Manchester United's performance against Juventus may not have been what some expected, but after a comeback win, who cares about how you earned that result?
Juan Mata and an own goal by Bonucci gave the Red Devils three crucial points in their quest to land a spot in the next stage of the UEFA Champions League, giving Jose Mourinho a chance to troll rival fans with a controversial gesture.
Reports from journalists inside the stadium stated that Mourinho endured insults and jeers from Juve fans throughout the game, but when the final whistle was blown, the Special One had the last laugh, as he trolled the Old Lady's supporters by cupping his ear, in a clear gesture that hinted he couldn't "hear" their insults.

Contrary to what some could expect, Mourinho's gesture earned quite a bit of praise for The Special One, mainly due to the number of insults he had to endure throughout the game.
Jose Mourinho loved that one.

On a serious note, this sport would only be half as fun without José Mourinho. The pantomime villain more often than not, he provides great entertainment. Tonight no different. The Man.

Mourinho clearly an agitated figure on the whistle, shows three fingers to Juventus fans again before cupping his ears. Stoking a reaction. Has probably just seen the most complete performance of his tenure at Manchester United though.

No matter how much you dislike Mourinho you just can't deny how charismatic he is. especially when he wins. He makes football way more entertaining

Mourinho has clearly taken the handbrake off in the last month & its evident in the results. Scoring more goals, no clean sheets, games going right to the wire.
