Not a day goes by that José Mourinho's name is not mentioned in reference to MUFC's troubles but is he the only one to blame?

Mourinho has to take some of the blame. He has fallen out with a lot of the players, can't get the best out of Pogba ,Sanchez,and Marital, no set style of play,and he has stuck with some average players.
The board have to take responsibility for hiring Mourinho and not hiring a director of football to help with recruitment. Manchester United are in an atrocious state right now and it will take a few years to resolve this.
TBH, i dont think anyone would have got the best out of pogba as a CM, he just isnt diceplined enought, its not Joses fault, However pogba could become a heck of a player if he was playing anywhere across the front 3, i would love to see him as a striker or playing off him on the left.
Sanchez is a fitness issue, last season he probably went into a depression having to be foreced to stayed at Arsenal and it showed in his fitness levels and became so over weight, this season will show how good mourihno is in handling him as he seems to be getting back to his best fitness.
and, martial seems to be an attitude problem, he is a heck of a player, who if left would go on to be better then salah or debryne but martial is not a jose mourinho player, he wants a wide man who can ran back and double up with the left back, martial is not interested in tracking back.
Its easy to blame Jose here but when you hire him you know what your getting and in return in gives you trophies, but for that you have to back him and give him the players he wants, but the board havnt given him it, jose needs full control otherwise hiring him is useless, like he said at the begining of the season he is just a coach here and not a manager and now he has to coach players that dont suit his style, while new transfers is being handled by a guy who has never kicked a football.
Lol Deschsmps,Conte,and Allegri all have got much more of Pogba than Mourinho has. They are defensive managers and they have played him cm as well.
Sanchez is on the decline but his confidence is gone and he is bringing nothing to the side. If you don't want to blame Mourinho for his form, he should be blamed for signing him in the first place.
And why haven't we heard about Martial attitude problems anywhere else ? No other manager has said anything negative about Martial attitude. Don't agree with that at all. Mourinho got the best out of Hazard in his first 2 seasons at Chelsea so he should put his ego to one side and try to get more out of Martial and have more belief in him. If not he should have moved him on and let someone make use of him.
He has been backed. He has been given £400 million. How much more backing does he need ? It was clear after his final run at Chelsea he was on the way down. The board maybe should have backed him more but why would you back a manager who can't get the best out of his players and throws players under the bus after 1 bad performance.
They should have hired a director of football to help out with transfers as recruitment at Manchester United has been awful for a while.
Playing in series A is completly different to EPL, conte or allegri wont get the same performances out of pogba in EPL with him not tracking back, he can get away with it in series A but never in EPL. Yes he did it when it mattered in the WC but outside of the WC he has the same problems as seen this week.
I dnt agree with sanchez on the decline, last season he was out of shape and his fitness was terrible, he should atleast be given this season before we judge him.
Also im not even sure Mourinho wanted him, it looks like woodward was after a marque signing like Bale who he has been after since he got this job and when Sanchez became available he pounced on it.
You talk about him getting £400m new sigings but there is a difference in him being 'backed' and being 'given' the sigings.
Its the same with martial you say he should be sold if he doesnt want him, well its not news that he always wanted to offload him since he arrived.
If you signed Mourinho and want the best out of him, you have to give him what he wants and stop fiddling in his affairs. Otherwise he should never be appointed, woodward looks like he wants to be the manager of the club and let mourihno be a simple coach, which will never work.
Seria A is much more defensive than EPL. He showed in the world cup he is capable of playing without the ball.
I think Manchester United just wanted to get 1 over Man City by signing Sanchez.
And do you have any proof he has been given the signings? He wanted Pogba at Chelsea. He definitely signed Zlatan. Lukaku was surely his buy.
Mourinho should have never been appointeed Manchester United manager. Overall he has been failure.
In the news once again JM and another win turned into a draw?
