MANCHESTER UNITED SCARVES with Jose Mourinho’s face and ‘The Special One’ emblazoned on them are on sale outside Old Trafford ahead of this evening’s game against Chelsea.
Stall holders at the Theatre of Dreams are clearly anticipating a managerial change and have wasted little time in getting ahead of the game by selling Mourinho merchandise.
Although let’s hope this vendor didn’t order too many, as there is a pretty significant typo on the garment.
Louis van Gaal is still of course the Man United manager, although his position is looking increasingly precarious after presiding over four consecutive defeats.
The Dutchman’s future is decidedly uncertain and many observers believe the teatime fixture against Chelsea is his final chance to save his job. Some reports suggest he’ll lose his job regardless of tonight’s result.
Since his sacking by the Blues earlier this month, Mourinho has been heavily linked with the managerial post at Old Trafford as the club look to salvage their season and reverse their fortunes.
In his programme notes, van Gaal admitted his side have admitted the last few weeks have been extremely difficult for everyone associated with Man United.
