MANCHESTER UNITED IN CRISIS, MOURINHO HUMILIATED YET AGAIN

Jose Mourinho's Man United 'redemption work'
is now in tatters. Following a transfer outlay of
almost £150m (almost £100m for Paul Pogba
alone), and three losses in the last three games
(Man city, Feyernord, and Watford) it's safe to
say Jose Mourinho's dream of making the club
the World's most feared club is kinda fading.
The last time Manchester United was beaten by
Watford was almost 30 years ago, so one might
start to wonder will Mourinho break records
negatively just like his predecessors Louis van
Gaal and David Moyes?
Despite a Rashford equaliser, goals from
Etienne Capoue, Suniga and a penalty by
Deeney were enough to secure three points for
Watford.
Watford started the first twenty minutes in
impressive form with Ighalo missing a sitter and
Deeney testing the goal keeper but it wasn't
long before the first goal of the encounter
came. Martial collecting the ball after a corner
kick tried to contol the ball with his team mate
Luke Shaw overlapping on the left side
anticipating a pass from Martial, Martial was
well tackled before a pass from the right side
found Capoue who slotted the ball calmly into
the net.
Watford's tactics of playing with Ighalo and
Deeney pressing Man U's wingers worked in the
first half and left the Old Trafford club
frustrated in the first half. Martial suffered a
concussion and was substituted before halftime
by Ashley Young- a Watford native.
Man U resumed the second half with still no
changes, Mourinho tried to alternate the shape
of the team by urging Rashford and Rooney to
play more centrally and it paid off in the 62nd
minute as Rashford scored after some good
footwork by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Zlatan, Mata and Pogba occasionally showed
flashes of brilliance but it all wasn't enough.
Watford stunned Man U again in the 84th
minute when substitute Zuniga scored the
London's club second goal of the day. Mourinho
introduced Depay to salvage soething out of the
game but it was as pointless as it was
worthless.
Fellaini then commited a foul in Man U's
penalty area in extratime and Watford captain
Troy Deeney didn't waste time in slotting the
ball past goalkeeper David De Gea.
If Mourinho doesn't want the fans to turn on
him, he should start delivering... and fast..
There are a whole lot of things £150m could
get you, but today's performance isn't one of
them.
