By Richard KurtJose Mourinho has been in more than his fair share of make-or-break scrapes during his Old Trafford reign. Cue widespread night-long meltdown among the United observer community, led by an almost comically apoplectic Gary Neville on Sky Sports. Seventy minutes of quite utter ineptitude then followed, staggeringly awful and chaotic, even by the standards of this wretched season — followed by 20 minutes of frankly inexplicable brilliance and exhilaration. At the moment Sanchez’s winner went in, your venomous views of José, Woodward, the Glazers or the players were all suddenly immaterial and forgotten. José even sarkily mentioned Brexit in his press comments, during a self-pitying tirade about seemingly being held to blame for everything in British life these days.
