JOSE'S REASSURING TEXT
07/10/18
Jose Mourinho has revealed he received a text from a Manchester United board member ensuring him his job was not under threat.
Reports emerged on Friday night that the Portuguese would lose his job regardless of Saturday's result against Newcastle, which saw United come from behind to win 3-2, followed by denials from the club the following morning.
Mourinho believes he is the victim of a "manhunt" that will "never stop", but he offered an insight into his continued relationship with the United hierarchy at full-time at Old Trafford.
"If I hadn't had an SMS from my board not to read (the papers), I would have been convinced too," he told talkSPORT.
