While the likes of Pogba and Sanchez will likely flourish post-Mourinho, the likes of Fellaini and McTominay may not find life quite so easy
It has been done. Jose Mourinho has been relieved from his duties at Manchester United, the Portuguese manager descending into something almost like a parody of himself as his horror-show of a season continued to unfold mercilessly beneath him.
He is the prime example of a cartoon villain come to life, and it is only a shame that the end of his reign in Manchester had to come so soon – with his Premier League loss to Merseyside rivals Liverpool being the final straw for the club's board.
