Manchester United‘s Board of Directors have already decided that Jose Mourinho will not be sacked.

And this is not about the Saturday’s result at Old Trafford against Newcastle United.

Anthony Taylor(the referee) blew his whistle to signal the end of a crazy first half at Old Trafford, with Newcastle leading 2-0 thanks to goals inside the first 10 minutes from Kenedy and Muto.

United, who then made an early tactical change by bringing on Mata for Bailly, have barely threatened thereafter and there was a chorus of boos ringing out around at stadium

However, Mata, Martial and Sanchez stepped up in the second half,  in the five goals thriller to give Manchester United the home victory to cancel the two nil lead

Mata converted a free kick over the Newcastle wall and past Dubravka at his left-hand post for his second goal of the season, while Martial low drive at the near post with a delightful back hell pass from Pogba.

And in 90th minutes Sanche made the incredible header after Good patient build-up play by United and overlapping cross from Young down the right.

Before the match speculation has been mounting that the Portuguese has reached a point of no return following the club’s worst start to a season in 29 years.

And that he would be sacked after the game against Newcastle, regardless of the result.

However, some sources in the know understands Mourinho retains the support of the club’s board and there is no immediate threat to his position.
