Manchester United have been installed as the heavy favourites for Jose Mourinho’s next managerial position by Sky Bet.

Sir Bobby Charlton went on record as saying “a United manager wouldn’t do” the kind of acts that have got Mourinho in trouble in the past.
Mourinho is reported to have told the players that they were still winners and reminded them of their successes in the Premier League and Capital One Cup last term. “I have the same nature, I am the same person, I have the same heart and I have the same emotions relating to my passion and my job, but I am a different person”. He is one of the great managers.
Defender Baba Rahman, only signed in the summer, admits Mourinho’s departure has taken some getting used to by the players but stressed they were trying to remain professional and concentrate on returning to winning ways after back-to-back league defeats against Bournemouth and Leicester.
“He pushes his players to the limit to see what they’ve got in them. “Longer-termism”, I think the guy is a great manager – he will go somewhere else and become a great manager again”. “If you look at the quality of players Chelsea have right now, where they are in the league is ridiculous – they should not be down there”. Not only the skill of the players but the way there were doing that.
If they can claim a seventh win from their past eight games, the Foxes would lead the standings at Christmas, something surely no one would have thought possible at the start of the season. The Portuguese is known to have wanted the job when Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and, while some key officials favoured hiring him then, others felt the controversy he brings and football style just didn’t fit with United. “I have a very good relationship with him and it is a hard moment for him”, said Pochettino.

“Whilst there is huge sentiment for the individual who has done so much for the club, the fact of the matter remains that Chelsea Football Club is in trouble”, Emenalo told Chelsea TV. I hope he can use the time a bit for himself. It is good to have a bit of rest as he has worked constantly for many years at a high level.
