The pressure is on for the three-time Premier League winner but time is of the essence and he must get United back on track quickly or risk his job

It looks as though things are unravelling at Old Trafford, right in time for those who predicted a third-season meltdown for the Portuguese.
Whatever happens between now and next summer there is still a job to do and still objectives to reach.
