No list of press conferences is complete without Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese manager is known for his directness and scathing attacks at football personalities. “The Special One” hasn’t had a good time in 2016 after being sacked by Chelsea and continuing his bad run at Manchester United. The Red Devils have drawn a great number of matches much to the ire of United fans who have been left disappointed with their team’s current form.

The Portuguese lost his cool post the Everton match after his team blew up a one-goal lead in the dying minutes of the game after substitute Fellaini conceded a penalty in the 88th minute. His frustration was visible as he went after the opposition with some not so nice words. The rant was a typical Mourinho meltdown and provided quite a laugh to fans of opposition teams. He also claimed to have not seen Marcos Rojo’s two footed challenge that resulted in a yellow card, although it seemed more like a red.

"You (reporters) have to make a decision," Mourinho said. "Because when my teams are playing pragmatic football and winning matches and titles, you say that is not right and nice. When my teams, like now, play very, very well, you say that what matters is to get results no matter what.”

Typical Mourinho, we would say.
