Northampton away in the League Cup on Wednesday. Lose that and the pressure on Mourinho will be incredible.
Serves them right for getting rid of Van Gaal despite winning the FA Cup.

Van Gaal is a terrible manager though.

Sick of seeing Mourinho in every other tv ad. It would appear that his managerial career may well have peaked.
Not really the case though it is.. he managed Barca, United, Bayern, Ajax, Holland, won domestic titles with four teams in three nations, won domestic cups in four nations, won the Champions League, reached the World Cup semis... There aren't many in the business with a better record. The United job was just always going to be a poisoned chalice; no manager in world football would be able to successfully follow a manager of Ferguson's stature, and Moyes's legacy probably didn't make it any easier.
City will run away with the title this season, they look absolutely formidable. Kevin De Bruyne in particular is just sensational (another Mourinho masterstroke letting him leave Chelsea...)
He started as a ''Nobody'' when he worked hard and respected the players he managed and worked with he was fine. Once he achieved a Hierarchy'' status and believed he was bigger than the players he managed, that's where his troubles lay and more and more surfaced everywhere he went.
He is well remunerated and has always had lots of money to spend everywhere he has been, so he hasn't really been tested to see whether he can manage on a tighter budget.
His problem is he seems now to struggle to get players ''on side'' That's the hardest part of Management in football. I don't like the guy so I am not sorry to see his potential demise. Contrast that with CH who since he went out into Management on his own he has always had to struggle with budgets available to him and so he has always had to keep the players he has on side.
Even at Newcastle he had to work with the players who had just been relegated - He had very little to spend there, hence having to bring the youth striker through immediately. OK it was Andy Carroll so that helped.
Mourhino is a brilliant football Manager and coach but his arrogance and his lofty view of his personal infallibility could potentially be his downfall at Man Utd. On the other hand if he adjusts that internally and takes advice from Alex Ferguson then he will succeed at Man Utd

Someone made the point about this
I doubt he would be happy to see his players in as many adverts as he is, every other advert has him in it.

The same situation arose for Man.Utd back in 1968 when Matt Busby retired. From then successive managers tried to fill his boots and failed, until Ferguson took over and even then it took him four years to win his first trophy.

I personally do not rate him. With their respective budgets, most managers would stand a chance if they were put into his position.
Anybody suddenly finding Stoke their favourite EPL side at the moment? Too bad they are 2 goals behind Palarse. A nice come-from-behind-win would be splendid.

Van Gaal was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time at Old Trafford. He had to clear out a lot of the dead wood that Moyes had created. For Mourinho to have got off to such a bad start is not acceptable when he's blown every club out of the water with the signings of Paul Pogba, Henrikn Mkhitaryan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eric Bailley. If he fails at United this season I can't see him ever managing in England ever again and that will be a blessed relief to the overwhelming majority of football fans.
