Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho deletes Instagram account

Jose Mourinho deleted his Instagram account amid reports that it was bombarded with abusive message following Saturday’s FA Cup final defeat against Chelsea.

Eden Hazard's first-half penalty was enough to win the competition for Chelsea on a disappointing afternoon for the Old Trafford giants.

Although initial reports revealed that his Instagram account was deleted because it was receiving abuse from online trolls following his side’s defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

But according to the Manchester Evening News, his representatives have said the account was not deleted due to abuse, but because he found it boring.

Mourinho joined Instagram after being appointed as United manager in 2016.
