Under Louis van Gaal, United also insisted there was nothing to claims that Jose Mourinho would replace him.
Except, hours after the Red Devils had won the FA Cup, he was sacked with Mourinho then coming in.

What all those managers have in common was that they weren’t backed in the transfer market when their sides were falling apart.
