His relations with his managers in England were often complicated, even stormy, as with José Mourinho.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had succeeded him, was able to get the best of him for a while in a 2019/2020 season complicated by injuries, but ended with a third place in the Premier, thanks to his good relationship with Bruno Fernandes.
