José Mourinho reaches "point of no return" as Man Utd leaders prepare to dismiss him | Football | sport

Manchester United will face Newcastle while Jose Mourinho will try to end a series of four games without a win.

But, according to the Daily MirrorMourinho will be returned regardless of the outcome.

It is claimed that the Portuguese have reached the 'point of no return' and the Old Trafford leaders are ready to press the button to send him packing.

Mourinho has endured a few difficult weeks and has publicly quarreled with Paul Pogba, while it appeared that discrepancies with Antonio Valencia and Alexis Sanchez had cast doubt on his position.

Zinedine Zidane is the favorite to replace him after leaving Real Madrid this summer. He would have learned English to prepare him for this role.

Mourinho admitted yesterday that things were not going well enough in a short press conference during which he refused to answer a third of the questions asked.

"Yes, I accept (things are not good enough)," he said.

"I know we are at the beginning of October and we are looking at tables all over Europe. In many leagues, the September and October tables do not reflect what will happen in a few months or even at the end of the month. season.

"But we are in a position where we can do a lot better and to do that, we need points, points that we have lost especially in the last two Premier League matches, with one point out of six.

"We know that to improve this position, we need to win these three points, but we know that our opposition also needs points.

"They have a very, very good coach, a very well organized team, especially against the teams in the first part of the table, where their manager is very brilliant in his analysis of the qualities of the opposition and trying to stop them.

"The results they have achieved against the best teams have not yet brought them points this season, but have given them very close results and very difficult games for their opponents. We are therefore expecting a tough match.

United is already well behind league leaders and is tenth in the Premier League after its worst start to the season since 1989.

Mourinho found support from Gary Neville, who says the club is "rotten" and needs new leaders over the manager.

During the cover of Brighton vs West Ham, he launched a superb song on Friday night.

"If that's true, we do not know, but if that's true and Jose Mourinho will leave Old Trafford tomorrow almost like a dead man, these fans will absolutely turn to this conference room," he said on Sky Sports.

"It is unacceptable, and I must say that Jose Mourinho will get the greatest support he has ever had in his life tomorrow on this ground, and I will be there to give it to him.

"Because in the end, it's been going on for five or six years, and I must say that any manager … Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world, and I think at this point in time any director would have trouble at this football club.

"The way recruitment is managed, the way it works … and that's enough for me.

"I love this football club, I really love it to die, it's my life, it gave me everything, and I must say that something must change and that it's not the manager, it's above that.

"I'm furious while I sit here thinking that a report has been published." Journalists do not record stories of this nature unless they are absolutely certain. hope this is not true, but if it is true, I think it is an absolute disgrace. "

"It's hard to run a football club, it's hard to run a football club, it's hard to play in a football team, it's not always easy." there are a lot of challenges. "

"But what you have to do is make sure you do the right thing, and I have to say at this point that the decisions that have been made in the last four or five years are rotten. above.

"If I am the person who employs the guy below me and he fails, I may have to take responsibility for that, eventually I have to get up and say that I am not good enough to do that."
