Mourinho, had been given assurances over his position following reports he was due to be sacked before the October international

Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward was
determined to give his manager time to turn
United’s fortunes around. But it was the
tension between the two over United’s
summer transfer business that lay the
foundations for the troubles that followed.

Mourinho was infuriated by the failure to
land a top class centre back and a right

the man who is hunted, they are not coping
well with it.

experiences. Some are new and some are dejavu.

a better manager, but a better human.

and I survive, I am mature, I am a big boy.”
