Jose Mourinho faces sack at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho needs to guide Manchester United to a top-four finish to survive the sack at the end of the season, according to The Sun. Mourinho’s side are now 12 points behind rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester City after derby defeat(3-1). United chiefs want Tottenham Mauricio Pochettino to replace the Portuguese but it looks almost impossible to get him out of the water-tight contract he signed with Tottenham in the summer. Manchester United boss signed a new deal at Old Trafford last season, but the penalty clause for firing him is a year’s salary-around £15m.
