da 888casino： Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t seem the ‘Happy One’ – as he once proclaimed himself at former club Chelsea – today during his first press conference as Manchester United manager.
da bwin： The Portuguese star rarely cracked a smile as he answered questions about United’s goals next season, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and more, with the only signs of that cheeky grin being when asked about the unconfirmed/confirmed signing of Dortmund star Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Mourinho’s glum face comes as no surprise however, having looked about as happy as a man who has just been sacked from Chelsea (ahhh that’s why) when he was announced as United’s new manager back in May.
His face, stood with red scarf in hand, painted a picture not many will forget, but was he as emotionless as this lot when they signed for their new club?
Aaron Lennon
The undisputed king of the unhappy signings, Lennon was loaned – much to his own surprise – to Everton back in February for the remainder of the Premier League season haven fallen out of favour and struggled for form at Spurs.
You can’t tell, can you?
Emmanuel Frimpong
Has there been a bigger fall from grace than Emmanuel Frimpong in recent years?
Arsenal prodigy, failed loan star and eventual Barnsley signing, the Ghanian midfielder has plunged into the depths of footballing anonymity. Stay ‘benched’ or get frimponged, some may say.
Nicolas Anelka
He clearly doesn’t want to be there in that photo, and that pattern continued throughout his brief West Brom career in which he only scored two goals but managed to get himself sacked for ‘gross misconduct’. ‘I used to be at Real Madrid!’, he must have been thinking.
Royston Drenthe
If Royston Drenthe’s reasoning for looking so unhappy upon his move to Everton was that he was giving up sunny Madrid for Merseyside, I wouldn’t argue with him.
But something says it might have been his failed Los Blancos career and plummet from glory that has something to do with it.
David Goodwillie
The Scotsman is really not doing the SPL any publicity favours by having a face like a slapped arse after signing for Aberdeen from Blackburn Rovers back in 2014.
Goodwillie knows the SPL is naff, and isn’t trying to hide it either.
David Moyes
United’s first manager after the immortal Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes doesn’t know whether he’s happy or ready to book a one way flight to the Bermuda Triangle after being appointed as the new boss at Old Trafford. His smile screams ‘help me’.
Jermain Beckford
England’s footballing yo-yo, Jermain Beckford got his dream move to Everton in 2010 having started his career at Wealdstone (you want some?) before a successful spell at Leeds United.
After Everton realised he actually wasn’t that great, he was sold on and is now plying his trade – rather unsuccessfully – at Preston North End. He looks pleased.
Edgar Davids
Agent: “Just do your best to look happy Edgar.”
Davids: “I don’t even know where I am!”
Agent: “You’re in Barnet. Just look at the camera.”
Davids: “Where? Fine, but i’m not smiling.”
