Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend with a fixture at Sunderland. Sunday afternoon will see United take on David Moyes, yes “the chosen one” himself, who was such an abysmal failure at Old Trafford that he didn’t even last a full season on the job.
Moyes is trouble again with the Black Cats, as his side is in 20th place out of 20. Relegation realities are very real, and to top it all of, Moyes got into a little bit of trouble for comments made to a female reporter at a press conference.
Mourinho is not in trouble for any of the comments he made at his press conference today, where he gave a match fitness, injury update:
“Wayne Rooney is not available. Ashley Young is injured, and no more news because Mata, Smalling and Jones you already what you are speaking about,” Mourinho said.
