Manchester United despite sitting second in the Premier League does not appear to be happy with the brand of football being played at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho took over an absolutely distorted team from Louis Van Gaal in 2016.
In his first season in charge, he went on to lift the Europe League, League Cup and Community Shield with the club. The winning mentality which left the Theater of Dreams along with Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 appeared to be crawling back.
However, the 2017/18 is proving difficult for Jose's men. Much of the concern is regarding the "boring" and pragmatic brand of football being played at the club. After the gutless defeat to Sevilla at home, many fans demanded Jose be sacked so that they can get the Old Trafford buzzing again.
The wrath of some United fans...
On that note, here is a list of the managers who could give the club what it is missing under the Portuguese boss this season.
#3 Mauricio Pochettino
The Premier League's current crop of managers is illustrious. The likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp have won almost everything as far as club football is concerned. In comparison to these elite managers, Mauricio Pochettino comes across as an upstart who has gathered much attention in the past few years.
The Argentine took over from Tim Sherwood in 2014 and has delivered beyond what was thought possible at the White Hart Lane club.
Under his management, Spurs have been a delight to watch with their free-flowing style of game. His high pressing and attacking philosophy accompanied by his 4-2-3-1 formation makes it difficult to breach the team's defence.
His eye for young talent is probably the best in Europe at the moment. He has transformed players like Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier to name a few and into top-class talents. The 46-year-old has already been linked to the Real Madrid job.
In him, Old Trafford would get a manager with a lot of Premier League experience. The success he could bring to the Red Devils would be simply ineffable given their financial prowess over the Londoners.
#2 Joachim Löw
If there is one manager in the game who has delivered on each and every occasion, it is only Joachim Low. Having won the World Cup and the Confederations Cup already, the manager is currently at the peak of his powers.
Doubts have been raised about Low's ability, given he has managed a German national team which has always been filled with superstars. The German answered his critics in style as he went on to lift the Confederations Cup leading a "B" team with an average squad age of 25.
His style of play needs absolutely no introduction. All one needs to say is that his Germany team went onto rip the Brazilian defence apart, on their soil, in a 7-1 hammering at the 2014 World Cup.
The only negative on his resume, however, would be his inexperience in modern club football. It would be a gamble worth taking as he could emulate Antonio Conte who left his national duty to manage Chelsea and lift the Premier League in his debut season.
However, the German boss would surely be among the top names on the list to replace Mourinho, should United sack the Portuguese boss.
#1 Carlo Ancelotti
The Spanish giants sacked Ancelotti only a year after he had won them the European La Decima. Following that, he went on to manage Bayern Munich and was sacked in Germany after the team's disastrous start to the 2017-18 season.
Despite his latest woes in management, the Italian is the only manager alongside Mourinho who is on the run to become the only manager to have won the Champions League with three different clubs.
The manager believes in a free-flowing game and expects the success to follow. Under his management, Real Madrid had ripped Atletico's rigid defence apart to win La Decima.
Ancelotti's appointment has always brought silverware to his employers in the past. He has the experience of management in England too, with Chelsea. The manager was sacked at the Stamford Bridge despite winning three trophies within 18 months.
The former AC Milan manager should also be on Chelsea's radar this summer and the Italian would be the most attainable man for the Manchester United job if required.
