Jose Mourinho has been surprisingly courted by Manchester United fans after leaving AS Roma.
On the evening of January 16, MU posted an image of Old Trafford stadium on their social media page with the caption: “A day of snowfall”. Below the post, many “Red Devils” fans flooded in to leave a series of comments related to Jose Mourinho.
“Bring Mourinho back”, “Sign Mourinho”, “Please replace Ten Hag with Mourinho”, “Only the ‘Special One’ can save the team this season”, “Mourinho is free”… are the reactions of the fans.
In the afternoon of January 16, AS Roma announced that Mourinho was no longer the head coach of the team. The decision to split with Mourinho was made by Roma immediately after their 1-3 defeat to AC Milan. At present, the home team of Olimpico has fallen to 9th place with 29 points, 5 points behind the Champions League qualifying group.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag is gradually losing the trust of the fans. This season, “The Red Devils” were eliminated from the Champions League with the bottom of the table position, stopped early in the League Cup and are currently in 7th place on the Premier League table.
Back to the “Special One”, in more than 2 years leading MU, the Portuguese coach helped the team win 1 English League Cup and 1 Europa League title. In addition, the 2nd place in the Premier League season 2017/18 was also the best achievement of the team in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
