Jose Mourinho told his friends he knew the bag came after Manchester United's tasteless 3-1 defeat at Liverpool's Anfield in December.

Duly, the Portuguese coach was removed from his post just two days after the poor performance of United and the slight defeat beat by the Anfield club.

However, according to Daily Mail, the former director of Real Madrid and Chelsea knew that the ax would arrive – but refused to be the first to leave.

Paul Pogba vs. Eric Bailly … The well-being factor is alive and well in Manchester United!

Apparently, the text that he had sent to his friends immediately after the match read: "I'm done." However, he also mentioned that it would not be him who would have forced the exit because he would also have sent them a message saying "do not leave."

Mourinho was then replaced by Norwegian interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has since then organized a resounding reversal of the club's fate, which has remained undefeated ever since.

The club having chosen to remove Mourinho from his post instead of the Portuguese tactician himself throwing sponge, he left Old Trafford with a juicy check of about 25 million pounds sterling.
