José Mourinho returned from the brink as Manchester United came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2 against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Saturday.
All looked lost for the under-pressure manager as the hosts went in at the break with a two-goal deficit in what surely was a must-win game for him.
But three goals in the last 20 minutes from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and finally Alexis Sánchez saw the stadium rocking and the fans singing Mourinho’s name.
As it happened, these are were the best jokes from Manchester United 3-2 Newcastle:

The mid table team just beat the side next-to-bottom. Great second half. Just shows you don't have to look at the Big 5 to get a good game in the Prem. #MUNNEW
