The worst fears for Manchester United fans were confirmed today, as Tottenham Hotspur destroyed Mourinho's men at Old Trafford.
A 3-0 loss was enough to set the Red Devils in crisis mode, and if José Mourinho's future was in doubt before this game, now "The Special One" will have to work overtime to see him extending his stay as Manchester's coach.
Even if he survicves the ax, the Portuguese boss will never forget this loss, mainly due to the massive difference between his team and Tottenham.
