Manchester United have finally got back to winning ways after suffering to back to back defeats in the Premier League.
The Red Devils started the new season with a win over Leicester City but then suffered two embarrassing defeats to Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
This week though they turned around the tables and beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor.
Romelu Lukaku scored both the goals for Jose Mourinho’s side but the team should have scored atleast four goals if Pogba hadn’t missed a penalty and Romelu Lukaku hadn’t failed to put the ball in the back of an empty net.
All in all, this was a comfortable victory for United but what happened after the game has gotten the tongues wagging.
As soon as the match ended, Jose Mourinho decided to walk down to the travelling away section and then walked in amongst the fans to hand over his jacket to a lucky one.
Here’s the video:
Mourinho applauds the United away end and hands his jacket to a fan after the game. Top class.

But this is Jose Mourinho we are talking about so anything that he does will have controversies written all around it.
So does this gesture.
After this video was posted on the internet a large section of the fans have come out to applaud the manager but on the other hand a number of fans think of this as a clever plan from Jose to bring the fans on his side – more so when the management seems to have distanced himself from the boss.
No manager has received Applause Post Fergie, like José Mourinho at Manchester United. Cos the real match going fans know the shit the previous three did.

He's clever and giving the board a dilemma. I truly believe they don't want him but can't find a way apart from not backing him to get shut. Jose playing a blinder getting the fans more on side every week& turning the attention towards the hierarchy. 1 winner in the end though

Mourinho going to away fans and giving his Jacket to one of them and giving HiFi to fans shows how much this game meant to him.
He is our Manager! #BURMUN— Manchester United⚽ (@Mum_United) September 2, 2018
#Mourinho going over to the fans at FT and then giving one his jacket. Good management strategy to keep fans on his side, fans are standing by him and chanting his name!

And just to put this all into context the Manchester United fans flew a banner over Turf Moor on Sunday which was directed at Ed Woodward branding him as a specialist in failure.
