As the world of football continues to digest Leicester City's decision to sack Claudio Ranieri, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has leapt to the Italian's defence.
The Portuguese is just the latest in a long line to be critical of the way that the Foxes have handled the situation, even taking into account their current plight in the Premier League.
"The champion of England and best coach of 2016 according to FIFA, dismissed," Mourinho said on Instagram, next to a photo in which he appears smiling with Ranieri.
"This is modern football, Claudio, but no one can erase the history that you achieved."
