From what I've read and the Total Soccer Podcast episode I just listened to about ManU, Jose and his agent basically leveraged the open PSG job over the summer and Man U more or less panicked and gave him a contract extension. But I personally believe that unless there's something barring it in his contract, ManU will let him go whenever they've had enough. All the Top 6 clubs are basically bottomless pits of money at this point, and they're the biggest of the bunch.
I also think they desperately need to get rid of him though for a million reasons:
- He's a huge asshole--its somewhat fine to be an asshole coach in practice and the locker room and whatnot, but continuously throwing players under the bus in front of the media is completely different level
- His track record is pretty established at this point. Year 2 is the peak and year 3 is a train wreck
- He's supposedly not even on speaking terms with the their Director of Football anymore after the last transfer window because he wasn't given enough transfer $$ in his eyes. The DoF is the person who actually decides who the club buys.
-His style of soccer already didn't jive with the "Man U way", but on top of that it doesn't even seem to be effective anymore
-His style of soccer is boring as hell from an entertainment standpoint
- Pogba is supposedly sick of him, and the rumblings late in the transfer window of him going to Barca were supposedly put out by his agent as a threat to ManU/Jose. It wouldn't surprise me if they basically say "its me or him" after this summer (assuming Jose isn't already gone)
