They think his response was ’embarrassing’ and ‘idiotic’.
Yesterday night Manchester exited the Champions League as they lost 2-1 at home to Sevilla.
Understandably the Portuguese has received widespread criticism for his part in the defeat.
However, besides the performance itself, fans are also enraged by the way he appeared to shrug off the defeat in the post-match conference.
Speaking after the game, the Portuguese suggested early exit in the competition was not out of the ordinary for United.
“I’ve sat in this chair twice before in the Champions League, and I knock Man Utd out at home twice, with Porto – Man Utd out, and with Real Madrid – Man Utd out.
“So this is nothing new for this football club. I don’t want to make a drama out of it, we don’t have time for that.
“We have a match on Saturday, we have no time to be sad for more than 24 hours.
“And that’s football, it’s not the end of the world.”
How can our coach say this, if I had power I will sack this man instantly, this statement is embarrassing and idiotic
Mourinho: “I sat in this chair with Porto – Man Utd out. I sat in this chair with Real Madrid – Man Utd out. It's not something new for this club."

Yes, he really did say this. It’s an insult to fans. Mourinho: “I don't want to make a drama of it. That’s football, it is not the end of the world. I sit in this chair twice in the CL and knocked Man United out with Porto and Real Madrid so it is not something new for the club.
