Jose Mourinho hits out at faltering Manchester United stars over their attitude

Mourinho then had a public falling out with Pogba during a United training session regarding a social media post – another sign of the discontent around Old Trafford.

It confused pundits and, according to Manchester Evening News, it “baffled” the United players.

The France global has had the vice-captaincy taken off him and many observers are claiming Mourinho may be suffering from the “third-season syndrome” that has dogged his career.

But he told the Portuguese that his representatives had merely been sounded out over his thoughts of taking over at the club.

He has a week to save his job and convince Ed Woodward that he can end the current crisis. “Even if some players didn’t like what the plan was they bought into it and did the job 100 per cent”.

And for Manchester United, their problems were written large on a torturous afternoon at West Ham yesterday after a 3-1 defeat.

That the Chilean was deemed not good enough to make Jose Mourinho’s 18-man squad for such a shambolic display at the London Stadium speaks volumes for Sanchez’s slide since joining United in January. “We didn’t look like a team today that was going to beat West Ham”.

“If you want the truth I think it was honestly horrendous”, said Shaw.

Valencia have lost each of their last four Champions League games, their worst ever streak in the competition.

Luke Shaw insists the players are to blame for Manchester United’s poor run of form and not manager Jose Mourinho.

United have made a frightful start to their 2018/19 season as they have a tally of 10 points from seven matches.

“We’ve got that in a couple of days time, so we’ve got to dust ourselves off quickly and get rid of the disappointment”.

Speaking on BT Sport, former United defender Rio Ferdinand said: ‘I think there are some big decisions to be made at Manchester United now.

And luckily enough for the United manager, the man who asked the question was sitting right in front of the man who wrote the story: Sun journalist Neil Custis.

Los Che will look to improve on their showing against Juventus on matchday one, where they were a little overawed, and the lack of expectation placed on them here means we could see an upset.
