Terrace Talk: Man United - Will Mourinho be first casualty of high-stakes strategy?

In the euphoric afterglow of the Liverpool victory, some of you may have been wondering about the seemingly anachronistic downbeat coda to last week’s column.

To recap the core thereof: “Mourinho’s squad is not where he thought it would be by now... he has not finally settled his personnel... sources claim up to half a dozen players (could) leave the club this summer.”

Well, I daresay that now makes a bit more sense after the past week’s upsets.
