Will José Mourinho’s gamble payoff?

Manchester United coach ever controversial in his approach to the game took a chance this season when he gave away the fight to make it into the top 4 rather opting to win the Europa League as a way of qualifying for the Champions League.

With about 10 games to go before the end of the season it is fair to say that United had a chance of a top 4 finish.

However it seems as if José took what is a very calculated decision and opted to go the Europa League route. It is quite the gamble considering their opponents in the final.

United will play Ajax Amsterdam tonight in Stockholm and if all goes well we might see the red devils back in the Champions League.

The coach though has delt with a lot of criticism, and has recently snubbed the media even snubbing MUTV ( Manchester United TV).

Kickoff is at 20:45 local time.
