Man Utd Chiefs Put Faith in Ed Woodward to Solve Jose Mourinho & Paul Pogba Crisis

Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been given the final say over the fiasco surrounding manager José Mourinho, according to reports.

The Portuguese manager has been at the centre of attention due to his attitude in pre-season, while a spat with Paul Pogba just two games into the Premier League campaign has reportedly pushed Mourinho further out of favour in the club's dressing room.

The most senior officials at Manchester United have already acknowledged that there is a problem within the club, namely their 55-year-old head coach, Mourinho.

However, the Daily Mail have claimed that executive vice-chairman Woodward has been told it is his responsibility to fix the ongoing issues at Old Trafford, with the administration opting out of direct actions themselves.
