3 Players who would want Jose Mourinho to stay on as Manchester United's manager

#1 Nemanja Matic

Matic is Jose Mourinho's pillar in the midfield.

Nemanja Matic won the Premier League twice with Chelsea before moving to Manchester United in 2017 on a three-year deal. He reunited with his former manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

Matic was one of Chelsea's best players in the 2014-15 title-winning campaign under Jose Mourinho.

In his first season with the Red Devils, the Serbian was exceptional. He was arguably United's best player last season which saw the Jose Mourinho' side having the second best defensive record in the league.

Mourinho regards him as one of the best players he has managed and most of the times praises the Serbian over anyone else. In the current campaign, he is yet to hit his full form, and there have been criticisms that Nemanja is slowing the game a bit, though Jose Mourinho does not have similar opinions.

The 30-year-old is a big admirer of Mourinho who will deal him a massive blow if a change of personnel takes place in the managerial position.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
