He feels the Red Devils could be heading towards one of their worst seasons ever
Jose Mourinho was appointed as Manchester United manager back in 2016, taking over the charge from Louis Van Gaal. He guided the team to win League and Europa League, which ensured their return to the Champions League.
The Red Devils finished second in the Premier League behind Manchester City last season, their highest ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. They also reached the FA Cup final but were beaten by Chelsea.
The manager wanted quality additions during this summer transfer window after signing the likes of Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba etc in the the past transfer windows. Diogo Dalot, Fred and Lee Grant joined the squad this summer.
But the club failed to sign any more players the Portuguese wanted, especially a high profile centre-back and openly expressed his disappointment for not getting the players.
The Premier League giants are struggling right now after failing to win their last 3 fixtures. They have made their worst start to a Premier League season ever, and the slowest in England’s top flight since 1989-90, with a 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday.
It was a result that came in the aftermath of a week that saw them dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Championship side Derby.
The manager’s future has been called into question after a poor start to the new campaign and reported fall out with some of the players.
United legend Rio Ferdinand feels the club have big decision to make over Mourinho’s future and feels they could be heading towards one of their worst seasons ever.
“There will be conversations at the top level about the future of the manager and the squad,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.
“The basics are not being done and something has to be said.
“You can’t let a situation like this continue throughout the season – wars in the press, leaks, players on one side of the dressing room, Mourinho and his staff on the other. If that continues this will be one of the worst seasons in the club’s history.”
