Out on a limb for Marcos Rojo

Jose Mourinho would make a heartfelt plea to Santa to somehow make Marcos Rojo’s right leg invisible on match days. That way when Rojo goes for his traditional Argentine welcome (read two-footed challenge) on an opposing player, the referees will still see it as only a one-legged challenge and not pull out the dreaded red card.

The Argentine might have gotten away with a few in recent games, but even Jose knows that this cannot go on forever. If you don’t see a two-footed lunge from Rojo the next three games, you know that Jose’s prayers have been answered.

Bigger water bottles

Jose would instruct the staff at Old Trafford to make sure that the bottles placed outside his technical area are slightly bigger and carry more volume than the regular ones so that when he kicks one in frustration it is less likely to go flying and in turn catch the attention of the fourth official. This way he would likely only end up with a sore foot, but he would take that as opposed to another banishing to the stands.
