That is the opinion of football manager Ian Holloway.

United have recorded their worst ever points total at this stage in the Premier League era.

That was enough to convince the board to finally call time on Jose Mourinho’s tenure.

Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward delivered the news to Mourinho in a meeting on Tuesday morning.

Holloway has now questioned the United board and if the right people are in charge upstairs.

"Do their owners really want it?” he asked on Love Sport Radio.

"It makes them lots of money, but that’s not what football is about is it?

"It’s your heart and soul it shouldn’t make you money, it’s not about that.

"It’s about how your fans care and the size of your club.

"Where your previous manager, under his guidance with the help of a wonderful person, the way Sir Alex Ferguson got on with every bit of business they ever did was so professional, so on the ball and that’s going to be a hard act to follow.”

The former QPR boss then insisted that anyone brought in is not going to be as good as Sir Alex and they should consider giving him a call.
