The third matches of the UEFA Europa League have concluded this week. Our representative Fenerbahçe faced the powerful English side Manchester United in front of their own fans.
The Yellow Canaries drew 1-1 with their opponent, bringing their total to 5 points after 3 matches. The visiting team, Manchester United, remained at 3 points.
Following the match, the dismissal of Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho by referee Clément Turpin, who showed him a red card, became one of the most discussed topics of the game.
Here are the headlines about Mourinho from the British press:
THE GUARDIAN: "Manchester United draw with Fenerbahçe in match where Mourinho is sent off"
"Jose Mourinho was sent off for protesting after he felt Fenerbahçe should have been awarded a penalty against Manchester United, but they salvaged a point thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri's equalizer after falling behind to Christian Eriksen's goal. Mourinho looked shocked when he was shown the red card and it took an age for him to leave the pitch before taking his place in the stands."
THE TELEGRAPH: "Manchester United's winless run in Europe reaches a year despite Mourinho red card"
THE SUN: "Red Devils have not won in Europe for 12 months, Mourinho sent off in fiery clash"
"Manchester United managed to escape from Jose Mourinho's den with a point on a night of chaos in Europe."
MIRROR: "Erik ten Hag's side stall again and fail to benefit from Jose Mourinho's advice"
"Defeating Mourinho, who has played at the top level in Europe throughout his career, in the cauldron of Istanbul seemed like a difficult prospect on paper. While a point away at Fenerbahçe is not something to be sniffed at, three points from three games does not make for good reading for their current manager. Neither does the fact that they have not won a match in European competitions under his leadership for 12 months."
THE TIMES: "Jose Mourinho draws against his former team"
"The former United manager mocked the referee who showed him a red card by calling him 'the best in the world' after Youssef En-Nesyri responded to Christian Eriksen's goal."
DAILY MAIL: "Mourinho takes center stage with red card"
"Erik ten Hag's side failed to win in the Europa League after En-Nesyri responded to Christian Eriksen's goal. As Mourinho continued his one-man show, the match in the Europa League ended in another draw, and Manchester United have managed only one win in their last 11 matches in Europe."
