Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho could be booted out of Old Trafford by the end of week.
Reports in the UK media claim that staff believe the Special One will be the one that pays the price for the Red Devils’ worst start to a league campaign in 29 years.
In a week when United were knocked out the League Cup in the third round by Championship side Derby, Jose’s manne were swak again in Saturday’s 3-1 loss at West Ham.
With just nine points after seven games in the Premier League and ongoing feuds with stars like Paul Pogba, Alexis Sanchez, Anthony Martial and Eric Bailly, it is said that players and staff were openly discussing the prospect of Mourinho losing his job as they made the journey back by train to Manchester this weekend.

Jose and Pogba were filmed botsing last week and was stripped of the vice-captaincy.
Former boss Alex Ferguson, meanwhile, reportedly fears that his beloved club is in danger of turning into a laughing stock.
The Mirror claims that Fergie is worried that the Red Devils are becoming “a circus act” after he retired in 2013 with Mourinho possibly joining David Moyes and Louis van Gaal on the managerial scrapheap.
CEO Ed Woodward cannot escape the growing unrest and lack of wins.
Mourinho will not walk away from a £15million-a-year contract but staff are well aware that such results cannot be allowed to continue for much longer.
