I guess the manager is doomed when the players and staff start talking about him getting the boot as soon as the next match: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2793177-manchester-united-players-reportedly-think-jose-mourinho-is-1-loss-from-the-sack
Allegedly the board still has faith in Mourinho while his players and staff think he will get sacked after 1 more loss and his successor will be Zidane. The match vs Burnley will surely be very, very interesting.

Man. United 2 matches are showing off a very bad game showing a formless team so obviously Harry Kane is still a more solid man is a very good striker for me. Every loss he's going to do after that will be a big problem, Man. For United.
One of Tottenham main player Son heung min is even not play on that match, yet tottenham still managed to win on that match against Man united. Pochettino > Mourinho.
"Pochettino > Mourinho" hmm, only during the past couple of season. Poch is far from being at the same level as Mourinho, at least in terms of success and titles.
I hope to see more of it from Mou but with either Rash or Sanchez up top. Maybe even Martial...? Lukaku just isn't a top 4 striker. IMHO.
Martial has completely fallen out of favour with Mou. I'd be surprised to see him up front.
Well that's the thing... A good manager will sort things out for the good of the club, the players and himself. He can't go on like this. Tho I think the way the played vs Tottenham is the way to go. Mou should keep doing it.

Oh man what a disastrous night that was. Why did Jose Mourinho enter the pitch and start clapping and congratulating his players and the fans was a completely mystery to me. I was like "What the heck is this guy doing? Has he gone mad?" And Ed Woodward was in the stands and he didn't looked amused at all. Mourinho should get his stuff together or at least gracefully make his exit before another embarrassing blunder gets him sacked this time for real.
lol that was epic! united humiliated, mourinho clapped, press conference went messed up… mourinho are typical manager that always do everything in anti-mainstream way…. the team won he get crazy angry… the team lost he gives applause , am i right? just look at him , now he should really desperate and waiting for his time in united ended , at least until this january. 
You know, this was an example of just how stubborn Mourinho is. I'm not saying they played completely defensively as everyone expected them to do, they actually didn't and so many close chances and almost converting in the first minute, so don't anyone say that this team didn't want to win it. But I would say that they only really went for it after being down.
They were slow to attack, moved only faster after needing to score to draw. That is what frustrates to watch this team. I predicted 3-2 and should have been right!
Spurs weren't that good, actually! Just got their goals. 3-0 is not really how the game looked. But no excuses for United who spends 64 million this season, who have superstars in their team, super manager. Lose at your home ground this big, to a London team!
Spurs played this gale so perfectly they knew how to soak the the danger from the chances that united created and after that they played on their opponents mistakes in defense, the srt peices marking was awful from United they blew the game that way with just to headers, Smalling should have been sold in the summer so they could bring another defender he is 28yo and there is no room for him to improve anything then this Phil Jones is still usefull IMO Mourinho can rely on him if he gets regular time Lindelof is still looking like he is not adjusted yet in the EPL and that is a big question mark since he shown good performance is WC.

Think you're all going to be right, which is why United are still the favourite even after all the portents. Park the bus, get a point, maybe give Spurs enough niggling tackles, get under their skin, rile them up to get careless and give away freekicks that Utd can profit from.
But maybe tonight's the night Poch gets his joy from Old Trafford. Maybe Kane adds to his lone August tally. Maybe Bailly continues his desperate form and gives away another penalty. Maybe we all get surprised as Mourinho employs Sanchez to spearhead a raiding formation.
Please surprise me!

So I got almost everything I wanted, except the yellow cards bet. Just goes to show that maybe Pogba was right: they weren't fired up enough to win this contest. I mean, 3 goals down with no reply and no one lost their cool except the manager?
4 teams sit atop the table now, City took a slight tumble but seeing United and Arsenal on 3 points is a sign of the times, even this early on in the season. Fortunes are shifting, power is shifting from clubs. It took a lot of stop-gapping, big signings and money for United to hold on to their glory post Ferguson but the decay set in a while ago, as it did already on Wenger's swansong.
Too soon to speak of a new era of City dominance?
Lets wait city is fav but Liverpool looks really great .Klopp very well know how to play against City so Liverpool is 6 points ahead
But there is no excuse for Man. United his defense is tragic
united is playing not like Mourinho teams to lose 6 goals in two games much to much
speculation about changing coach will rise anytime when United will lost
Oh man what a disastrous night that was. Why did Jose Mourinho enter the pitch and start clapping and congratulating his players and the fans was a completely mystery to me. I was like "What the heck is this guy doing? Has he gone mad?" And Ed
Yeah, that was really weird. I guess it's better than being a sore loser and storming off at least. It was almost as if he knew he might be saying goodbye. It could be his last home game as welll if he's not lucky. Man United next two fixtures are both away so you never know what might happen by then.
Spurs weren't that good, actually! Just got their goals. 3-0 is not really how the game looked. But no excuses for United who spends 64 million this season, who have superstars in their team, super manager. Lose at your home ground this big, to a London team!
Exactly. Spurs, who made zero transfers, played pretty average to be honest. And still beat big spending United 3-0. It's embarrassing really. And Mou's press conference was absolutely bizarre. It's time for him to go.
This just goes to show you don't need to spend huge. Managers should spend more time developing their players to actually play as a team and a band of brothers, and that's what's not working at United. It doesn't matter how much money you throw at buying the best players in the world if they don't jell well as a team. Leicester didn't win the league a few years ago buy buying superstars, they won it because they were the squad that played the better football as a team. Was inspiring to watch. They were just leagues ahead of anyone that season and really deserved it.
I hope to see more of it from Mou but with either Rash or Sanchez up top. Maybe even Martial...? Lukaku just isn't a top 4 striker. IMHO.
Martial has completely fallen out of favour with Mou. I'd be surprised to see him up front.
With Wenger gone, this is actually true
Wait. That's a good point. Wenger to replace Mourinho!? Imagine the scenes!
#WengerIn
Have a feeling Man Utd will sneak a victory against Spurs tonight, no doubt they’ll play awful football & win by 1 goal.
Man U 2-1 Spurs is my prediction (don’t bet on that, I’m not).
Man U 2-1 Spurs is my prediction (don’t bet on that, I’m not).
Yup, same feeling here... It could be 2 - 1, but it could also be 1 - 0, 1 - 1, 0 - 0 with Mou parking the bus. Lol.
And they're playing at Old Trafford. No way are they allowing themselves to be embarrassed again right after losing to Brighton. Knowing Mou, a point here would be like a win.
I’m going to watch the game with my bed sheets on the sofa & smoke a few blunts. Not feeling too good, got the shits & a bad stomach.
Lmao! Then you prolly shouldn't smoke out cos it's gonna give you the munchies.
Anyway I think Man United played pretty well up until the Spurs was two goals up. I hope to see more of it from Mou but with either Rash or Sanchez up top. Maybe even Martial...? Lukaku just isn't a top 4 striker. IMHO.
Oh wow he really said that? 
This has got to be the best mic drop I have ever seen 
The man is right though I have to give him that, that's another one of his classy excuses haha. Well this IS his best excuse ever a legendary one at that He also said United fans left the stadium early because it takes 2 hours to get to the center of Manchester after games due to traffic. Here is a video of the whole press conference: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/08/27/jose-mourinho-walks-press-conference-defending-managerial-record/

That press conference was gold, what are you talking about? To anyone who missed the press conference, here's the highlight: https://twitter.com/JPW_NBCSports/status/1034190797405650944
With Wenger gone, this is actually true...He's been waiting for so long to actually that say that out loud...Never change, Mou LOL

Mourinho is a dead man walking, he’ll be sacked before Xmas. 2 losses out of 3 is just not good enough.
Too soon to speak of a new era of City dominance?
Perhaps, but not because of an unlikely United resurgence, but because of Liverpool. Great players, great manager, great team work. Keita seems like the perfect addition to Salah, Mane and Firmino, and their defence have looked pretty so far this season. I think City and Liverpool will be first and second, but it's too soon to call in which order.

Is this the end of Mourinho world.United-Spurs 0-3 yet another three goals lost
and now united is on 13 position in Premier
Tragic defensive play.nothing good for Manchester
this loss is not in Mourinho it was on his players mistakes and you can see how in the first half how united performed they were clearly a better team then Spurs but Lukaku missed a big chance that could have been the turning point for them but in the second halve the defensive mistakes were catastrophique. and Mourinho have done big changes from previous game as he changed 6 players but still the same problem i guess he was right for pursuing the board in buying him a central defender as it looks like no one is good enough to play there, the only good point from this match is Luke Shaw he is showing Mourinho that he is up to the task to be the sole Left back after a summer full of spectaculation over hm staying or leaving.and now united is on 13 position in Premier
Tragic defensive play.nothing good for Manchester
Tbh it's also Mourinho mistakes, he don't have any plan b and his tactic always like that. When Man United can't make goals, mourinho other plan only subs Fellaini in and hoping he can make a goal from heading. Losing again and this is at their home Old trafford, i guess rip mourinho.
