Marca miss Jose Mourinho, well at least their journalist Manuel Julia does.
In a back page snippet in their Friday edition, Marca go with a headline saying ‘Return, Mou’ and unless it’s a huge dollop of sarcasm, it appears the Manchester United manager is genuinely missed by the Spanish media.
Manuel Julia says ‘Let’s be honest: we miss Mou’ and explains Spanish journalists prefer moving like ‘meatballs and sauce with the hustle and bustle’ from Mourinho compared to a more calm situation.
The Manchester United manager’s press conferences are described as ‘a trip on a roller-coaster’, and it’s suggested perhaps there’s something missing for Mourinho in England.
Mourinho is said to have a love of journalism, and whilst this may be tongue in cheek, the Marca article says he’s such a fan of newspapers that he single-handily took on a mission to help sales increase.
‘Mou’ filled newspapers with attractive headlines and, perhaps our favourite, started ‘wars with invisible bullets’.
If Manchester United becomes too difficult a task for Mourinho, the Spanish media may be ready to welcome him back to La Liga with opens arms.
