Whats wrong with enjoying the moment and focusing back to work tomorrow. ?
You have a point. I just find it strange that Madrid (a club renowned for sacking managers) were the ones to seemingly take the stuffing out of him.
He knows the winners of the last 4 major trophies in England have lost their jobs within the year.
It was the pinnacle of his managerial career and not being able to win a CL there or beat Barca meaningfully hurt, given his past association with that club.
He didn't even smile once though, you have to admit his reaction was a tad weird today.
The bloke you've named yourself after famously said he felt nothing after winning a medal, other than impatience to crack on and win another. Jose's cut from the same cloth.
We sacked lvg and moyes for mediocrity...
True but surely equaling the clubs greatest manager along with Clough of 4 league cups should be something to celebrate ?

Like the time Klopp led them around the stadium clapping and holding hands after they rescued a late draw?And his only two losses were after added time, not bad. Thank feck Zlatan scored that late winner thenReckon the shell shocked non celebration is just a byproduct of him being more mature at this point of his career, and not wanting to revel in Southampton's sorrows because they were worthy opponents on the day (like United were vs. Madrid in Fergie's last season). He loved being a party pooper, but maybe not any more, though even in the old days, he was often quite somber and emotional rather than over-the-top gleeful wrt. celebrations after winning trophies (funnily enough, he seemed much happier after QF and SF wins - like the touchline run at Old Trafford, and the goading of Barcelona fans at Camp Nou).
Plus, from a pragmatic point of view, this is only the stepping stone towards his ultimate goal - March and April is going to be brutal. He will have the Europa League, Top 4 qualification and FA Cup tie vs Chelsea on his mind, and the last thing he'd want is the players losing sight of the real targets and getting complacent after winning the worst cup we're competing in because they can't compartmentalize their emotions, especially when we could've easily snatched defeat from the jaws of victory after Gaddbiadini's first goal - leading up to the second.
We might not see a half-satisfied Mourinho until he lifts the Big Ears and the Premier League title - that's what he expects from himself, evidenced by the bit about him putting great pressure upon himself - and that's the new-old standard United needs to revisit.

He hardly celebrated when he won the UCL with Porto and threw his medal away when he won the league with Chelsea.Fair enough. No point leaping about like a loon when you've won a league cup eh...

Not true at all.
