​Former Chelsea great Pat Nevin claims that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho does not know how to utilise his players Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.





The Portuguese tactician kept Juan Mata out of his United squad for their match against Premier League champions Chelsea and Mkhitaryan was seen struggling to make any kind of impact and was substituted in the second half.





Jose Mourinho has been criticised for his negative approach in the matches against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur as well as Chelsea and former Chelsea winger Nevin believes Mourinho does not know how to get the best out of his number 10s.









Speaking to Newstalk, Nevin said, "Jose doesn't really know what to do with a Mata or a Mkhitaryan. He doesn't understand it. His methodology, for whatever we say, it wins trophies. If Man United win a trophy this year, you won't be surprised."





United are currently in second place on the Premier League table, eight points adrift of league leaders Manchester City.





The Red Devils will welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford in their next Premier League encounter this weekend.
