Manchester United's Season Continues to Crumble After Defeat to Wolves
Mourinho's Time at United Could Be Coming to an End
Manchester United's woes continued on Saturday as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves. The result leaves United 12th in the Premier League table, 19 points behind leaders Manchester City and eight points off the top four. It is the club's worst start to a season since 1990-91.
United were poor throughout the match and rarely looked like winning. Wolves took the lead through Raul Jimenez in the first half and doubled their advantage through Diogo Jota early in the second. Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back for United late on, but it was too little, too late.
The defeat has increased the pressure on manager Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese has been under fire for much of the season, and his future at the club is now in serious doubt. United have won just three of their last 12 Premier League matches, and they have been knocked out of both the Carabao Cup and the Champions League.
Mourinho's Future in Doubt
Mourinho's future at United is now hanging by a thread. The club's board is reportedly losing patience with the Portuguese, and they are considering sacking him if results do not improve.
Mourinho has been criticized for his tactics, his man-management, and his public comments. He has also clashed with a number of players, including Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw.
If Mourinho is sacked, it will be the second time he has been dismissed by United. He was previously sacked in 2016 after a disappointing start to the season.
Conclusion
Manchester United's season is in danger of falling apart. The club is struggling on the pitch, and there is a real possibility that Mourinho will be sacked.
United need to turn things around quickly, or they could find themselves in a relegation battle.
