WATCH NOW: Sports round-up ahead of Fenerbache and Man Utd clash
Jose Mourinho has been accused of creating a terrible atmosphere at Fenerbache as he prepares for Thursday night's Europa League clash with former club Manchester United.
Mourinho was appointed by the Turkish Super Lig side back in the summer, having become a free agent following his departure from Roma at the start of the year.
His side initially started the season well but they currently sit eight points behind Galatasaray in the race for the league title.
Mourinho will oversee Thursday night's crunch clash with former club United, who he managed between 2016 and 2018.

The 61-year-old won the EFL Cup and Europa League during his maiden year at Old Trafford.
Yet Mourinho was relieved of his duties in December 2018 after falling out with players such as Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw.
Former Fenerbache star Volkan Demirel, speaking to Fanatik, has now hit out at the former United boss.
He says Mourinho has created an atmosphere of 'unhappiness and hopelessness' as they prepare for their biggest European game of the season so far.
And Demirel also believes Fenerbache haven't lived up to expectations during his time in the dugout, too.
"Right now, this Fenerbahce team is mixed with unhappiness and hopelessness," he told Fanatik.
"Why the unhappiness? Because of the environment they are in.
"Why the hopelessness? We were all expecting something. We were expecting it from Mourinho, we were expecting it from the transfers that were made.
"We were saying let’s see after the international break, but nothing has changed at the moment, but it will obviously continue like this.
"We waited to see if we could see a change, a variability, but it didn’t happen. We have not seen any changes in the game designs of the matches played at home and away. Or if you are leading 2-1, will Fenerbahce play a seven-man defence?
"A big question mark."
Mourinho's side will be going up against a United team currently stuck in a rut under Erik ten Hag.
