'DISGRACEFUL'

UTD FANS ARE RON SONG

Much like boss Jose Mourinho, the home faithful delivered an honest verdict as United were left with just four points from their first three Champions League group games.

MARTIAL LAW

ANTHONY MARTIAL will start against Juventus, Jose Mourinho has told him.

The Frenchman repaid the Special One's new found faith in him by striking twice in United's 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

I WANT MOUR

ANTHONY MARTIAL is keen to sign a new Manchester United deal – even if Jose Mourinho stays at the club.

The French winger was linked with an Old Trafford departure in the summer as his relationship with the Special One appeared to sour.

IAN THE MAN

JOSE MOURINHO'S bust up with Marco Ianni could be exactly the spark the Special One needed to revive Manchester United's fortunes, SunSport columnist Ian Wright believes.

MILAN MAGIC

MANCHESTER UNITED have been alerted to the availability of promising Inter Milan centre-back Milan Skriniar.

Ron, 33, said: "I can remember I won lots here. Cups and leagues. "The support was fantastic."

LEO-NO GO FOR JOSE

The world-class centre-back has revealed he was targeted by Jose Mourinho despite struggling to impress during his season's loan with at AC Milan.

DON'T STAIN MARC

JOSE MOURINHO says it is time to lay off Marco Ianni and has dismissed calls for the Chelsea coach to be sacked.

Ianni sparked a melee at the mouth of the Stamford Bridge tunnel on Saturday after celebrating in front of the Manchester United boss when Ross Barkley plundered a late equaliser in the 2-2 draw.

JOSE IN NEW DIGS

MANCHESTER UNITED have changed their team hotel on the eve of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Juventus.

The Red Devils were forced to request a delayed kick-off against Valencia after their team bus was delayed by 45 minutes due to bad traffic in the city centre.

A SPECIAL ONE

CRISTIANO RONALDO has been hailed as one of the all-time greats by his former boss Jose Mourinho.

MOUR TO COME

JOSE MOURINHO has shut down rumours of a sensational move back to Real Madrid and insisted he is eyeing a new deal at Old Trafford.

LOVE EIGHT RELATIONSHIP

ANTHONY MARTIAL may have saved Jose Mourinho's job as his equaliser helped Manchester United to a stunning 3-2 comeback win over Newcastle two weeks ago.

But he also cost the club £8.7m as that strike meant the Red Devils had to pay the latest instalment to Monaco following his transfer three years ago.

BACK FOR MOUR

REAL MADRID chiefs reckon Jose Mourinho is their best bet to replace Julen Lopetegui, according to reports.

Los Blancos are ready to swing the axe after a humiliating home defeat to Levante made it four losses in five games.
