Here at Metafootball, we have already called it as we see it, we do believe that Jose Mourinho has lost his touch as a manager since he was in Chelsea. It's only natural that any person who supports Manchester United in any way, tries to dismiss this idea but the statistics and numbers are there, and they are cold as ice. So far, Jose Mourinho has even worse numbers than those of David Moyes during his first few games as the boss.
Only time will tell if Mourinho will be able to get that flair back, but meanwhile ha has people like Gary Neville to defend him from any kind of criticism. The pundit told Sky Sports that: "I think we are judging Mourinho on a moment. You hear ridiculous things like: 'Has he lost his magic?' He won the league 18 months ago, he is one of the most successful managers of all time and he is only young in management terms. If Manchester United go and win the next four matches, Mourinho will be a genius again, they will say, and we are very quick these days to shoot managers, coaches, players down, particularly those who have built up enough credit to prove it over a long period of time.
"Ultimately, let him do his job, let him deliver. There is nothing to suggest he is not going to deliver here yet, in my mind. It is important that the club can stick by Jose for three years, let him do the work. There is evidence to suggest it is going to be tough, tougher than he thought. The other clubs are spending big money, have their house in order, good teams as well. And Manchester United are not going to have it all their own way unfortunately."
