Manchester United: Pressure Mounts On Jose Mourinho As Players, Staff Openly Discuss His Fate

Jose Mourinho's fate at Manchester United is hanging in the balance following his team's performance which has been heavily criticised as their poorest since 1989/90.

United was eliminated in the third-round of EFL Carabao Cup by Frank Lampard's Berby Count followed by another 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday. Now, they are nine points behind table leaders Manchester City and Liverpool. 

Players and staff of the club reportedly were openly having discussion about their manager's dismissal which they anticipated would be any time soon as they bother over their defeat West Ham on Saturday, according to Dailymail.

United's former center-back player Rio Ferdinand expressed his disatisfaction in the club telling BT Sport that, "there are some big decisions to be made at Manchester United now. I think the hierarchy and the people who run the club, people Ed Woodward, are having conversation at that level as to where they go from here."
The chairman of the club, Ed Woodward, reportedly once stated that he would not like to be in a situation of making "quick fix" decision over the club manager as team's performance continues to nose diving.
