Scholes says Mourinho needs fast United fix or he faces the sack

  • SOUNDBITE (English) Paul Scholes, Former England and Manchester United

    (saying Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho's job could be on the line this season)

    "Do I think he will leave? I've absolutely no idea. He needs to get off to a good start this season, there's no doubt about that. I think a lot will depend on how his team plays, you know. If his team don't do well, if they're not playing well, if they're not entertaining people, they're not challenging for the league, then he possibly could go, yeah. But he's got great experience, he's been at top clubs, he's been in difficult positions before, he's in a difficult position now I think, but he needs to try to find a way to get out of it."

    (saying Manchester United don't have a team that can compete for the Premier League title this year)

    "When you look at Manchester City, possibly Liverpool, I don't think they have the quality of them two teams at the minute. Eh, possibly not Liverpool, Liverpool have made some really good signings. United finished above them last season. I just don't see United getting closer to City. City are a really good side, great manager, some great players, a way of playing that they all know about and Manchester United seem to be not too sure what's going on. You don't really know the team, you don't really know the players, you don't know how they're going to perform from one week to the next. So I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see them challenging for the league this year."
