José Mourinho is in trouble again, as you might have heard. What has he done this time? Well, just from Manchester United’s game against Young Boys on Tuesday night the charges are as follows:
1: Suggesting some of his players might prefer to watch on television if they are unable to handle the Old Trafford pressure. 2: Selecting the most expensive bench in United history, with big-money buys Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku among the substitutes and top earner Alexis Sánchez not even in the squad. 3: Turning his back and shaking his head at an early miss by Marcus Rashford, an action that drew instant criticism from Gary Lineker of the strikers’ union. 4: Trashing a drinks container when his side finally took the lead in injury time, thereby guaranteeing much of the ensuing coverage focused on him. 5: Pointing out his sparkling record of success in Europe at the end of the game, inevitably inviting criticism that he is living on past glories.
