Mourinho not trusted by the board?

#4 The reason for mistrust and January window

Hull City v Manchester United - Premier League
Not enough confidence in Mourinho?

Mourinho didn’t get what he wanted in the transfer market because the board didn’t entirely trust him with it. According to Manchester Evening News, the board didn’t back his decision to go for an experienced defender to strengthen the backline.

However, The Sun claims that the board is willing to back him in the transfer market in January but there is an IF clause here. The Red Devils will only sanction signings of players who have a good future value.

There is also another if clause here: the price. If the present price is right, they would back Mourinho and sign his target.
