The Devil and Jose Mourinho

Ezra Zaid, Manchester United supporter

13-Sep-16 14:30

Right before Jose Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, Jonathan Wilson wrote this piece for The Guardian, The Devil and Jose Mourinho which posited that Jose Mourinho’s career has been one long revenge plot, placing him in opposition to Pep Guardiola and the Barcelona/Ajax approach to football. Lee Chwi Lynn speaks to Ezra Zaid about whether Mourinho’s winning ways balance out against the guarantee of drama that accompanies him.
