Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is set to expose the highs and lows of his turbulent two-and-a-half-year tenure at Old Trafford in an upcoming Netflix documentary.

Despite a challenging second season, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's tenure continues, fuelled in part by the goodwill garnered in his debut campaign. The Dutchman implemented a distinctive style of play, securing the team's return to Europe's premier competition and, notably, ending the club's six-year trophy drought with a Carabao Cup triumph.

The last manager to claim that trophy was Jose Mourinho, who started his Manchester United journey with a League Cup and Europa League double in his debut season. Despite a second-place finish in his second year, labeled by Mourinho as his greatest achievement, and a run to the FA Cup final, Mourinho faced the axe in his third season amid struggles to secure Champions League qualification.
