If Manchester United lose to third-bottom Newcastle United José Mourinho will surely spend international week wondering about a tap-on-the-shoulder regarding his position. If United fail to win at home then this will be their worst run at Old Trafford since the 1989-90 season and Old Trafford may resound with jeers if the embattled manager stoops this low: given the side’s flatness it could happen.
