Reactions of the return of Mourinho to Manchester

LONDON (Reuters) – The main reaction following Jose Mourinho's dismissal from Manchester United after the Red Devils' worst start to the season since 1990:

– Relations between Mourinho and Bugba midfielder have been tense since the start of the season, prompting Portugal to keep the 2018 World Cup champion on the bench several times, most recently on Sunday at the defeat of the Red Devils against Liverpool 1 – 3
Bougba did not comment on the sacking of the Portuguese coach but posted a photo of Mourinho on his Twitter account, stating with a sarcastic look: "Put the appropriate comment" before removing it soon after.

– Former United defender Gary Neville told Sky Sports that the Mourinho dismissal was due to the lack of support from the club's board of directors during the summer transfer period. Tottenham coach Mauricio Bucetino was the best candidate for the position.
"Manchester United have experienced coaches who have qualified for the Champions League, and others have won the league title many times.In my opinion, they need someone who respects the three basic principles of the football club, namely raising the young players (to the first team), providing a fun ball and winning the matches. "

– The former Scottish player and coach and current football analyst, Graeme Sounes, was not surprised by Mourinho's dismissal, he told Sky Sports. "The writing was on the wall for weeks .. No, I do not think so (Mourinho complains about the decision) – with the money that he spent (last summer in the transfers) and the way players are playing now, I saw at Bournemouth Stadium (United won 2 to 1 Nov. 3) a man who does not want to be here. "

– Former United United striker Brian McIller said Mourinho should not be held responsible for the match in its entirety, saying on Twitter: "You do not have to be the only one to go there !!! "

– For Jimmy Redknapp, former football star and current football analyst, Mourinho deserved to be fired from his post. When asked what had happened, he said, "Where do we start, I think if you want to join a club and do something bad for your dismissal, do what José Mourinho did."
"I do not think Jose was the right person for United's style of play for many years," he continued. The deterioration of the relationship with the board of directors, that of the players, the problem (dismissal) was for me inevitable. Everything was bad, the players did not make any effort for that. "

– Former United defender Patrice Evra has criticized the focus on Bogba and Mourinho, preferring to focus on reconstruction. "What bothers me the most is focusing on Paul Pogpa and Jose Mourinho, focusing on building something solid rather than playing like a kid doing things negatively affects that badge. of club), what we need now is only positive.
