Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been nominated for Premier League Manager of the Month, alongside Pep Guardiola of Manchester City, Everton’s Sam Allardyce, Darren Moore of West Brom Albion and Roy Hodgson of Crystal Palace.
In the month of April, Mourinho guided the Red Devils four wins in five matches, with their only defeat a 1-0 result at home to West Brom. A total of nine goals were scored across the five matches, with 5 goals conceded. The Red devils had 60 shots in total, with 20 on target for a conversion rate of 33%. In terms of possession, the team averaged 51.2% across all five games. Mourinho’s side will remain second in the Premier League table, as their City neighbors lifted the trophy last week. This is provided that they maintain their winning ways. Following a 2-1 win over rivals Arsenal, it is clear that Mourinho’s side is determined not to give any ground as they hold on to the second spot and Champions League qualification with only a few games remaining.

“With their win over Arsenal, Manchester United continue an 11 year streak, as they have not lost to Arsenal at home in 11 years. Another 2 – 1 win over rivals Tottenham allowed them to secure a ticket for the FA Cup finals, where they will face Chelsea on the 19th of May. “Defiantly worth a Bet” say – PromocodeJunkie.com – With Sporting Bet Promotional Codes
Mourinho, nicknamed the Special One, is known for his defensive style of play, which is evident in the low possession statistics displayed by the Red Devils under his tenure. He is famous for placing winning above style, saying that trophies will be remembered more than records will. Defensive midfielders are a very important element in his style of play. He has never lost both legs of a fixture in his entire managerial career, and astounding feat for any manager. The 63 year old Portuguese national is no stranger to controversy, and has been known to feud with other managers, including Antonio Conte of Chelsea, who he called a clown for his celebratory tactics during a game which the Red Devils lost to Chelsea. He also accused Conte of match fixing, prompting the Italian to retaliate by calling him little man. He is also known to call out anyone who criticizes his style of play. He does have a good relationship with his players, and is willing to spend pay huge fees for players he feels are valuable. This is evidenced by the then record-breaking £89 million transfer fee for midfielder Paul Pogba. He has been applauded for his ability to win trophies, and has won the league in all countries he has coached in. Guardiola once called him the best coach in the world.
Other nominees Darren Moore, Sam Allardyce, and Roy Hodgson played two wins and two draws during the month, while Pep Guardiola’s team lifted the Premier League trophy. The award for the month of March was received by Burnley’s Sean Dyche.
