United have endured a torrid week, losing their last three matches in all competitions, but according to the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho will have to stick his current squad for the time being.

“I get the feeling Mourinho’s last tactical success was that Champions League game between Inter Milan and Barcelona”, Dugarry said, referring to Inter’s 2009-10 Champions League semi-final triumph.

“Ibra is a cone”. “People talk about his stats, but he’s a cone”.

“He has won some titles since, but I think he has lost the plot”.

“Sir Alex Ferguson’s “hairdryer” treatment became infamous at Old Trafford but Mourinho’s rebukes are believed to carry a nastier edge that has not gone down well in the dressing room”.

Raiola praised United’s proactive business in the market, having seen the club also sign another of his clients, the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Shaw has picked up the odd niggle so far this season, leading him to withdraw from England’s World Cup qualifier in Slovakia and miss last week’s trip to Holland to play Feyenoord.

Manchester United midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata on Monday insisted that the English football club must stand together after falling to a third consecutive defeat against Watford on Sunday afternoon.

“He always blames the referee or their opponents” good fortune.

They head to Northampton Town on Wednesday for an EFL Cup third-round fixture, with Mourinho expected to make wholesale changes to his regular line-up.
