One would really be laughing and have their eyebrows raised if Manchester United's Jose Mourinho was not mentioned here. What is it with Jose and the third season? It's been a trajectory of the Portuguese manager to rise initially and then fall in the third season, which is the similar pattern of progress that Manchester United has been experiencing.

There has been no doubt that the club has received a better output overall since he's arrived but with a horrid start to the season and a recent form of having won one in seven, the media hunt has arrived in a spectacularly blazing fashion with Mourinho being plunged into the center of it all again.

Bad recruitment in the summer, a negative playing style and dismal individual performances plagued with inconsistencies have cumulatively inflicted a lot of damage to United's chances this season, but as it is the case in football, the manager faces the questions first.

Jose Mourinho's tenure, it seems is approaching a dangerous period and if Manchester United slip further, there will be a new face at the helm of one of England's greatest clubs. By the looks of it, he seems like a favourite to depart before the season is over, probably bidding his last farewell in England.
