Jose Mourinho is still the right man for United…for now
Mourinho always divides people everywhere he goes. The same is true at Manchester United, with certain sections of fans calling for his head. The problem is, there is no one better out there to fix the club’s fortunes than Mourinho.
The Portuguese manager has been criticised for his negative football at times. United’s performance in the Champions League round of 16 tie against Sevilla showed that Mourinho needs to change his mindset. While United did manage to beat all 19 teams in the Premier League, some of the performances irked fans, due to the lack of entertainment on show.
However, there were signs of improvement as United were stronger defensively and also scored more goals than last season. Mourinho needs to bring the excitement back to Old Trafford. He must get his players to play with more consistency and desire. And if he can do that, he can bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
Next season will be do or die for Mourinho. He initially signed a three-year contract with Manchester United. And if he cannot help the club win the league, it is unlikely that he will be allowed to stay on.
