In 2016, Manchester United appointed Jose Mourinho as their manager. In the very first season Mourinho ended up winning three trophies with the club- Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League. Even though United ended up 6th in the League, but by the virtue of winning the Europa League, United were back in the Champions League.
In the second season United ended up second in the league and were finalists in the F.A. Cup. Their victories against Liverpool and Manchester City were some of the memorable moments of the season. However the most disappointing part was their elimination from the round of 16 of the Champions League in the hands of Sevilla.
At the end of the season, Mourinho remarked that ending up second with the United was his best achievement as a Manager. For this he was mocked by a lot of his critics. In December, 2018 Jose was sacked by Manchester United because of poor results. The blame of failure was put on Mourinho.
Today its March 2022. Manchester United have been knocked out of the round of 16 of the Champions League. It is almost certain that Manchester United will end up trophy less this season. Its now 5 years since they last lifted a silverware. Managers are struggling to win a trophy with this squad. However there was one man who lifted not one, not two, but three trophies with this very struggling squad.
One can now realize how special Mourinho is.
