There is no one denying the fact that
Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs
in the world. Jose Mourinho himself described
United as a dream job for him, and the trophy
cabinets of both Mourinho and United are
clearly extraordinary.

With one of the biggest jobs in the world of
football comes huge expectations. No one can
achieve what Sir Alex has done with Man Utd,
but after the abysmal era's of David Moyes
and Louis van Gaal, United appointed Jose
Mourinho as their manager, with the main aim
of getting back to winning ways.

In Jose's first season, United won the Europa
League and League Cup, but the media
focused mainly on the fact that United finished
6th that season in the Premier League. In his
second season with United, Jose came 2nd, 19
points behind Manchester City who had a freak
season, finishing with 100 points on the final
day of the Premier League.

No one came close to Man City than their arch
rivals United, but the media instead praised
Liverpool and Tottenham who were 25 and 23
points behind Manchester City.

After the defeat against Spurs in the post
match conference, Jose Mourinho demanded
respect from the media by signaling 3 fingers
(3 Premier League titles), more than the other
19 managers combined in the Premier League.
Mourinho had gone on the front foot by
defending his side's performance, telling the
assembled media they had to decide what was
most important, brilliant football or results.
Last season he had been accused of negative
football, even when United had won.
It is beyond argument that Mourinho is in a
tough place right now. United played open
football, with high pressing and aggressive
intent in the first half, a departure from the
way Jose sets his teams up, but United found
themselves trailing after individual defensive
errors.

United have their worst start in a Premier
League season since 1992-93, losing 2 of their
first 3 games, and United have not been
beaten this badly at home in a league game by
Tottenham since 1972.

Mourinho was baffled by the lies made up by
the media. He himself denied the reports of
feuds with Paul Pogba and Chairman Ed
Woodward.

United finished runners-up to Manchester City
last season, and before the season's opening
game against Leicester, Mourinho questioned
why Liverpool's boss Jurgen Klopp and Spurs
boss Mauricio Pochettino receive praise
despite their failure to win a trophy. He stated,
"It is difficult for me to believe we finished
second when I listen, when I read, because you
are capable of making people that finish second
look like they were relegated and people who
win nothing, finish below us, and you make
them look like serial winners"

This is nothing new for United. During Sir Alex
Ferguson's era, there was a belief that Arsene
Wenger escaped media criticism because he
was seen as being sophisticated and
intelligent.

Sir Alex's intellect is huge. His sense of
humour was legendary, but in front of the
media he was aggressive, and the reputation
stuck, deserved or not.
The pressure is on Manchester United and
Jose.

United need to turn this around soon,
otherwise this will be a long season for them.
Away trips to Burnley and Watford are
incoming, and they need to get back on track.
Following the summer exits of Wenger and
Chelsea's Antonio Conte, Mourinho was right
when he said the score on Premier League
titles is 3 to him, 2 to the rest. But unless he
finds an answer soon, that lead will evaporate.

Mourinho plays winning football and not attractive football. I laugh at man u. You want mourinho to win while playing attractive football. Well that's not his style. Every coach has his methods. At chelsea, mourinho played winning football, boring sometimes, even parking the bus when it's necessary but he won the matches and won trophies playing that way. You guys want mourinho to play man u way, alex ferguson's way but you guys forgot mourinho has his own way. Another thing is there is alot of average players on this man u team. Rashford,lingard,fellaini,lindelof,jones,smalling,young,herreira are all average. I might even say pogba. Allow mourinho play his way and not man u way. Otherwise, it will take you guys 20 years to win the league again.

d media should allow him do his job. they pressure him more than they do to pochetino, pep, klopp( how many final has he lost?) .haba dere should leave him alone so we know where d fault is from and deal with it.
