Jose Mourinho sack claim made by BBC Sport pundit after Man Utd lose to Tottenham

JOSE MOURINHO faces the sack at Manchester United because he does not have a good relationship with Ed Woodward.
That is the view of former Celtic striker and now BBC pundit Chris Sutton.
Jose Mourinho was powerless to prevent Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham on Monday night.
The manager has endured a miserable few months at United, having gone through the summer transfer window signing just two first-team players.
Mourinho has insisted he has a good relationship with his boss, executive-vice chairman Ed Woodward.
But Sutton is having none it and reckons this Spurs defeat - which comes after a 3-2 loss to Brighton last weekend - could turn the fans against the manager.
“Could he be sacked in the morning?” Sutton asked on BBC 5Live.
“Jose Mourinho says he has a good relationship with Ed Woodward, but if you believe that, you must have been on the vino.
“United fans were behind him after the Brighton game, but I'm not so sure where they stand now.”
Chants of “sacked in the morning” were heard ringing out from the away end as Spurs stunned
Manchester United to move second in the table.
And Sutton admits United are struggling to find answers across the park.
“Where do Man United go from here?” he asked.
“If they are hoping to win a title, they are not going to do it with Jose Mourinho in the dugout.
“Are Manchester United the new Arsenal?
“You can’t argue with his record but we are living in the present, and Man United are not progressing.
“It is just long ball after long ball.”
United now sit 13th in the Premier League, six points off the likes of Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea.
And Sutton did not pull any punches when assessing the match.
“It is an embarrassment to lose in the manner which they did,” he said after the whistle. “3-0 flattered United and I don't know where they, or their manager goes from here.
“I don't know whether that was a signal at the end with the fans.
“United were in a position of strength at the end of last season but they are a club in regression on the pitch and it needs sorting out.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine Drives The Flashiest Ferrari You've Ever Seen

Tekashi's car seriously matches his hair. When you think of 6ix9ine, you probably picture his obnoxiously-colored rainbow hair and teeth in your mind. The man has built a brand off of a combination of his unique image, his stylistic blend of different musical genres, and his Instagram trolling. Currently on a trip to Dubai, Tekashi has been keeping his fans updated with his latest stunting news. Yesterday, the artist revealed that he had spent $50K after spending just 10 minutes inside the Gucci store. Some would say that he's being financially irresponsible but considering all of the success he's experienced this year, his paychecks are probably looking larger than life.

In a place where nearly everybody drives an expensive whip, it can be hard to outdo the residents of Dubai. Unless your name is Tekashi 6ix9ine , that is. While riding t...
