3 reasons why Jose Mourinho will be desperate to win the FA Cup

#2 Jose Mourinho loves silverware

Ajax v Manchester United - UEFA Europa League Final — Mourinho kisses the Europa League trophy

Jose Mourinho recently told ESPN Brazil,

"It's my fault because my career was built to win."

"It's always victories and victories. And now it's been almost a year without any victories and I feel like that's more important than people who never won anything.

"But in reality, people who never win anything are worse than the ones who always win and someday just don't. I have never been an entire season without victories, so that means that if I don't win [the FA Cup], the fact that I made it to the finals turns into only an 'option.'

Need I say anything more? Mourinho knows how to set his teams up for the big games and he has numerous super-villain methods to make sure the trophy ends up in his cabinet.

If they win the FA Cup, Manchester United can sign off on a positive note and the fans will love a cup victory over rivals, Chelsea.

And Mourinho will feel happier in his gaffer's seat at Old Trafford.
