The 27-year-old worked under some of the planet’s best managers during his time at Man United, coming through the academy during Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign.
Since then, Louis van Gaal, Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjar, Erik ten Hag, Ralf Rangnick and Ruben Amorim have all tried to bring back the glory days at United and failed.
Mourinho’s time at the club was arguably the most successful since Ferguson’s retirement, winning the League Cup and the Europa League.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast Roshford looked back at his time: “Influential? I’d probably say (Louis) Van Gaal, Jose (Mourinho), and Ole (Gunnar Solskjær).
“I’ve had so many different managers, so it’s impossible to compare them all. But when you are a developing player, like at a young age, up until Jose, I’d never had a manager so fixated on winning before him.
“(Van Gaal) was fixated on winning, but he wanted to play a beautiful style of football. Jose doesn’t care – if you win, you win. You move on to the next game. At the beginning, I was angry all the time. But because we’ve won, and he’s just a winner, you start to understand him.
"He doesn’t bring up the points that were missing from the last game if we’ve won, but when we lose, he points them out. After a few months, I started to respect that approach, and I reaped the rewards with him as a coach."
