After two years and seven months of coaching Manchester United, Mourinho was fired by the Red Devils. This season he lost control of the team. Confusion, contradiction, conflict, disorder, and accusation are the main impressions Manchester United has left to the outside world this season.
The British media “Daily Mirror” revealed an important piece of news today, saying that Mourinho’s leaving was completely caused by several players. They found the CEO Woodward together, saying that if Mourinho doesn’t leave, they would transfer to other club.
British media used such a sentence to describe Woodward’s helplessness: he used the dismissal of Mourinho to avoid the rebellion of many stars. It is reported that many players in Manchester United have lost confidence and patience in Mourinho. They think that if Mourinho is still in Manchester United, the team can’t be peaceful. Four players have found Woodward in recent days to show their attitudes. They and Mourinho can’t get well anymore and their conflict has been very serious. They told Woodward directly that if Mourinho didn’t leave before the winter transfer window, they would submit a transfer application to leave the team in the coming winter.
Woodward has no choice, he does not want to see so many stars leaving the team together. Recently, Manchester United’s perfomance is really not ideal. Under the stimulation of these two factors, Woodward finally choosed to fire Mourinho. Less than 48 hours after Manchester United lost to Liverpool by 1-3, Mourinho was fired and once again “betrayed” by the players. The contradiction between him and the players has been long-standing and cannot be reconciled.
