DBasia.news – The future of Jose Mourinho at Manchester United is on the edge. No wonder, there are many problems in his third season at Old Trafford.
The heating relationship between Jose Mourinho and Manchester United’s high-officials started in the 2018 summer transfer market. At that time, Mourinho criticized The Red Devils’ transfer.
Jose Mourinho admitted has submitted five names to the high-officials. However, from the list just one name being recruited, Fred.
As a whole, Manchester United just recruited three players during the 2018 summer transfer market. Besides Fred, the other two players are Lee Grand and Diogo Dalot.
The problem is, it’s only Fred who has the probability to be Manchester United’s main player. While Lee Grant and Dalot are predicted to stay on the bench.
The situation was getting worse after Manchester United surprisingly defeated by Brighton and Hove Albion. The situation made Manchester United in doubt to repeat the last season’s achievement, the runner-up of Premier League.
Besides, Jose Mourinho also had a clash with the current Manchester United’s captain, Paul Pogba. Mourinho mocked Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola.
Many problems made Manchester United become unstable since the resignation of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Jose Mourinho repeated his successor.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United handled by David Moyes and Louis van Gaal. Same as Jose Mourinho, both managers have problems with Manchester United.
The situation made the supporters miss a figure like Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scotland coach could maintain the situation in the dressing room and gave the champion mental for The Red Devils.
In Sir Alex Ferguson era, Manchester United were the deadly club. But until now, the opponents no longer fear The Red Devils.
Jose Mourinho should do the initial step to revise the current strategy. In Sir Alex Ferguson era, Manchester United were known for the two or three strikers formation.
Manchester United almost play with 4-4-2 formation all the time under Sir Alex Ferguson. The alternative was the 4-3-3 scheme.
It means Manchester United have the fixed scheme under Sir Alex Ferguson. It’s a bit different under Jose Mourinho who often changes the strategy.
Under Jose Mourinho, Manchester United often play in the 4-2-3-1 formation. But sometimes, Paul Pogba and friends played in the 3-5-2, 4-3-3, or 4-1-4-1 scheme.
For the sake of reviving Manchester United, Jose Mourinho should have the basic scheme. The variation is okay to do, but the playing formula must be fixed.

Besides, Jose Mourinho should do the same approach as Sir Alex Ferguson before the match. The Portuguese manager often used the defending approach.
In fact, Sir Alex Ferguson established the boring attacking style. But Manchester United’s scheme under the Scotland coach remained the same.
However, by the same repeating scheme, Manchester United often got the surprising victory. The Red Devils also hard to defeat.
The performance approach like Sir Alex Ferguson should be the reference for Jose Mourinho. The approach might revive the Manchester United’s glory times.
However, Jose Mourinho prefers the defending football who often slowed down after one goal ahead. The approach has been conducted since he led FC Porto.
In fact, Sir Alex Ferguson’s approach could boost the confidence of Manchester United players. But, Jose Mourinho seems won’t change his approach.
