The writing was on the wall that Jose Mourinho was going to get the sack. We just don’t understand why it took so long. It has been a nightmare few months at Old Trafford.
Mourinho didn’t have a plan, a first 11 or a system in which he wanted the team to play in his entire period as manager. It was pathetic. But this season has been worse, with the club failing to win against any of the top six sides and suffering embarrassing defeats to the likes of Derby County.
Something had to give and he was finally shown the door on Tuesday morning. The club announced that “Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.”
Manchester United fans have celebrated the sacking with hilarious memes:

You will forgive Manchester United for all the excitement at this moment. Even though Mourinho won the League Cup and the Europa League in his first season, he has overseen some of the most boring football and embarrassing defeats in the history of the club.
We just hope the club can kick start their season.
