Who’s The Man To Replace Mourinho?

There’s only one thing on people’s minds now – who is next? We’ve got all the best Next Man Utd Manager Odds and tips right here.

English football was rocked to its foundations on Tuesday morning when the news broke across all major channels, including social media. Manchester United had officially ended the contract of manager Jose Mourinho.

The decision was made to end the special one’s time at Old Trafford just days after the 55-year-old was given the dreaded public backing of his bosses. However, in the end, that made little difference as the gaffer’s famous three-year curse struck again. Surely it can no longer be considered a myth that Jose losses his job in the third season after taking charge.

Regardless, the Setubal-born leader once again finds himself unemployed; unfortunately, it probably came as no great shock to the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid manager. Many followers of the Premier League thought it would’ve happened long before now; however, with the January transfer window about to swing open, it looks like the men in charge have timed their move carefully.

Sitting in Sixth Place

Mourinho leaves United sitting sixth in the table with stats of seven wins and five draws against five defeats. They are already 19 points off the pace set by Liverpool and 18 behind bitter rivals Manchester City; most important of all, they are 11 behind fourth-placed Chelsea who are the current gate-keepers to qualification for next season’s Champions League. It has been written that Mourinho was sacked before he could inflict any more damage on The Red Devils’ season.

Three draws on the bounce did nothing to win over his growing army of critics. There was a feeling when Man Utd beat lowly Fulham at Old Trafford that the result was merely delaying the inevitable. A 2-1 loss followed at the home of Valencia on Champions League duty; this was followed by a devastating 3-1 reverse at Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool Put The Boot In

League leaders Liverpool beating Man Utd on Merseyside was certainly no great surprise; however, it was the margin of victory and the woeful effort put in by the beaten side that really stuck in the throat of all connected to the Manchester club.

Mane scored the opener for Liverpool on 16 December; then, despite Lingard firing an equaliser against the run of play on 33 minutes, it did little to stop the Liverpool express train. Shaqiri fired home a deadly double on 73 and 80 minutes.

Did Mourinho leave the touchline knowing that was the last time he’d lead Man Utd into battle? If he did, he did a great job of hiding it when speaking to the press at full-time. Jose could do nothing more than admit the better team won; he simply threw his hands up to say Liverpool were stronger than his troops in everything they did.

Opposite number Jurgen Klopp didn’t give a second thought to the pressures facing his rival. He was smiling from ear to ear when dubbing Liverpool’s performance outstanding, one that left him feeling over the moon. Two professional managers who have achieved a great deal in the game but the difference in moods was impossible to miss. We doubt he’ll take the reins and leave Liverpool – with odds of 100/1 at Unibet.
