Jose Mourinho's Manchester United were held to their 4th consecutive home draws after match week 13, West Ham opened the scoring in the 2nd minute through an indirect free kick. Manchester United levelled the score when a beautiful work from Paul Pogba was finished off by Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make the scores 1-1 by the 22nd minute.
Paul Pogba was later book by the referee for an alleged diving after he almost successfully took on 3 West Ham players, Pogba showed a sign of shock when the referee blew the whistle against him and showed him the yellow card. Jose Mourinho on the other hand was highly frustrated on the touch lines as he displayed his aggression by kicking a water bottle, he then received his marching orders by the referee as he was sent to the stands for the rest of the game.
It's no news that Mourinho is a passionate and very controversial manager, he speaks his mind whenever he needs to and bears the consequence afterwards. But ever since his return to the Premier League at Manchester United, the English FA has made sure that he constantly gets bullied in other to surpress his ego and 'humble' him. There was no reason to send a manager to the stands for displaying furstration that can only be birthed from the passion he has for the big game, he neither caused any damage nor abused anybody physically. But as always, the referee's decision is always final.
Jose hopes to bounce back from this low morale, beef up his squad and make sure he is able to challenge for something soon. We wish him well
