Man Utd Captain Antonio Valencia Apologises After Liking 'Mourinho Out' Post on Social Media

Manchester United defender Antonio Valencia has apologised for liking a social media post which called for manager José Mourinho to be sacked following the club's 0-0 draw with Valencia on Tuesday.

The Ecuador international was doing the rounds in the aftermath of the match after it was revealed that an Instagram post that included "it's time for Mourinho to go" as part of the caption had been double tapped by the United captain.

Valencia has since tried to set the record straight by releasing a short statement on his official Twitter account on Wednesday. Although the defender admits that it was him who liked the social media post, he claims that he was unaware of the caption.
