FA to investigate Mourinho for his comments after Newcastle victory
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is under the spotlight again, and this time for swearing. United came back from 0-2 down in their Premier League match against Newcastle to win the match via second-half goals from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, and Alexis Sanchez. However, when the cameras focused on Mourinho, he was found swearing at the camera in Portuguese. Further details follow.
Mourinho was under a lot of pressure during the match
Mourinho was naturally under a lot of pressure after Newcastle were up by two goals in the first half. There were reports that he would be sacked after the Newcastle match. Further, before this fixture, United had not managed to win four straight home matches. In his managerial career, Mourinho did not ever have such a bad run of results himself.
Mourinho explained his anger in the post-match press conference
After the match, Mourinho said that he was being made the target of a manhunt by the media. The 55-year-old said that he had never seen such wickedness and large-scale manhunt ever in his life. "As a friend of mine was saying to me this morning: if tomorrow it is raining in London it is my fault", the Special One said in frustration.
