Antonio Valencia Apologized for liking 'time to go Mourinho' post

Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia has apologised for an Instagram post he liked which called for Jose Mourinho to be sacked.



The 33-year-old returned to Manchester United team for Tuesday's goalless draw with Valencia in the Champions League after fallen out with Mourinho.

He liked a picture of himself which had the caption: "It's time for Mourinho to go" after the game.

Antonio Valencia later claimed to liked the post "without reading the context".

"These are not my opinions and I‘m sorry for this," Valencia said on Twitter. "The manager has my full support and my team-mates. The players are giving our best to improve the results."

The Ecuadorian international, who signed for the Red Devils side in 2009 from Wigan, had missed United's previous two games - their Carabao Cup exit to Derby, and Premier League 3-1 defeat by West Ham.

Paul Pogba claimed he had been warned not allowed to grant interviews in the mixed zone, after their fourth successive game without a win.

Last week, a video clip of Pogba and his manager, Mourinho having a tense exchange on the training ground emerged, and the France international has been told by Mourinho he will not captain the team again.

“At United, some players are more than others" Mourinho said and that "no player is bigger than the club".

Manchester United are 10th in the league following their worst start to a season in 29 years.
