Jose Mourinho: Man Utd manager has watch that PERFECTLY sums him up
JOSE MOURINHO has come under fire during his time at Manchester United, and the "Special One's" motto could explain why he is never too far from controversy.
Jose Mourinho says Man United will 'compete' at Man City
The Red Devils have come a long way since they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Frank Lampard's Derby County earlier this season. In September, United fans were calling for Jose Mourinho to be sacked following several below-par performances and spats with star players including Paul Pogba. However, supporters now appear to have pulled a U-turn on the Portuguese boss after an impressive last few weeks capped with an away draw at Chelsea and a dramatic win in the Champions League over Juventus.
Jose Mourinho's choice of fashion accessories sums his season and managerial career up perfectly.
The 55-year-old has been known to wear a £15,000 De La Cour sports watch with his own personal touch.
The inscription on the back reads: "I am not afraid of the consequences of my actions."
They are ten words that sum up the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto manager – who famously fails to stay more than three years at one club.
I am not afraid of the consequences of my actions
His time at Stamford Bridge was clouded by feuds as his relationship with Roman Abramovich was questionable and he also offended club doctor Eva Carneiro during his second stint in charge.
He stayed true to his motto and got results despite the pressure.
During the 2014/15 season, he won the Premier League and Football League Cup with the Blues.
However, despite reaching heights of success, he still ended up walking away from Chelsea in 2015 after being fired by Abramovich.
Jose Mourinho hails 'fantastic' victory against Juventus
The next season the Glazer family gave Mourinho a chance and he took over from Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.
He is now in his third season at the club, having splashed out almost £400m on bringing in ten players.
Man Utd will return to Premier League action this Saturday when they host Crystal Palace.
