Jose Mourinho is on the brink of being sacked but his attitude remains on top of the world.
The media and the fans have turned on the heat against Jose Mourinho during the past week but the Manchester United manager has chosen to blame every wrongdoing on his players.
First, he had a public fall out with Paul Pogba following which he chose to criticize Alexis Sanchez.
And now the United boss seems to have taken Man United legend Paul Scholes in a very uncanny way.
Paul Scholes recently bashed Jose Mourinho publicly, criticizing the manager for flawed mentality saying:
“I’m actually sat here surprised he (Mourinho) survived after Saturday the performance was that bad,” said the former midfielder.
“He’s coming out in press conferences, he’s constantly having a go at players [and] he’s having a go at people above him because he’s not getting what he wants.
“I think his mouth is probably out of control and I think he’s embarrassing the club.”
Initially, Jose Mourinho chose to slide out of controversy by claiming he did not want to make any comments.
“I am not interested in that, I don’t need to know what Paul Scholes said,” Mourinho said.
“He has freedom of speech just like anyone else, just like the fans who were chanting ‘attack, attack’ in the second half.
“People can say what they like, especially Manchester United supporters because I respect their point of view.”
But like the character he is, Jose Mourinho finally decided to take a swipe at Paul Scholes in the most uncanny of ways.
After the 0-0 draw vs Valencia on Tuesday, cameras caught the United boss making gestures with his little finger which many fans believe was an attack at Paul Scholes.
And one Twitter user had the perfect reason why Jose Mourinho’s little finger wave was a jibe at Scholes.
I think Mourinho's little finger gesture was a come back at Paul Scholes criticism. Referring to when his knob popped out during a game#footballINDEX #mufc #scholes

IF Mourinho's little finger wave was a dig at Paul Scholes he should be sacked immediately. Of course he'll deny it and come up with some excuse but he's dragged this club through enough embarrassments now
