Premiership football returns this weekend after the international break and for under pressure Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho a tough return to his former club Chelsea, currently sitting joint top.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s poor start to the season \u2013 their worst in a generation – led many observers to speculate that the Portuguese \u2018Special One\u2019 might be sacked, but the Red Devils fought back being two-nil down against Newcastle to win 3-2.<\/p>\nMan Utd manager Jose Mourinho.

But the beleaguered manager faces a series of challenges in the coming weeks. Following United\u2019s league game at Chelsea, they must play current league champions Manchester City and European giants Juventus, home and away, in back to back weeks.<\/p>\n
Manchester Evening News\u2019s head of football, Alice McKeegan, believes the next six weeks will determine Jose Mourinho\u2019s long term future with the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be a difficult game at Stamford Bridge to face his old club,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlayers like Hazard will definitely have a point to prove. I think many would consider a draw a good result. Critics had begun to write him off, saying he was finished at United. However, doubts over Mourinho have died down after their stirring comeback against Newcastle.\u201d<\/p>\nAlice McKeegan talks to young journalists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Despite Mourinho\u2019s poor performances, many fans have said the blame for the run of disappointing results must be at least shared with the club\u2019s upper structure and the likes of Ed Woodward. Some have questioned why United didn\u2019t go for former hero Ronaldo, now at Juventus, when he became available in the summer.<\/p>\n
McKeegan is among those who queried whether United\u2019s board should be pursuing the former fans\u2019 favourite. Given the team\u2019s loss of form and apparent loss of confidence, he may have been the talisman to re-ignite Old Trafford passions.<\/p>\n
But it didn\u2019t happen. The team\u2019s stirring fightback against Newcastle may have saved Mourinho for now, but he\u2019s definitely not out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
