Mourinho frustrated by Man United players

We’ve all seen Mourinho complaining during preseason about the level of his squad. He wanted some extra players, but the board refused to listen to their manager. Things calmed down a bit after a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on first day of the new Premier League season. Despite this victory, Manchester United kept looking like a ticking timebomb waiting to explode. The defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion might well be the start of an explosive situation at Old Trafford.

Many Manchester United fans have enough of their manager. 2 years ago, he took over the manager position to bring Man United back to the top of the Premier League. He won the Europa League and Community Shield in his first season at the club, but the gap with Premier League champions Man City has never been bigger than it is at this moment. Back in the days, Man United was the big team in the city, while Man City was the little brother. Things turned around completely in the last few years, and this hurts in the red part of the city.

Jose Mourinho missed Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Valencia and Nemanja Matic, but even without those players there were enough world class players in the line-up against Brighton & Hove Albion. A world cup winner like Paul Pogba couldn’t lead his team to a victory in this match. Brighton was by far the better team while Man United looked very powerless. Players can’t seem to be motivated by Mourinho anymore and fans see this too. The percentage of fans that want Mourinho out of their club keeps growing. They can’t handle watching Man City play the best football in the Premier League, while Mourinho prefers to park the bus.

The results in the next few weeks will decide the rest of the season for the Mancunians. Can they bounce back from a defeat against Brighton, or are things getting worse every week? Book your Manchester United tickets through our secure booking system and support the players live in the stadium.
