Jose Mourinho should not be sacked, insists Garry Neville

Gary Neville insisted Manchester United should not sack Jose Mourinho despite his side’s humbling defeat by Tottenham. "We saw Louis van Gaal sacked after an FA Cup final victory, we saw David Moyes sacked with four games to go of a season, so we are no longer talking about a club that is behaving as it has historically done," he told Sky's Monday Night Football. "I accept these are different times and I accept the difficulties and challenges, but my honest view as I stand here now is that Ed Woodward gave him a contract last season ... he should see that contract through to the end and do the job. "You can't keep jumping around with managers. Neville did admit that faces "the biggest challenge he has had in football". "Jose Mourinho has been the most successful manager along with Pep Guardiola in the last 20 years in football and he is going through a difficult moment now over the last couple of seasons with Manchester United. "This is now the biggest task he has had in his life and the biggest challenge he has had in football. "He has got to come out of it because I have to say I look at the squad and the team and I'm not sure what the best XI is. "He is going to have to back certain players and just stick with it because at the moment they are changing every game. "The buck stops with the manager, it always does and it has to. At the moment there doesn't look to be a balanced outfit there at all."
