The Manchester United supporting punters here in the Transfer Tavern are seemingly content with life under Jose Mourinho following an initial turbulent start to his tenure as manager.

United are nicely poised in the Premier League and if they win the two games which they have in hand over Liverpool in fourth, then they will move into contention for a Champions League place.

The Red Devils supporters who can regularly be found supping the night away are excited at what the future holds under Mourinho, although he does have some critics still, with some feeling that he should give the younger players a go more often.

Our landlord is filling up the fridges ahead of another busy weekend of football and the United fans have got talking about their season so far.

Lee Clarke looks at two players who have regressed under the stewardship of the Manchester United boss.

Marcus Rashford

The 19-year-old has scored just three Premier League goals so far this season and his chances to play have been pretty limited under Mourinho.

The situation with Rashford has not gone down well with the United fans in the Tavern, who believe that unless Mourinho starts playing the youngster soon, will face a backlash from the supporters.

Phil Jones

The versatile United performer has struggled with injuries this season but after being given a chance to shine in the team he hasn’t really taken his chance.

Jones must be one of the players who United are looking to replace next season and some fans here in the Tavern are already of the opinion that he could be sold in the summer.
