Jose Mourinho Angry With Manchester United Defender Over Suspicious Activity

The trick to calling in sick is make sure there’s no trace of you anywhere, especially not on social media but to be honest I’m always worried someone will spot me even if I head to the corner shop, not even considering that if they’re in there then they are also bunking off work!

Manchester United drew 1-1 with Stoke City on Saturday. Jose Mourinho’s side went behind from an unfortunate Juan Mata goal and after a long afternoon of knocking on the door they were finally rewarded with Wayne Rooney’s record breaking late equaliser.

United were without defender Marcos Rojo because of an illness but the Argentine was still at the match. The former Spartak Moscow player was in with the away fans and whilst the supporters were pleased it’s unlikely Mourinho will feel the same way:


Rojo has been much improved under Mourinho recently and has been one of his first choice centre backs alongside Phil Jones since the 3-1 win over Swansea back in November.

And Jose won’t be happy if his illness is worsened by being out in the cold during the match.

United have two cup games this week with Hull in the EFL Cup and Wigan in the FA Cup before an important February, with Europa League fixtures and the Manchester derby to come.

The good news for Mourinho is that Ivory Coast are struggling to qualify for the knock out stages in the African Cup of Nations and that would mean getting Eric Bailly back sooner than expected.

The Portuguese boss was left lamenting his side’s struggle to convert their chances after a 1-1 draw at Stoke.

United dominated possession in the Premier League encounter and carved out a host of goalscoring opportunities.

But having failed to make the most of them thanks to a combination of their profligacy and some heroics at the back from Stoke, they went into stoppage time still trailing to Juan Mata’s 19th-minute own goal.

Substitute Wayne Rooney then swept in a superb free kick in the fourth additional minute to become the club’s outright all-time leading goalscorer and secure a draw that extended United’s unbeaten run in all competitions to 17 games.
