Jose Mourinho to Drag Arsene Wenger Down with Him in Latest Stand-off With the FA

Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United are having a nightmare of a season, standing at the 6th place 11 points off the top of the table, 13 games into the season.

The manager has been evidently frustrated with the form his side in recent games and is now under severe pressure to perform and get his team back to their best. Mourinho added some top quality stars to the squad in the summer but has not been able to get them to play together and it has affected the chemistry of the team as a whole which is also evident in the results.

So frustration and tempers are only growing at the Old Trafford and it did not come as a surprise when Mourinho lost his cool yet again on the touchline at the weekend.

During the stalemate against West Ham, Mourinho was seen agitated in the technical area and was all over the place during the game.

He kicked away a bottle of water to show dissent towards a decision from the referee during the game and was dismissed to the stands second this season.

Reports reveal that he could be banned for more than just a game and may pay a fine close to £50,000 for his antics on the pitch.

He has already been charged by the FA with the official punishment yet to be revealed but Mourinho is now planning to use his old friend Arsene Wenger to get out of this mess.

Having been cautioned the second time, Mourinho will need a strong defence to keep himself away from danger and boy did he find one.

Sticking to his love towards Arsene Wenger, Mourinho is now reportedly ready to use the Arsenal manager and his antics a few years ago to prove a point and come out of this mess unscathed.

In Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United back in 2009, Arsene Wenger was shown a red card for kicking away a bottle in dissent to a goal that was wrongly ruled out.

This game saw Wenger engulfed by Manchester United fans in the stands and provided great moments.

However, Wenger received an apology from the then match referee Keith Hackett who apologised for the mistake in the game and revoked the red card.

So Mourinho is adamant that there are double standards in the Premier League.

Just recently, he asked the media to respect him as much as they do his Arsenal counterpart and if Mourinho can put his point out well, he may well have a point to prove.

Do you think Mourinho is right in dragging Wenger through the mud?
