Where is Mourinho's authority?!
(Baonghean.vn) - Never before has the "special one" had to go through such a difficult situation as this. At Old Trafford, he is being opposed by some players, the management is uncooperative and the fans are turning their backs.
Throughout his career, Mourinho has always shown a level of authority that not many coaches have. Not only does he have authority over his students, the “special one” also has authority over the team owners.
From Abramovich (Chelsea), Morrati (Inter Milan) to Florentino Perez (Real Madrid), all have respect for Mourinho. Unfortunately, at Man Utd, the Portuguese strategist is not treated like that. Or to be more precise, Mourinho cannot show his inherent authority.
First of all, it is the relationship with his students. The former Chelsea coach has more or less lost the respect of some players. For example, Pogba, Martial... The French duo have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Mourinho throughout the past season.
And recently, they have not even bothered to follow his orders. Martial left Man Utd's training camp to return to France to take care of his girlfriend who had just given birth, which is clear evidence.

Not only did he not maintain his prestige with his students, especially with the "stars", the strategist born in 1963 also did not receive respect from the Man Utd leadership.
Mourinho’s transfer targets are often ignored or ineffectively implemented by Vice Chairman and CEO Ed Woodward, so up to this point, Old Trafford has only welcomed 3 new players: Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant.
According to the Daily Star, the Portuguese strategist even requested a meeting with Ed Woodward to discuss Man Utd's transfer issues. However, the vice president and CEO flatly refused, citing his busy schedule. Through Ed Woodward's actions, it is clear that Mourinho's authority is no longer at Old Trafford.

More sadly, Man Utd fans have turned their backs on the “special one” more and more. It is far different from what he received at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan before, or when he first came to lead the “red devils”.
Negative playing style and inappropriate statements caused Mourinho to lose the sympathy and respect of Man Utd fans.
The Premier League is about to start, with the current squad (Pogba and Martial will likely leave), it is too difficult for Man Utd to compete for the championship with Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea...
It is no surprise that some experts and betting companies in England predict that Mourinho will be fired by Man Utd soon./.
