Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho slipped and fell during United’s match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst park. Though Mourinho was unhurt but cameras at the stadium caught the scene and the supporters also had something to laugh about.

As at the time of the fall, United were trailing the Eagles mid way through the match and Mourinho himself saw the funny side and immediately tried to laugh off the incident.

The Red Devils came from two goals down to seal a dramatic victory in injury time in an entertaining fixture with the London club. Nemanja Matic’s last gasp thunderbolt secured maximum points after a remarkable fight back and the victory also helped Mourinho forget an embarrassing moment of his own.

Andros Townsend opened scoring for Palace before Patrick van Aanholt doubled the advantage after the break.



The Red Devils wrestled back through Chris Smalling from a header before Romelo Lukaku restored parity and Matic got the all important winner.

United are back to second on the table as they prepare for the Liverpool fixture at Old Trafford as two points seperate them from Jurgen Klopp’s side. However, United are still trailing champions-elect, Manchester City, by 16 points despite the victory at Selhurt Park.

– It is believed the FA Cup finalists will announce Mourinho’s appointment by the end of the month

Jose Mourinho has rejected the offer to replace Manchester United coach Louis Van Gaal in 2017 instead reiterating his desire to the club to return to coaching this summer.

According to a report by The Sun, the former Chelsea coach believes he is closer than ever to being appointed Man Utd boss.

The Sun reports: “United chief Ed Woodward hoped Mourinho might accept the proposal and opt for a lucrative 12-month spell in the Chinese Super League ahead of a move to Manchester.

The approach to Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes came straight from the Old Trafford high command led by Woodward in the past fortnight.”

“The plan suggested Woodward is still reluctant to sanction cutting short Van Gaal’s three-year contract 12 months early because it would be further evidence of his error in appointing the Dutchman in the first place.
