Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho showed his support for Claudio Ranieri after the Leicester City manager's sacking yesterday.
Mourinho wore a tracksuit displaying the initials 'CR' in a show of support to axed Ranieri.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Sunday's EFL Cup Final, Mourinho added: "If he [Ranieri] had finished 12th last season, it would be amazing achievement but they would still be thinking about relegation and he would still be in a job.
"He is paying for his success."
Mourinho was himself sacked by Chelsea in December 2015, just over six months after winning the top flight crown.
