Twitter tore into United, Mourinho after disastrous start vs. Newcastle
This was likely not the response Jose Mourinho was hoping for from his squad.
Manchester United's board was quick to reject a report that stated the Portuguese boss was set to be dismissed as manager regardless of Saturday's result against Newcastle, though the club's directors probably didn't envision them going down 2-0 at home in the opening 10 minutes against the Magpies - currently the joint-worst team in the league.
With all eyes on how the Red Devils would react amid the reports of Mourinho's looming dismissal, Twitter was savagely quick to rip into the club's early struggles Saturday.
