Manchester United Dismiss Jose Mourinho Sack Rumours as 'Nonsense' as Manager Begs for Support

Manchester United manager José Mourinho issued a 'back-me-or-sack-me' plea to his employers in the hopes of getting public support ahead of Newcastle United's trip to Old Trafford on Saturday, according to reports.

The Portuguese head coach has been at the centre of attention in the Premier League this season due to a long-running feud with midfielder Paul Pogba.

Issues off the pitch haven't been helped by results on them either. Manchester United haven't won a game across all competitions since September 19, a Champions League match against BSC Young Boys, while their last win at Old Trafford came all the way back on the opening day of the season.
