Ed Woodward and Jose Mourinho have been in a running battle all season. From the pre-season to the start of the season, the ex Manchester United boss has aimed so many swipes at his boss.

Mourinho reportedly submitted a three man transfer shortlist to Ed Woodward in the summer, and none of the players on the shortlist were eventually acquired by United.

Woodward is reported to have vetoed the signing of Toby Alderweireld and Jerome Boateng because they were old players and have no sell on value.

Mourinho also wanted Martial gone according to various reports in the summer. Ed Woodward and the board did not want a repeat of the Pogba situation, and asked the manager to settle it with his French star.

Jose Mourinho has finally eaten more than he can chew, and the board has decided that a change of manager is best for the Red Devils moving forward. In the end, what Jose feared finally caught up with him.

The third season syndrome is real.
