Five reasons why Mourinho’s tenure at Manchester United wasn’t a complete failure

#5 Entertainment

Mourinho gestures at the Juventus fans

Football aside, Mourinho was a great entertainer too. It was hard to compete with van Gaal’s touchline dive, but Mourinho somehow managed to outshine him even in terms of entertainment. His off-field antics, his barbs at fellow managers (Ahem, did someone say 'hair transplant'?) and even at his own players and club, his tongue-in-cheek comments, his feuds with the media and his passion made him an extremely entertaining manager.

Also, who can hate Mourinho's reaction to the Juventus fans when United nicked a win at Turin. That alone absolves this man from everything.

There's no doubt that heading Manchester United was a messy job for any manager. But Mourinho, most certainly, fared better than his predecessors.

People may be going gaga over Ole right now, but most Manchester United fans should surely look back at Jose's reign with a smile and be proud.
