Manchester United, Mourinho and football heritage: Solskjaer can prove his predecessor right by beating Sevilla

The Portuguese was correct when he called for wholesale changes at Old Trafford but he wasn't the right man to oversee them

When Manchester United were dumped out of the Champions League in 2018 by Sevilla, it was a watershed moment for Jose Mourinho.

The 2-1 loss at Old Trafford effectively signalled the beginning of the end of the Portuguese manager's tenure.

Of course, elimination at the last-16 stage of the Champions League isn't always reason enough to start considering a change of coach, but there were so many issues with United's performances in both legs of the tie, chief among them the team selection and the style of play.
