Ch.league will not start again before February. And it looks clearly Mourinho has give up on the league and with top 4. Then the solution should be pay him off. And give the money to the caretaker manager to spend in January. And maybe he doesnt need to strenght cb options, but go for others positions or save the money for summer. Give the caretaker manager as most time as possible. To imploid playing on the front foot, aggresive and high intensity and to build team and a strong starting line up.
Woodward, if he have personal issues with Mourinho. He should put what is best for the club, dont keep fighting with Mourinho going. Because with Mourinho in charge until Feb. The gap beetween top 4 will just become bigger. And its not good for the fans. Give them someting to cheer, by scoring goals and winning matches in the league. And with Nicky Butt instead of Mourinho. Im sure United will get more points in the league until the end of the season. Simply because Mourinho is on a negative spiral, then it will be like a domino effect. Stop it, bring in positive and fresh energy and spiral, then thing will change. If not much, im sure it will change.
