The "Guardian" commented that the old lieutenant's injury and the 0:4 score had already brought Manchester United's Champions League trip to an early end this season.Manchester United's goal of a quadruple title this season appears to be out of reach.
The "Sun", which is known for its poisonous tongue, even commented: Rebuilding the Manchester United dynasty is by no means something that Mourinho or an old lieutenant can accomplish.It will take five years, ten years or more.More likely, it's a goal that can never be achieved.Gone is Ferguson's invincible Manchester United in the late 90s.

In ten days, Manchester United will host Barcelona.Before that, they ushered in the Premier League double red meeting and played against Liverpool at home.
Carrington Training Base.Players are training in groups against each other.
In the stands of the training ground, Manchester United chairman Woodward and coach Mourinho are sitting.
Woodward said: "Jose, in the next double red game, you should send all the main players to face Liverpool, right? The Champions League has lost the possibility of qualifying, I think our focus should be on the league! We are almost certain To be able to win the Premier League championship this season. Now what we have to do is to refresh a series of records in the league. For example, you set a record of 95 championship points in the Premier League when you led Chelsea. For example, the record of winning rounds in advance."
Mourinho smiled at Woodward, noncommittal.
Woodward added: "Jose, the team's board of directors has decided to renew your contract for one year in advance. Although we can't go further in the Champions League this year. But a Premier League title that is firmly in hand, plus a very likely The FA Cup and the League Cup. If you can win the Triple Crown, you can satisfy the fans and the board of directors. It is not a shame to lose to Barcelona in the Champions League. After all, they are the most dominant team in Europe in the past ten years. Retire To put it another way, Manchester United is the only Premier League seed in the Champions League quarter-finals. This is enough for us to be proud of."
Mourinho turned his head and looked at Woodward with a serious face: "I plan to send a substitute lineup in the double red meeting. I still plan to use the main lineup for the second round against Barcelona."
"What?" Woodward looked surprised: "Does this put the cart before the horse? The Double Red Club is the most watched game in the Premier League over the years. Why abandon the Double Red Club, save the strength of the main players, and prepare for a game with all your strength? Meaningful game?"
Mourinho looked at the players on the field and said to Woodward: "When I first came to Manchester United, Bart and I did not have a good relationship. He said in public that Mourinho did not understand the spirit of Manchester United. Later, he was promoted from reserve team coach to assistant coach. The two of us got in touch with each other a lot and fell in love with each other's personality. Some time ago, I invited Bart to the bar for a drink. I asked him: We always talk about the spirit of Manchester United. We always say that the glory belongs to Manchester United. What is the Manchester United spirit? What is the glory?"
Mourinho paused, stood up, and pointed to the assistant coach Bart on the training ground: "He told me. The spirit of Manchester United can be summed up in two sentences - Never give up (never give up), Never surrender ( Never surrender). In 1958, the Munich Air Disaster, Europe's first-class giants Manchester United lost all their main players and became a second-rate team in England. Sir Busby did not give up, and it took ten years to lead Manchester United to the top of the Champions League. Ding... He interpreted the spirit of Manchester United, never give up! Never surrender! So Sir Busby will always be remembered by Manchester United fans."
Mourinho sat back in his seat: "What is glory? Bart told me that glory is not necessarily a shiny championship trophy. Do your best in desperation, fight for the honor of Manchester United in adversity, This is also a kind of glory! Perhaps no team in Europe dares to charge Barcelona with four or five goals in a game. Maybe we have indeed lost hope of qualifying. But in this game, we will fight for the glory of Manchester United I have made a decision. I will play against Liverpool with a substitute lineup. The main players will retain their strength and prepare for the game against Barcelona!"
Woodward was infected by Mourinho's words: "Jose. I am relieved that you can say this. I have served Manchester United for decades. I love this team as much as Butt. Whether you Whatever decisions you make, as the chairman of the club, I will do my best to support you!"
Just as the two were saying this, a familiar figure limped and appeared on the training ground.
Woodward said in surprise: "Old lieutenant? Why did he come to the training ground? Didn't the doctor tell him to rest in peace for a month?"
Mourinho saw that a group of disciples surrounded Liu Yun.Then the group confrontation continued.Liu Yun started jogging on the sidelines.
Woodward stood up.
Mourinho asked: "What are you going to do?"
Woodward replied: "I will order him as the chairman of the club to go home and rest!"
Mourinho pressed Woodward's shoulder: "No, let the old lieutenant go! If there is one person in this world who has the true Manchester United spirit, then this person must be the old lieutenant!"
Liu Yun gritted his teeth and jogged.He has only one belief in his heart, resume training one day earlier, play one day earlier, and put on his No. 46 jersey for Manchester United one day earlier.
Manchester United teammates are deeply inspired by the spirit of the old lieutenant jogging on the sidelines.
