5 Reasons why Manchester United were right to sack Jose Mourinho

#1 Manchester United losing its Charm

Old Trafford is also known as the Theater of Dreams. It is the place that has been synonymous with attractive, attacking football, that entertained the masses and almost always gave moments that took our breath away. It was a fortress that attracted trophies and was considered to be the dream destination for all the top footballers in the world.

It was where budding talents were nurtured and turned into the best in the world. Visiting teams considered a point as good as three and a loss for the away team was not considered a bad result. Sadly, under Mourinho, Old Trafford was anything but the place that it used to be.

Teams actually came to Old Trafford now knowing that they could easily sneak away a point. The gameplay and the tactics were so bad that the crowd had to resort to chanting "Attack, Attack, Attack". Such has been United's record that big players are sceptical about making the move to Old Trafford, with the other club in the City slowly turning into the preferred destination, something that was unimaginable even a few years ago.

Players like Mkhitaryan, Sanchez, Pogba, Bailly, Lindelof and even Lukaku have failed to flourish and under Mourinho, Old Trafford had begun to look like a place where talents faltered and degenerated. This recent damping of the Club's image and stature in the world is perhaps the biggest reason why Manchester United were correct to sack Jose Mourinho.
