Jose Mourinho is finding life at Manchester United more difficult than he may have imagined. Is he the right fit to restore glory to the Red Devils?

Jose Mourinho is a divisive figure. When he was winning trophies his narcissistic behavior was tolerated. Recently, however, the self-professed special one has not looked so special.

Last December Chelsea fired him with the team sitting 16th in the table.

Now at United, Mourinho is trying to bring the good times back to Old Trafford. He’s quickly learning that it’s not that easy.

The Red Devils did not record a league win in the entire month of October. They are in eighth place after ten games.

Of course a manager with Mourinho’s pedigree will be given time to turn things around. Yet there are already some concerns he may not be right for United.

Here are five reasons why Manchester United should consider giving up on Mourinho.
