I think at this point, Mourinho wants to avoid getting sacked and just leave on his own terms in the summer. A sacking would not reflect well on him. But if he takes us to Top 4 despite playing bad football, he could still claim, "2 cups, 3 CL qualifications while not being backed by big bad Ed" on his CV. Maybe prep himself for the Inter job next.

At HT. That first half saw a very determined and motivated performance. Think it's pretty obvious that the team is responding and performing for the manager. Let's hope there won't be any crazy mistakes in the 2nd half.
Qualification...Obviously if we finish 6th and win the CL he”ll definitely stay.I can’t see us winning it,so top 4 is our only chance...
I love how the Mourinho out and Mourinho in thread are both bumped

I felt like I had to bump it since I saw the other thread out in full flow when we're playing really well.It looks like he's supported by match going fans now more than ever. They chanted his name most of the game.
The traveling fans are always the best.
That is because the away fans are a special breed; they back everyone at the club through thick and thin.
It is much easier to shout abuse at players and managers when you are on your computer.
Absolute top class again today.
Away crowd were chanting Mourinho's name quite heavily at 0-0 if anyone heard? Or was it at 1-0. NBC Commentators eluded to it anyway.
So can we expect more media stories about how he's lost the dressing room tonight..?
That's how I was brought up to support United and that's how it should be for everybody who calls themselves a fan.
Our fans have done themselves proud over the last two matches.
Always have supported Jose! Massive character, he’s the best person to lead this club! Great support for him from the fans today and rightfully so.
feck yous!
Yes !!! They will say Alexis ... it’s his turn haha stupid mediaSo can we expect more media stories about how he's lost the dressing room tonight..?

Haha. Probably. I saw the NBC broadcast and first half they spent much of it talking about how bad Burnley were, not that we dominated them and they couldn't play. They also didn't make a lot of the pen we should have had or that Mee should have been sent off there when he handled the ball (last man) obstructing a clear goal opportunity.
Burnley 0:2 Man Utd
Can't knock his tactics today. Fool (Pogba/Rashford) proof.
This! Back Jose.
They chanted it all game long and when we went down to 10 men 'Mourinho's red army' was the chant on loop.
Saw that and saw the killjoy, jobsworth steward trying to stop him from doing so.
We need more consecutive wins to establish if the summer crisis is over.
He somehow still hasn't lost the players.
They were absymal in their coverage weren’t they?
Pathetic regarding the lack of insight.
In Jose we trust!
It's awfully quiet in here.
Yep not even close.
I just wish the players were better finishers, so many of our games would be very different if we put our chances away.
Yes, truly. I think it's the anti-Mourinho vibe. It's everywhere.
I will wait for the melters to blame Rashford red card and Lukaku wastefulness on Jose
Where's the gif of him giving his jacket away to the fans
United's away fans are the best in the country in terms of the variety of their songs, but i don't see how it's top class to sing the praises of a man who's served up such dire football over the last few months and done us down in the press with his 'heritage' rants.
Great to see the team perform for him. We have to stick with him and support the team.
I used to hang out with a few regulars before work got in the way, they have some serious passion for the game. Quite a few of them were not even from Manchester and would travel all over the country and would go to 90% of home games.
We've just beaten a poor side 2-0. We played well today but it's only one game.
Still think he'll be gone at the end of the season. After the way he's been treated by Woodward, I can't blame him tbh. It'll be the best thing for everyone if he moves on.
JM in or out, we got points today, Burnely isnt in best place right now but thats not our problem. So people can judge after this game how they want, after Tottenham, there were some instane posts about how JM did nothing wrong which was mental to say at least.
It's just like LvG's second season, papering over the cracks against a dross side, we were still terrible to watch and nothing will change until he goes.
Next time we drop points everyone should make sure to send you a PM
Think that's harsh. We were good today. But as you say, it's just one game.
