With his team accused of bothering the faithful of Old Trafford This season, manager Jose Mourinho provides at least his own fireworks.
The Portuguese celebrated the winner in the 91st minute of Marouane Fellaini against Young Boys by throwing a box of drinks bottles on the floor, took advantage of his post-match interview to address a message to his "lovers" and finally declare his guardian "the best in the world". ".
Let's go in.
& # 39; You know I'm right & # 39;
First of all, the celebration. Famous singer Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, marked the end of particularly satisfying concerts, sometimes only individual songs, reducing his guitar to splinters of wood compared to the nearest amp.
Mourinho channeled his inner rock god by taking out his emotion on a basket of bottles.
There has not been so much disdain for a carrier at Old Trafford since he was asked his opinion about his international teammate Didier Deschamps.
Mourinho has been criticized for his reaction of Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport. The former defender of United has hinted that it was an attempt to attract attention.
José was not in agreement.
"Those who comment on football are not likely to be sidelined," he said. "For those who talk about expressing their frustration on the bench, I invite them to come and sit there as a manager.
"Maybe they prefer a lot of holidays in Barbados and can they go on TV and use their electric mannequins.
"It's a lot more comfortable than being on the bench, I'm pretty sure that a competent football official will never criticize another player for what he's doing on the line." For those who have a good life, it's different. "
Mourinho is not the first to have scattered bottles of water along the sideline. Arsene Wenger was sent off for starting a bottle of frustrated water when he was leading Arsenal at Old Trafford in 2009.
And Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp apologizes for throwing one on the floor in last year's draw with Arsenal.
14 of 14
Mourinho was not in the mood to discuss the small statistical footprint of his team's season.
United are closer to the bottom of the Premier League than top, while conceding more than four times more goals than rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
A "Expected Objectives" graph produced by Numberer Michael Caley after the draw with Crystal Palace last weekend showed that the 0-0 stalemate was exactly what they deserved.
"The most important is to qualify and for some of my lovers and those who love statistics, I have 14 seasons in the Champions League and 14 times my teams have qualified until the group stage", said Mourinho.
"The season when I was not in the Champions League, I won the Europa League."
The Portuguese did his homework. Nothing wrong with this statistic.

"I know he wants to stay"
Mourinho, however, praised his goalkeeper after David de Gea had created a superb save attempting to maintain United's level earlier in the game.
The 28-year-old commits to Old Trafford until the summer, with the club extending to 2020.
"He's a world-clbad player, the best goalie in the world," said Mourinho.
"I know that he wants to stay and that the agent wants to do what the player wants. The board wants him to stay and work on it."
