Special measure

WITH NEIL MASUDA

THE very differing fortunes of three bosses unfold this week.

First – and possibly most important – is the latest imbroglio in the troubled life of Jose Mourinho.

Tomorrow night, his Red Devils host a Tottenham side getting their act together – and with Harry Kane scoring in August.

Lose – and Mourinho will have to fight off even more brickbats from fans, pundits and Ed Woodward.

Following his unhappy trip to the seaside in Brighton, would it be too far-fetched to envisage something akin to his early Chelsea II departure?

Jose may bravely tough it out, though, because, as he said earlier this week, it IS Man United.

And not forgetting the other salient fact... that he IS on £13million a year at Old Trafford.

The following evening, Manuel Pellegrini faces the biggest potential banana skin of his short Hammers career – against AFC Wimbledon.

Away on a Tuesday night
