Super Eagles icon told Man United, “You are not good anymore.

October 24, 2024

Before their matchup with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, the Super Eagles icon told Man United, “You are not good anymore.”

Ahead of Manchester United’s Europa League matchup with his old team, Fenerbahce, former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike has made a daring comment.

Emenike has a legendary history in Kadiköy from his time with the Turkish club, where the game is scheduled to take place.
Emenike, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations champion, responded to a Manchester United supporter’s post on social media.
“We’re ready for you,” he said. Greetings from Kadiköy. Manchester United is no longer that good.

The persistent difficulties of Manchester United, who have come under fire for their patchy performances this season under Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag, are reflected in this quote.

Given that both clubs’ managers are under pressure following recent disappointing performances, the forthcoming game is especially important.
José Mourinho, who is currently leading Fenerbahce following his well-publicized summer transfer, will greet United.

Emenike’s remarks heighten the interest in the match as he anticipates how his former team will perform against the English powerhouses.

Both supporters and analysts will be eagerly observing the teams’ preparation for this crucial match later on Thursday night to see if Emenike’s predictions come true.

The likelihood that the Red Devils will win their first Premier League championship since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure has also been discussed by Portuguese manager Mourinho.

During his tenure at Old Trafford, Mourinho lost to rivals Manchester City in the 2017–18 Premier League season.Ahead of his reunion with the Reds, the 61-year-old expressed his belief that United’s performance that season still qualifies them as winners.

“I believe we ought to have a chance to win that since they might penalize Man City with points if we win that league and they’ll have to give me the medal and bonus.”

When Ten Hag and Mourinho face off later Thursday night, Mourinho will try to make Ten Hag’s problems worse.

The Portuguese strategist has had a difficult beginning to life in Turkey, and Thursday’s encounter with the Red Devils may cause even more suffering.
When Jose Mourinho arrived at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in June to a thunderous reception from over 30,000 ferocious Fenerbahce supporters, he declared, “That culture makes it fun.” It is for the stability and balance of the board, the president, and the directors, but not for the supporters. They must be insane. To exert pressure on us, they must be demanding. Part of what drives me is that passion.

During his tenures at Roma, Chelsea, Inter, and Porto, Mourinho used that “passion” as fuel. He frequently selects teams with ardent fans who can be “the 12th man” for his squad.

In actuality, though, he had few choices after Roma fired him in January. The days when Mourinho was regarded as the world’s greatest manager are long gone. Fearing a recurrence of the toxic environment he has created in more recent positions, the majority of Europe’s best clubs will no longer even approach him.
