Jose Mourinho is a one of a kind manager who has won almost everything possible at club level in more than one country.
He is one of the most respected managers in world football but is not a guy the everyone adores.
In his time around Europe, Mourinho has made a number of enemies, some professional, but more often than not he has made some personal enemies in his line of business.
But no manager in the world quite gets on his nerves as the long serving Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Perhaps because Wenger is still at the Emirates even after Mourinho left Chelsea won the league and the Champions League with Real Madrid and come back to win the league with Chelsea.
The Frenchman annoys Mourinho so much so that the Manchester United manager, even in his worst, does not forget to mention the Arsenal manager.
In a fresh interview, after his team’s dab draw against Burnley, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was seen taking a slight dig at the Arsenal manager who he branded a ‘specialist in failure’ an year ago.
Manchester Unite are currently in the 8th place with 15 points from 10 games, a start that was bettered by David Moyes a couple of years ago.
This has seen the Portuguese at Old Trafford come under severe pressure recently and in a bid to explain his team’s troubles said that they need time to settle down after the number of changes in the summer and the last few years.
That comment made as much sense as having to drag Wenger into this did not.
Speaking to the media, Mourinho said, “We need time. It is always the same story. At some clubs and with some managers they have all the time they want.”
It is hard to say if Mourinho came up with the comment to annoy Wenger or if it was a way to express is dissent with the squad but whatever it is, it is a comment that we came easily associate with the Portuguese.
He went on to say, “Some clubs get time but with others you demand immediate success of the clubs and the managers. That’s Manchester United and Jose Mourinho. No problem.”
Despite the recent form of the club, it is good to see Mourinho still trusting himself and asking for some time before the fans turn against him at Old Trafford.
Manchester United will face Arsenal in a Monday night kick-off at the Old Trafford on the 19th of November and this might just be the start of the war between the two managers leading to that game.
