Could Manchester United have thrown caution to the wind, considering the signing of the controversial self acclaimed special one Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese who signed a three year contract with the Red Devils, one could wonder if a clause regarding addressing the issue of tolerance and discipline was involved. Considering Mourinho humbling himslef taking up a team that failed to qualify for the Champions League, the first of its kind in years of his successful managerial career. With Mourinho been also welcome by club legend ' Sir Bobby Charlton' who has previously heavily criticized the Portuguese for his arrogance and said he doesn't fit into Manchester United profile. It's a good sign the parrot beak has been tamed and would be expected to channel it into work rather than conflicts.
Sir Bobby Charlton is or was rather right considering the fact Mourinho likes indulges himself in a row, conflicts and acts likes a Pontiff. Was could be the self acclaimed special one is now a changed Man ready to channel his talking effort to more of work.
No doubt, Mourinho has been successful everywhere he goes, starting from his own country with Porto lifting the Champions League and domestic league, before moving to England to manage Chelseafc where he handed them their first league trophy for the first time in fifty years and rejuvenate the team. He went to both Inter and Madrid and was successful as well. But he left Los Blancos almost in disarray in his third season and left on a mutual consent. Coming back to England to manage Chelseafc where he regarded as having unfinished business, his second season paid off, but his third season again was a bizarre and left the team in chaos and shambles, what he considered as a betrayal from his players. He left as well on a mutual consent.
Mourinho taking the Manchester United job, given the image of the club, would he be willing to swallow his pride and be ready to keep his cool with Managers, his players, referees, and FA with his derogatory comments in other to promote and guide the image of the club?$
