#3 Ronaldo on Mourinho

Ronaldo backs Mourinho

While most of the world wants Jose Mourinho to be sacked by Manchester United, he has found himself an ally in the form of Ronaldo. No, we are talking about Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo but former Brazil superstar Ronaldo Nazario.

The former Real Madrid forward was asked about whether Zinedine Zidane could take over from Jose Mourinho and become the next manager at the Theatre of Dreams.

And while he praised his former team-mate for winning a hattrick of Champions League titles, he did reveal that it would be wrong to undermine Jose Mourinho since he is “special”.

"It's not easy to win three Champions in a row. No-one has succeeded [like him] and then left. I know Zizou well, he's a great person and a very good coach.” he said.

"I do not know what's going on in Manchester, but think before criticizing Mourinho: he's special, he has won a lot."
