MU knocked out of C1, Mourinho's statement causes outrage

The Portuguese strategist had carefully calculated his gamble to get a ticket to the quarter-finals of C1. However, the plan to eliminate the guests Sevilla failed, on the contrary, MU was stunned within 4 minutes of the second half and conceded 2 goals. Therefore, even though Lukaku scored and shortened the score later, everything was too late.

In the first leg, which ended in a 0-0 draw, MU was widely criticized for its lackluster performance. It was thought that the morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Saturday would help Mourinho's team perform brilliantly in the Champions League. However, the result was very disappointing: the Red Devils stopped early. In both matches (180 minutes), MU had only 4 shots on target.

Needless to say, MU fans were disappointed after their team soon lost the chance to compete with Man City in the Premier League.

However, Mourinho's statement has caused outrage, leading some to demand his dismissal from the "hot seat" at the Theatre of Dreams. According to the former Chelsea coach, MU's elimination is not a strange thing.

"Of course, losing is a disappointment, but I don’t think the team played badly. I’ve been in this chair twice and eliminated United, when I was in charge of Porto and Real Madrid. So, it’s not surprising that United have been kicked out of the European stage.

The players were all sad about the defeat and I was glad for that, they didn't hide their emotions.

But we don't have much time to be sad, because we have another important game on Saturday (against Brighton in the FA Cup quarter-finals). That's football, being eliminated is not the end of the world. Tomorrow is another day.".
