Old Trafford is set to host its first UEFA Champions League fixture with Manchester United taking on Valencia in a crucial match for both teams. Mourinho and his side have gone through very rough patches in these past few days with the league cup exit against Derby County and the league defeat against West Ham along with numerous reports of players being unsettled with the Portugues manager taking rounds.
With rumours of a sack gathering momentum in Old Trafford the 2-time Champions League winning manager will be desperate to take the win against an out of sorts Valencia side who have just a single victory after the completion of 7 rounds in the La Liga.
