ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jose Mourinho is heading for the Sunshine State with Manchester United, but it might be time to be prepare for rain and storms when he arrives in Miami ahead of Tuesday's friendly against Real Madrid.

Nothing, it seems, can lighten the United manager's mood right now, and after his team suffered a 4-1 International Champions Cup defeat against Liverpool in Ann Arbor, Florida might want to brace itself for Hurricane Jose later this week.

He has cut an unhappy figure throughout United's two-week trip to the U.S., finding fault with an array of issues since arriving in California earlier this month.

And in Ann Arbor, he complained once again about the strength and depth of his tour squad and the lack of summer signings, the standard of the officials -- "baseball referees," Mourinho claimed -- and even questioned why more than 101,000 fans bothered to pay to watch this game between English football's two biggest clubs.

Mourinho is finding fault with everything but accepting responsibility for none of it, and it is beginning to wear thin.

Having been in charge for two years now, to suggest after this game that he learned nothing from it does not bode well for the young players in his squad who are attempting to persuade Mourinho they can have a future at Old Trafford during this tour.

Andreas Pereira, whose first-half free kick hauled United level following Sadio Mane's penalty opener, was impressive in midfield. Timothy Fosu-Mensah also suggested he could cover for the injured Antonio Valencia and Diogo Dalot at right-back.

Both players spent last season on loan at Valencia and Crystal Palace, respectively, but having said before the game that five of his starting lineup would be loaned out again, Mourinho's post-match comments suggested that neither even had a chance of persuading him that they can be valuable members of his squad this year.

Where Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, used his post-match news conference to praise the likes of Sheyi Ojo and Ben Woodburn as youngsters with a promising future, Mourinho could find nothing positive to say about United's emerging players.

Mourinho is 99.9 %right and 0.1 % wrong in the way he’s handling this. Not one bonafide player is sign to Manchester United this preseason, unlike Arsenal , City, Liverpool , Barcelona, Roma, inter etc etc signees. Champs league season around the corner with no squad upgrades. Who wouldn’t be frustrated!!!!!!

Note: only Fred.

Bruh so because he didn't get any new players other than Fred, he's gotta turn into a pouting toddler?
Man. City bought just one player so far - Mahrez
Chelsea bought one player so far- Jorginho

AND the transfer window isn't over YET! It's not like the window is closed already and no more deals can be made until January. There's still time. Yet he's whining and complaining and throwing shade at everyone and everything smh.

It's the third year. If he doesn't win it now he never will.

Klopp, the United squad, the board, the fans, the media. He's after everybody.

He knows Klopp and Liverpool will be the top competitor for City. Not him and his team. I'm not looking forward to watching Man. united matches again this season. I say this as a United fan. I'm looking forward to watching Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and City. I hope they all lose but at least I know they all will play good, entertaining footy unlike United.

City liteirally do not need to buy anyone, their team is stacked all the way through... Fact is United do need to strengthen in multiple positions... But still Jose's moaning is getting on my nerves...
 
Although it looks funny, Bron can get away wit that fit. City boys look like grown school boys on a school trip...lol
