Why Manchester United MUST Sack Jose Mourinho

5. Mourinho Is Nothing Like Fergie

There’s a false narrative being spread by pundits and pro-Mourinho advocates that the former ‘special one’ must be given more time because Ferguson had a poor run before becoming the most successful manager in football history. This is nothing more than garbage and a desperate attempt to re-write history.

Yes, it’s true that Sir Alex Ferguson was almost sacked before becoming the club’s biggest icon, but Mourinho’s current mess has nothing in common with the red nosed Scots’ ‘worst’ years. Ferguson was a young, up-and-coming manager who looked to win every match, meanwhile Mourinho is a middle-aged bore who sets up for draws rather than victories.

In addition, Fergie was building for the future while Mourinho buys players in the twilight of their careers due to having the outdated perspective that age, experience and height earns trophies rather than positive football. Plus, even if you ignore the former Chelsea legend’s negative tactics, the comparison between Ferguson and Mourinho is foolish as the 13-time Premier League winner had a long-term vision while Mourinho will no doubt leave for Paris, Germany or Italy in the near future.

The Mourinho-Ferguson comparison is one that doesn’t work in modern football and is a lie that needs to stop being spread – Manchester United will not regret sacking the vein Portuguese whose ancient brand of football is embarrassing and more suited for a relegation scrap.
