Manchester United aren't in a good place at the moment.Jose Mourinho made six changes for their game against Tottenham Hotspur, with Romelu Lukaku, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling among those restored to the starting line-up
But it did not pay off for Mourinho's side.Despite playing their best football of the season in the first-half, they could not find a way past Hugo Lloris in the Tottenham goal
And it was Tottenham who broke the deadlock, as Harry Kane's header five minutes into the second half stunned Old Trafford
And the floodgates opened from there.Lucas Moura doubled Tottenham's lead just two minutes later, and the Brazilian would score again five minutes from the end of the game to seal a 3-0 victory for the away side
One man who would not have been impressed with the result was executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward
Woodward and Mourinho are believed to have a frosty relationship after multiple disagreements on transfers in the summer
The camera panned to him in the 85th minute looking extremely glum, shortly after Moura scored his second of the night to make it 3-0
But it was the actions of his colleague sitting beside him that has caused a stir
He can be seen saying something to Woodward, and it does look as if he told Woodward to sack Mourinho
That was a view shared by many on Twitter as the footage quickly spread across the social media platform
That is mad.Given Mourinho has picked up just three points from his opening three games, it could well be the case that he is the first manager in the Premier League to lose his job this season
Despite losing 3-0, Mourinho maintained that Man United were the better team on the night
"The fans are the best judges in football and they were fantastic to the players," he said, per the BBC
"I wanted to make sure the fans had from us what they deserve and wanted to be fair to them because they were fantastic
I don't consider it a difficult time."[We were] the best team, the offensive team, the team that pressed hard, that created chances and missed chances, but then from the first corner that Tottenham had they scored one goal and immediately that team was in the game
"I'm frustrated but I'm happy with the players and the performance.We created more chances today than in the majority of our matches
"What I was trying to do was to keep their motivation and that's not easy."Normally when you play well you win it, and that's what I try not to let go away with the score
