Man United Legend Gary Neville Says He Loved Jose Mourinho's Celebrations Against Juventus
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that manager Jose Mourinho is impossible in both victory and defeat, and claimed that there was nothing wrong with him taunting the Juventus fans after the game.
Mourinho was reportedly insulted throughout the game as fans chanted against him and when his team completed an unlikely comeback win, he cupped his hand on his ear in an apparent gesture to signal he couldn't hear them.
While other former players were more critical of Mourinho's gesture, Neville found nothing wrong with it, and insisted that the reaction was a positive display of passion.
He told Sky Sports, “Some people might may not like that but I love that about him. I think there should be reaction and passion at the end of a match. I even like his reaction at the end of the game against Newcastle, which the FA have appealed against."
Gary Neville on Mourinho: "The idea of seeing him cup the hand to the fans at the end of the game - some people might not like it. That's what I love about him. That's what I love about football."
That’s my manager. #MUFC
“To me, Jose's best qualities were always that he was impossible when he was losing and impossible when he was winning and it was always enthralling to watch and he always brought everyone along the line.
“When I think of him in the press conference after the Juventus game and some of the one liners he came out with, compared to where he was a few weeks ago, and the day before the Newcastle game, that's a massive difference. He has hung in there and shown determination,” he concluded.
It remains to be seen if the Juventus win will boost Manchester United's confidence enough for them to get back in the top four and possibly, the title race, considering they are currently in seventh place on the Premier League table.
