When Jose Mourinho was appointed manager of Manchester United last summer the fan base was split over the decision. Some loved the move as Mourinho seems to win wherever he goes, while others were skeptical since he seems to leave a trail of fire when he leaves. There was also another issue that had all […]

Two weeks ago, Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United were wallowing away in sixth place in the Premier League. They had drawn three straight games, had won just once in their last seven Premier League games, and had drawn four straight home matches, the first time that had happened since the early 90s. Today, United are still […]

On November 30, in an EFL Cup match against West Ham United, Bastian Schweinsteiger stepped onto the field at Old Trafford for the first time since March. Although Jose Mourinho was technically suspended, it is the first appearance for the German under Mourinho. The brief stint in the cup didn’t give Schweinsteiger much time to […]

When Manchester United signed Jose Mourinho to be their manager, they thought they were signing a manager who was tactically sharp and ruthless. Someone who would do whatever it takes to win even if that included dropping a club legend from the starting XI or keeping a £26 million signing pinned to the bench. They […]

Manchester United vs. Arsenal used to be one of the biggest games on the Premier League calendar. That’s what happens when you have two teams with big name managers battling it out at the top of the Premier League table year after years. Today it’s different. The battles at the top have long become a […]

It’s always an occasion when Manchester United and Manchester City, so today’s EFL Cup tie could provide good theater at Old Trafford (2:55 p.m. ET, BeIn Sports). United comes in on the heels of a 4-0 hiding over the weekend in manager Jose Mourinho’s return to Chelsea, while City was also less than its best […]

At the end of August, I wrote that after starting the season with three wins in three games, Manchester United should fire Jose Mourinho at that time instead of waiting for things to inevitably turn south. It certainly didn’t take long for that to happen as Old Trafford has essentially been a disaster zone since September. […]

Only once before has Jose Mourinho entered Stamford Bridge as a visitor. In 2010, his Inter Milan team Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League on the way to winning the competition. Now as manager of Manchester United, Mourinho heads back to the Bridge this weekend to take on his former employers. An early […]

Manchester United’s bad September has bled into October. The Red Devil’s final match before the October international break was supposed to be a straightforward affair. A home match against a Stoke City side that entered the match in 19th place and hadn’t won at Old Trafford in over 40 years. Coming into the match United […]

In theory, Stoke City should have walked out of Old Trafford having lost 4-0. Manchester United entered the match having scored four goals against the champions Leicester City and Stoke have been among the worst teams in the league. But things never seem to work out like that. On-loan goalkeeper Lee Grant played the game […]

I believe in transparency, which is why in an effort for full transparency I should disclose right at the beginning of this post that I am a Manchester United fan. A very big one actually. Now, let me start off by saying Manchester City are a very good team. Better then I thought they would […]

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho are two of the most decorated managers in the world. Between them, they have 14 League titles, four Champions League titles and over 20 various cups. The two managers will face-off this Saturday in the Manchester Derby. Having met 16 times before, one of the biggest matches on the Premier League […]

Caution: The content/takes in this post are extremely hot. Proceed at your own discretion. Let’s call a spade a spade here. The Manchester United-Jose Mourinho relationship is going to end when United eventually fire him. Maybe they’ll say it was by “mutual consent” but if history is any guide, their working partnership will end sometime […]

If you have a friend who is a Manchester United fan, then by now they’ve certainly made sure you’re aware that the Red Devils defeated Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. It only took one game for Jose Mourinho to get Manchester United fans back on their high horses. It may […]
