#1 He loves the club

Mourinho has always held a distinct admiration for Manchester United, even from his tenure as Chelsea boss, and despite being famed for his controversial snipes, the Old Trafford outfit had never been on the receiving end of his jibes.
He held a distinct respect for Sir Alex Ferguson, and always took out every opportunity to praise the legendary manager.
The Old Trafford job is one he had wanted for a long time, and on his unveiling thanked the board for making his dreams come true before stating that he is coaching the biggest club in the UK.
After the chastening 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, Mourinho went over to the fans and applauded them with a United scarf in his hand, pointing to the badge, and this was symbolic of the respect he has for the club.
The love and passion Mourinho has for United means that he would always have the club's best interests at heart, and he more than anyone else would fight tooth and nails to find a solution to the conundrum facing the club, and the board would do well to give Mourinho the time needed to sort out the issues at the club.
