Mourinho Says He Will Be Back Soon

Rio Ferdinand warns that Manchester United face a title drought akin to Liverpool’s should they fail with their next managerial appointment. Maybe you also remember the first years of Sir Alex? Mourinho and Guardiola shared a fierce rivalry during their time in Spain, as Real Madrid and Barcelona managers respectively, and the former is keen to reignite that feud in Manchester.

Spanish playmaker Mata was also axed by Mourinho upon his return to Chelsea in 2013, despite having been voted to the PFA Team of the Year the previous season.

Missing out on the top four would have significant financial complications for United, who have backed Van Gaal to the hilt during his two years in charge.

“(London) is an fantastic place to live and for the family to be together”, said Mourinho. By rule, Hazard had to leave the field for treatment, which momentarily left Chelsea with just nine players because goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had received a red card earlier in the match.

The retired defender has urged his former club to carefully consider all their options before replacing current boss Louis van Gaal.

Despite their upturn in fortunes, United are still fifth in the league, six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City with 13 league games remaining.

Although it’s far from certain that Jose Mourinho will become the next Manchester United manager, the British press aren’t doing anything to halt the relentless speculation.

“There’s no communication between myself and the club at the minute and I said what I had to say and that’s how it was”. I think we’re showing now that we can play a high level of football and can play attractive, offensive football. “I don’t have to answer this question and I shall not repeat myself every week”.
