Man Utd and Fenerbahce drew 1-1 after the 3rd match of the 2024-25 Europe League. The highlight of this match was the red card of coach Jose Mourinho for protesting. This was the 7th red card in the coaching career of the "Special One", making him the coach with the most dismissals in football history.
Mourinho received a red card and was sent to the stands in the draw with Man Utd.
After the draw with Man Utd, Mourinho sarcastically criticized referee Clement Turpin: "He said a lot of interesting things. He said he could watch the collision in the penalty area and watch my movements on the touchline at the same time. At this moment, I can only congratulate the referee, because he is really special, Mr. Turpin's vision is extraordinary.
In the middle of the game, everything moves at breakneck speed, but he has one eye on the penalty area and one eye on the bench, watching my actions. That's what he explains. This is why Mr. Turpin is the best referee in the world ."
In the 56th minute, Manuel Ugarte collided with Bright Osayi-Samuel, causing the Fenerbahce player to fall in the penalty area. The "Special One" immediately reacted to the fourth referee, demanding a penalty for the home team. However, the main referee Clement Turpin did not blow the penalty and did not check VAR again.
Mourinho received a red card and had to go to the stands to watch the rest of the match. Here, he continued his work through notes sent to his assistants. The match gradually "cooled down" after Mourinho left the field. Fenerbahce and Man Utd did not score any more goals. Man Utd opened the scoring thanks to Christian Eriksen, but Fenerbahce did not give up, finding an equalizer in the second half thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri.
Coach Mourinho praised his players: "People often only pay attention to which players the English teams are missing, who is injured, and do not care about smaller teams like us. I lost many players for different reasons. Today's starting lineup was like doing a jigsaw puzzle. However, the team's performance was extraordinary. I could not ask for more from the players."
Mourinho is close to coach Erik Ten Hag.
The Portuguese coach also affirmed that Fenerbahce played better than Man Utd: "Man Utd kept a point against us, not the other way around. We played well. Even though it was a draw, this is still a good result for Man Utd. If Fenerbahce continues to play like today, the team will destroy all opponents in the national championship."
After 15 matches in charge of Fenerbahce, coach Mourinho has helped the team win 8 matches, draw 5 matches and only lost 2 matches. Fenerbahce is currently ranked 4th in the national championship, ranked 14th out of 36 teams in the Europa League.
Mourinho is known as a strategist with a strong personality and determination. During his 3 years leading AS Roma, Mourinho received 3 red cards for reacting to the referee.
