Mail, former Arsenal defender Keown said: "Mourinho has lost dressing rooms at Chelsea and Real Madrid. He knows he is walking a tightrope but he is doing whatever it takes to get a performance.

"Trying to get a reaction is one thing. Humiliating his players is another. I do not like the way Luke Shaw has been treated. Mourinho should consider his players as sons. How would he react if his own child was being treated this badly?

"Because Mourinho did not play at the highest level, he will simply not understand the effect that being hooked at half-time has on a player. Other players at Old Trafford may look at Shaw and think: 'That could be me next.' By behaving this way, Mourinho risks driving a wedge between the squad and the staff."

Reports have claimed that members of United's hierarchy are frustrated with Mourinho's treatment of Shaw.
