#4 Should Mourinho still go?

Mourinho is clearly not producing, but is it simplistic to cite him as the major issue?

Yes, tactically things haven't been going well.

But then relations between him and the board have not been smooth, especially in terms of attaining top players. It was clear that the team needed new defenders, and they haven't really secured this, despite moves for Alderweireld of Tottenham Hotspur.

Would a new manager have better relations with the board? It's moot. Would a "nicer" manager get more from the players? This again is debatable.

What's certain is that a new manager may get the most from the attacking players like Sanchez, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford, and other players who are not firing at the moment.

What's also certain is that United currently has a negative goal difference, and this needs to be corrected. Maybe a new manager would emphasise more on attacking, and thus correct this deficiency.
