Jose Mourinho is no stranger to arguments with his own players and Luke Shaw is just the latest in a long list of fiery case studies.

The likes of Iker Casillas, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Ricardo Quaresma and even Cristiano Ronaldo have all clashed with the Special One across spells with Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and now Manchester United.

His displeasure with Shaw is nothing new at Old Trafford - Mourinho has complained about the left-back's fitness and attitude and constantly plays Ashley Young, not a natural full-back, in his place.

And the FA Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend seemed to be the tip of the iceberg with Mourinho launching a tirade against his player.

The United boss was seen expostulating on the touchline at Shaw's performance before noting in an ill-tempered post-match press conference that the 22-year-old, whom he substituted at half-time, kept placing the team in 'dangerous situations.'

Luke Shaw isn't the first player to fall-out with Mourinho

It has all but confirmed Shaw's future and according to the BBC, it won't lie at Old Trafford.

The news has brought a sadness over United fans and perhaps dually so. Shaw hasn't exactly produced sensational performances during Mourinho's tenure, yet his treatment seems harsh to say the least.

However, supporters can at least seek sanctuary in the fact Mourinho has gone much further in the past and his treatment of Pedro Leon at Real Madrid was particularly shocking.

Mourinho said something terrible to Pedro Leon

The talented winger only spent one season at the Bernebeu, collecting a measly 14 appearances as rumours that Mourinho was 'bullying' and 'humiliating' him began to surface.

Furthermore, according to revered Spanish football journalist Sid Lowe, the then Real boss dropped a truly terrible comment during the feud.

Lowe reported: "One day, Mourinho told León that even if the team plane crashed without him on it and he was the only man available, he still would not play the following week."

Wow.

While the gist of the comment is probably applicable to Shaw's situation right now, there was no need for Mourinho to phrase things quite like that in the case of Leon.

It goes to show that, in the chase of success, Mourinho can take things a little too far sometimes and when he doesn't get on with a player, he seriously doesn't get along with a player.

If there is any saving grace in how the Shaw episode has unfolded in recent weeks, however, it seems he will finally part ways with United and it appears the best decision for both parties.
