Jose Mourinho's tenure as Manchester United boss could be coming to an end, with the Portuguese boss having lost the faith of senior figures in the club's boardroom.
It is even thought that the manager could be shown the door as early as next week if the Red Devils lose to Newcastle at home on Saturday.
According to The Sun, the only thing standing in the way of Mourinho getting the axe is the fact that Zinedine Zidane hasn't given the club much encouragement where their replacing of the former Chelsea boss is concerned.
It is understood that the board were fully behind the manager after what they considered to be two good seasons - Mourinho won the Europa League and finished second in the Premier League at the end of his first term in charge and reached the FA Cup final last season.
