Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has always been known to speak what he feels rather than carefully using his words in an interview. In a recent encounter with a social media sensationalist as well as a journalist Piers Morgan, the Portguese manager couldn’t resist passing a cheeky comment at the Gunners.
The former Chelsea manager supposedly ‘feels sorry’ for Arsenal fans for having Arsene Wenger as their manager. This is according to Piers Morgan himself who is a renowned Arsenal fan and a true advocate of the ‘Wenger Out’ campaign at the club.
Morgan recently disclosed that he ran into Mourinho in the classy departmental store Harrods in London after the Gunners were beaten 4-0 by Liverpool. The TV presenter discussed their 20 minute chat in his column at Daily Mail.

Piers Morgan wrote that Mourinho stated, “I feel so sorry for you Arsenal fans. I have some very good friends who love Arsenal like you do and they are just as depressed as you about the club. They suffer so badly, it is a terrible thing to observe.” Mourinho then burst out laughing saying “Terrible… hahahahaha.”
The journalist then expressed his shock at Wenger still being Arsenal manager and stated, ”
How the hell is Arsene Wenger still in his job?”
Mourinho then cheekily replied, “No idea. But I hope he stays in it for a very long time…”
Morgan then uploaded the photo to his Instagram handle and captioned it as follows:
“So there I was wandering around Harrods trying to cheer myself up from 3 broken ribs & Arsenal’s disintegration.. when I bump into the best manager in the world. Great to see you, Jose. Just wish you were our manager.”
