The one thing he'd always do is fix the defence and it's the one thing he's not managed to do
Charlie Nicholas on Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho is the favourite with the bookies to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
Nicholas says the 55-year-old has never looked happy during his time at Old Trafford.
And he claims it is unlike Mourinho not to sort out his defence after having such a good defensive record in the past at clubs such as Chelsea.
“It’s like he is falling into this third-season syndrome again,” Nicholas said.
