Things aren’t going well for José Mourinho.
Sent to the stands for kicking a bottle out of frustration on Sunday afternoon, the Portuguese manager sat helplessly as his team missed out on two valuable points, drawing at Old Trafford against an out-of-form West Ham side.
Of course, the season is still young, with 25 more games to be played, but this is far from the start the ‘Special’ One will have wanted when he took over the club from Louis Van Gaal over the summer.
Mourinho’s behaviour, which has always been under scrutiny by the European media, has caused a few journalists to give their two cents on what is going on, and Michael Reis for SportBild didn’t hold back with his criticism of the Manchester United manager.
Describing him as ‘increasingly like an offended, spoilt child who been taken away from the sandbox by the shovel’, the German journalist explained Mourinho has, so far, ‘caused more damage to United than improved them’.
Also critical in his treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Reis reckons the season is as good as done for Mourinho in the Premier League, with his competition too far ahead already.
Adding that ‘the glow’ surrounding the manager is now long gone, it seems Mourinho’s reputation with our German friends is at its lowest.
Then again, we’re not sure the man himself will care that much, to be honest.
