#2 The board is prioritising money over football
One thing after the result was clear, the fans at Man Utd were behind Jose Mourinho, chanting his name all the while but had turned on the club's vice-chairman Ed Woodward. The club's current boss was seen with a rather straight face while the fans rejoiced after the comeback win. This didn't go well with the supporters many of whom have questioned the way Jose's reported news of sacking is being leaked out to the press.
Woodward allegedly not backing the Portuguese in the transfer market this season was also a cause of criticism. Many supporters feel that the board gave up even before the season began as they did not give the manager the players that he needed to get a decent campaign. This has obviously led to a bit of sympathy and backing for Mourinho from a major section of the United faithful.
What is more concerning is that the board is being accused of not being too keen on the footballing side of things. A statement earlier this year by Woodward claiming how the club's profits do not depend on the results on the pitch, in fact, raised many eyebrows. It has led to questions whether the board is prioritising the club as a brand rather than as a football club. A club which used passion as its key ingredient and not profits.
