Twitter reacts to Mourinho's explosive first press conference as Manchester United manager

Manchester United’s new manager Jose Mourinho faced the press today for the first time in his Old Trafford role. Predictably the former Chelsea boss served up a feast, with plenty of quotes that took aim at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, while also defending his record with youth.

Whatever you think of Mourinho, he generates plenty of headlines and Twitter went wild in it’s reaction to the Portuguese manager.

Mourinho took aim at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, saying “There are some managers who last won a title 10 years ago. Some of them the last time they won a title was never. I last won a title last year.”

If Jose Mourinho was the best man at a wedding he'd probably mention Arsene Wenger in his speech #AFC

Mourinho hasn't even managed a game for us yet and he's managed to rustle Arsenal's entire fanbase.

Somewhere Juan Mata is watching this press conference crying into his old #MUFC jersey looking up flights to Valencia.

Plenty of journalists also took issue with Mourinho claiming to have developed ‘49’ players.

Please someone get the 49 names of the young players Mourinho claims he has brought through

Two things:1. There's not 49.2. Giving a player a first team debut is not "promoting from youth"

Shame Mourinho didn't have time to read out list of 49 yth players he's promoted. Suspect it includes Solanke - 17 mins in 6-0 win v Maribor

Giving players debuts is not youth development

Of course, Mourinho’s battle with Guardiola is the one that is the best :
