'You're not special anymore!' - Chelsea fans mock Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho

1/33
Standard Sport23 October 2016

Jose Mourinho may have admitted before Sunday's return to Stamford Bridge that his status as the Special One is on the line at Manchester United, and his former adoring Chelsea fans certainly let him know it.

The Portuguese coach's first match against Chelsea as United boss started in disastrous fashion as Pedro opened the scoring after just 30 seconds - the fastest Premier League goal of the season so far.

Worse was to come for United as Moruinho's side struggled to make an impact in the opening exchanges, with Gary Cahill capitalising on a defensive mistake at a corner to thrash home the hosts' second and give Antonio Conte's men a decisive edge.

If Mourinho was looking for sympathy from the Chelsea fans, he wasn't about to get any as the Stamfird Bridge faithful chanted: "You're not special anymore!"

Mourinho had said of his 'Special' status before the game: "Connections start before titles are won but it is success that brings empathy between the supporters and managers and makes that connection become really strong.

"I have a three-year contract here and if I am here for three years the people will know that I have given everything to the club and that I am a professional and dedicated coach who gives himself 24 hours a day to United.

"But if, at the end of the three years, I don't win a single piece of silverware for them, they will say 'great guy, good coach, we like him, but we feel nothing special about him'."
