While Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho is not in danger of being sacked, his job performance at Old Trafford has been absolutely atrocious thus far. Unless his side defeats Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday, the Red Devils will set a new record for least amount of points accrued after their first 11 matches.
Even worse, Mourinho himself made comments after the 2-1 loss to Fenerbahce this week that his team was not mentally prepared, not concentrated and not focused on the match.
Now who’s fault is that? How does he let that happen? Motivation, organization, preparation. That is LITERALLY the job of a Manager. What exactly is he doing? Because it’s definitely not his job.
Likewise with the attack. They aren’t doing their job either because United have scored more than one goal in a game just once, since way back August versus Southampton.
We’re now in November. Desperate times for United, but their opponents are in dire straits as well. The Swans are winless since opening day, and they present a potentially precarious matchup for United, as they have three of the past four meetings.
