Man United give their backing

MAN UTD UPDATE

06/10/18

Manchester United have dismissed reports claiming Jose Mourinho will be sacked after the game with Newcastle and have underlined their support for their manager, according to Sky sources.

Despite a winless run of four games which sees United nine points behind the Premier League leaders it’s believed the United hierarchy are willing to be patient with Mourinho.

United officials met with Mourinho’s agent in London yesterday but the discussions centred around David De Gea’s contract and Mourinho’s future was not on the agenda.

That's him gone then!

That's him gone then!

At 2-0 down after 10 minutes, it would be easy to think that but to be fair, he changed things around and got a positive reaction from his players, including Pogba

The Board say he has their backing and I hope that is correct...

I'm no Man Ure fan but I do like Mourinho and he kept Newcastle close to us today!

Player power is way OTT nowadays and I really hope he turns it around

Ed Woodward power doesn't help them either

What's better for us in Newcastle stick with Benitez. He looks so much like football has left him behind...

Newcastle, Huddersfield, one other to go down...
