One of the lowest points for Jose Mourinho was his inability to manage the Man United dressing room. The Portuguese used to be one of the best man-managers in the sport, but he appears to have lost that aspect of his expertise.

At Real Madrid and Chelsea, his tenures were characterized by fallouts with players, as well as a whirl of negativity around the dressing room. Unfortunately, his Old Trafford spell ended in this same fashion.

He ended up calling out his players in the media at every opportunity. There were reports that he was not on good terms with as many as six first team players. Mourinho’s fallout with Paul Pogba, in particular, may have played a huge role in his sacking.

But his departure has cleared all that negativity that used to surround the Man United dressing room. On Thursday when the players arrived at Carrington for training, they looked more relaxed, as compared to previously with Mourinho in the dugout.
