If Jose Mourinho wants to be remembered as one of football’s best ever managers, then he needs to ride off into the sunset now.
Thankfully for all us non-Manchester United-supporting fans, he won’t. Which means the (not so) Special One will continue to fail miserably at trying to fit Paul Pogba into his Red Devils XI?.
An embarrassing – yet hardly surprising – 18 months of self-destruction looks to be undoing Mourinho’s reputation. However, it’s important not to forget what the former Real Madrid man has achieved in the game, especially given some of the awful players he’s had at his disposal.
Winston Bogarde – Barcelona
Whilst Assistant Manager at Barca, Mourinho had the pleasure of dealing with the bloke who would go on to be dubbed the worst Premier League signing ever. Image Source: Twitter
Hugo Almeida – Porto
Like a lot of strikers on the European mainland, we have been told Almeida is great, for years. He's not. Image Source: Twitter
Alexei Smertin – Chelsea
Looks like he should be in the top 10 of female tennis players. Image Source: Twitter
Asier Del-Horno – Chelsea
Why does the Spaniard look like Wayne Bridge, here? Image Source: Twitter
Ben Sahar – Chelsea
Chelsea had actually convinced themselves that the Israeli and Scott Sinclair were the future of the club. Image Source: Twitter
Scott Sinclair – Chelsea
Part of me just knows that Sinclair still believes he's good enough for Man City. Image Source: chelseanews24
Carlton Cole – Chelsea
Cole is legit deemed one of West Ham's greatest ever strikers! Image Source: Twitter
Jiri Jarosik – Chelsea
Useful in Scrabble. Rubbish at football. Image Source: Twitter
Khalid Boulahrouz – Chelsea
One of those names that sounds like you've been told to work out your 'porn name' from the name of your first pet and place of birth. Image Source: Twitter
Mikael Forssell – Chelsea
No, honestly, he genuinely existed. Image Source: Twitter
Victor Obinna – Inter Milan
With one t-shirt, the striker has managed to support a great cause and more-or-less summed up his strike rate. Image Source: Join1Gol
Joselu – Real Madrid
As bad as you'd expect a bloke that now can't get into Stoke's first-team. Image Source: Twitter
Marouane Fellaini
Best part about the Belgian being at United, is Mourinho - in true Mourinho style - is trying to prove a point by playing him; trying to show that he knows better than most. Long may that continue. Liability. Image Source: Twitter
Jesse Lingard – Manchester United
Fun fact for you: there's actually Red Devils fans, out there, that can keep a straight face when saying that Lingard is good. Image Source: Twitter
A list of potential Halloween costumes next season. But what also amazes me about such lists, is the fact there really always will be another club who wants a footballer, no matter how painfully bad they’re.
Have a look at Mourinho’s slightly better group of players, with his combined ultimate XI along with good old pal, Arsene Wenger…
Petr Cech (GK)
The Premier League's best ever 'keeper. Image Source: SportPesa
Lucio (CB)
Part of Inter's Champions League-winning side with Mourinho. In the current era of overhyping Brazilian centrebacks like David Luiz, Lucio would be seen as a God if he was at his peak today. Image Source: Sempreinter
Tony Adams MBE (CB)
'Mr. Arsenal' was inevitably going to be in the heart of our three-man defence; an outstanding leader and a winner. Image Source: Galaxia Futebolistica
Lillian Thuram (CB)
You forget just how impressive the Frenchman was. Image Source : Youtube
Patrick Vieira (LDM)
The captain. Image Source: ArsenalArsenal.net
Xabi Alonso (RDM)
Every team needs a player who can ping a ball from anywhere and to anywhere. Image Source: ThisIsAnfield
Deco (AMC)
A maestro from Jose's miracle of a Champions League win. Image Source: Publicopt
Cristiano Ronaldo (LM)
The team wouldn't be very credible without this man. Image Source: YouTube
Luis Figo (RM)
Figo completes our pair of Portuguese wingers. Not too bad at all! If this team was to play in the Premier League, the likes of Alberto Moreno would have a nightmare - well, even more than he's already having. Image Source: IFFHS
Didier Drogba (ST)
A nightmare for Liverpool fans. A cheat, but an unquestionably good player. Drogba was a menace upfront for any team. He's got it all really. Image Source: Fusion.net
Thierry Henry (ST)
If Henry wasn't upfront for our team here, there was no point putting it together. Image Source: Gentside Sport
