While Jose Mourinho’s time at Manchester United didn’t end the way he would have liked, it was certainly eventful. He also remains the last Red Devils manager to lift silverware.
There were plenty of deals made during Mourinho’s two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, with high-profile names coming in and out of the club.
We’ve taken a look at the 15 players he sold as United manager to see how they’ve subsequently fared. Note: we’ve not included players that left on free transfers.
Tyler Reid
Reid was a regular in United’s under-18s before joining Swansea City in 2016 but only made one first-team appearance during his three years at the club.
After spending a season at Swindon Town, the defender then signed for National League club Woking in October 2020 and has since moved to Finnish club Vaasan Palloseura.
Paddy McNair
Having broke through under Louis van Gaal, McNair joined David Moyes when he took over at Sunderland. That didn’t exactly go to plan as they got relegated in calamitous fashion.
Now 27, he is currently at Middlesbrough and is a regular feature in the Northern Ireland national team.
He featured in Boro’s backline and scored the first spot-kick of the penalty shootout as Chris Wilder’s side dumped United out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage back in February.
Donald Love
Love made just two appearances for United’s first team and suffered a defeat on both occasions before leaving in the same deal that took McNair to the Stadium of Light.
Unlike the Northern Ireland international, he has been unable to stay in the Championship and is now plying his trade for Morecambe in League One.
Tyler Blackett
After going out on loan to three different clubs, Blackett finally left Old Trafford permanently in the summer of 2016, joining Reading under former United defender Jaap Stam.
The defender went on to make 122 appearances for the Royals, before moving on to Nottingham Forest in 2020. Blackett failed to become a first-team regular at the City Ground and has since moved to MLS side FC Cincinnati.

Will Keane
Keane was a highly-rated prospect at United after scoring regularly for their reserves but a knee ligament injury halted his progress and derailed his career.
“A lot of football is timing, isn’t it? Being in the right place at the right time,” Keane told the Manchester Evening News in 2019.
“It’s been hard for me because I’ve had…
