Jose Mourinho asks Premier League players to stop being 'selfish' and think about fans

Legendary manager Jose Mourinho has backed FA's decision to restart the Premier League after a 3-month halt. The Premier League is set to return on June 17 after the competition was suspended amidst the coronavirus pandemic. However, many players and coaches have shown concern over the return of the league. Many believe that the English board is rushing towards starting the league as it can massively impact the health of players. While Jose Mourinho acknowledged the concern previously, the UK Government's 'Project Restart' seems to have made him change his mind on the issue.
