Sky Sports pundit, Charlie Nicholas, has claimed that Manchester United could sack Jose Mourinho before the next international break is over.
According to him, “the bell ringing for Zinedine Zidane is getting louder”.
United were held to a goalless draw by Valencia in the Champions League group-stage match at Old Trafford on Tuesday, meaning Mourinho has now gone four consecutive home games in all competitions without a win.
Nicholas said on Soccer Special: “Well it’s a really tame, poor performance that lacked any real desire.
“Defensively they were OK, but this was another poor, boring, and dull Manchester United performance.
“Of course, all the pressure is going to come on the manager. There will be a bit that will get to [Alexis] Sanchez’s door because he was taken off again, and [Paul] Pogba’s door, but these players can go home tonight, they can turn up tomorrow and they’ll get on with it.
“The questions will be asked, and it’ll be Jose who’s going to have to face the music.
“It’s running down, I didn’t expect him to finish this season but I didn’t see it ending like this. I don’t see this lasting.
“I think we might come back from the international break and if Jose is in the pain that he looks in, I think there’ll be a deal done. Everyone is ringing this Zidane bell at the moment. It’s going to get louder this week.”
