Manchester United returns: The mark of the 'Special One'!

(Baonghean.vn) - After a period of having to accept undesirable results. The Red Devils of Manchester are making an impressive comeback with a series of 5 consecutive wins.

More importantly, the 'Special One' is making a strong impression and proving to the media and fans that the relationship between Mourinho and the Old Trafford team is starting to "blossom and bear fruit".

The Red Devils of Manchester entered this season with the hope of regaining the “lost glory” since the strategist Sir Alex officially said goodbye to the Old Trafford team. In fact, they also started the season very impressively by defeating defending champions Leicester City in the Super Cup match and having 3 consecutive victories in the Premier League at the beginning of the season.

After that impressive streak of form, many “Red Devils” fans had high hopes that the predestined relationship between Manchester United and “The Special One” Mourinho would soon bear fruit. However, since the humiliating defeat to their arch-rivals in the Manchester derby in round 4, Mourinho’s team was no longer themselves, they had lost the spirit of the team that had an impressive start.

Instead, the former Chelsea coach's team went through a series of 7 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory, even losing 3 consecutive matches in all competitions. Because of that, "The Special One" Mourinho unintentionally became the focus of criticism from the media and fans.

The "Special One" Mourinho is expected to become a worthy successor to the seat left by Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, since the victory over a tough opponent like Tottenham, the Red Devils of Manchester have made a very impressive comeback when they defeated Crystal Palace, West Brom, Sunderland and Middlesbrough to extend their winning streak in the Premier League to 5 consecutive matches. An achievement that no coach has been able to repeat since the season when Sir Alex said goodbye to the Red Devils in 2012.

In fact, since the “Special One” Mourinho officially took the “hot seat” at Old Trafford. This strategist has also made his own mark by bringing in 4 new contracts, namely Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the world’s most expensive player Paul Pogba.

Up to now, the four new contracts mentioned above have all become pillars in Manchester United's increasingly improved playing style. Eric Bailly is a reliable stopper in defense, Paul Pogba is gradually becoming the soul of the midfield, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is Manchester United's number 1 striker, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also becoming a source of creativity with intelligent and technical playing style in the Red Devils of Manchester's attack.

That proves that Mourinho is more skillful than his predecessors of the Red Devils in selecting new personnel for the team.

In addition to his success in the transfer market, the Portuguese strategist also made a great contribution in "reviving" many players who seemed to have no future at Old Trafford. Under his reign, Mourinho created fair competition among players, he always created opportunities for those who tried and strived. For that reason, a series of players who seemed to have no future at Manchester United have "revived" strongly.

Examples include Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick, Matteo Darmian, Valencia and even Fellaini. Grasping the opportunities that coach Mourinho trusted to give them, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick, Matteo Darmian, Valencia… are in very good form, taking their official positions and becoming pillars in Manchester United's recent series of excellent performances.

In addition, Manchester United under Mourinho is gradually regaining the image of the "Red Devils" under Sir Alex Ferguson. With high-speed passing, lightning-fast counter-attacks, and an uncompromising fighting spirit, Manchester United players are gradually showing fans the image of a Red Devil of Manchester that once terrified the Premier League and Europe under coach Sir Alex.

Although the somewhat belated return of the Red Devils of Manchester has made the dream of reaching the pinnacle of glory for the post-Sir Alex era winner more distant when the season has already passed half way. However, with the marks that the "special one" Mourinho has made and is making at Old Trafford. Red Devils of Manchester fans have the right to hope that the Portuguese strategist will build a new successful empire for the Red Devils of Manchester in the near future.
