Jose Mourinho's Shocking Departure From Manchester United has Left Many Football Fans in Tears

On Tuesday, Manchester United showed the exit door to Jose Mourinho after the club made their worst start to a season in almost 30 years, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.

The 55-year-old's last match in charge was the 3-1 defeat by league leaders Liverpool on Sunday which left them 19 points behind their opponents.

It is United's worst start in the league since 1990 and even his ambition of reaching the top four and a Champions League qualification spot is in danger with the club 11 points adrift of those places.

Dear Mou my Jose, I'm sorry it had to end this way. I never lost faith in you even though I must say it's not an easy task managing England's biggest club in its roughest times. You're no Churchill yet you won us some battles and a couple of trophies Have a great Christmas — #OrijinalKells (@KellsJabari) December 18, 2018

Jose Mourinho will now be gleefully pulverised by all & sundry but I love the guy. Brilliant manager, great character, incredible track record. Too many overpaid mediocre flash git egos in that United team. Jose will be back soon, winning big trophies again. pic.twitter.com/3Z8NfHp8vL — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 18, 2018

Since Fergie left, we've went through four managers - Moyes, Giggs, Van Gaal, Mourinho. Finished 7th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 2nd - Currently 6th in the League this season. Something is institutionally wrong at Manchester United. And no manager can sort it. Thanks, Jose #WoodwardOut #mufc pic.twitter.com/XMGHS847zr

Anyone who thinks the problems at MUFC will disappear overnight are having a laugh. The owners, the CEO and a lot of the players are cunts. I’d like to thank Mr Mourinho for winning the UEFA cup and making it a complete set of trophies. — Gary Thompson (@gary302) December 18, 2018

I’ll always be thankful for what Jose Mourinho did for Chelsea. I’ve said this before but when all is said & done I’ll look back fondly. For now it’ll be interesting to see where he goes next. pic.twitter.com/mn9YCDTh7Q
