Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has claimed that Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, may not last long at the Old Trafford.
The former Porto and Chelsea boss is hanging on at the Old Trafford after a dismal pre-season and start to the Premier League campaign.
Although, the United boss has been upbeating at press conferences lately, but Shearer feels he will struggle to ‘ride it out’.
“I understand where Jose is coming from but his team have to answer the criticisms for him,” he told Coral.
“He made a point against Spurs by playing Herrera at centre-back when he had defenders who were fit to play on the bench.
“If that isn’t sending a message to his vice-chairman, I don’t know what is.
“He clearly did not get the players he wanted in the summer.
“It was well documented that he wanted a centre-half.
“He also talked a while back about how maybe he should now be called the head coach and not the manager.
“That is also a dig at the vice-chairman, implying he has no control of the players he brings in or sells.
“I don’t think he is going to ride this out.”
