Ryan Giggs says Manchester United need to stick with Jose Mourinho as parting ways with the manager would only harm the club’s long term prospect.
United’s lacklustre display in the goalless draw against Crystal Palace again raised questions over Mourinho’s future at the club. The Portuguese’s work has been scrutinised pretty severely since he took charge at the Old Trafford.
Mourinho had said prior to the match he would like to be in the top four by the start of the new year but his hopes were blown as United shared a point with minnows Palace.
The Red Devils are currently trailing by seven points from fourth placed Chelsea and need to ramp up the intensity to build something positive at the end of the season.
Giggs said, “I don’t see why changing the manager at this stage will change anything.
“Everyone knows what a successful manager he’s been over the years. I believe that bit of stability we’ve not had over the years – we need to stick with him.
“But results also need to change. I think we’ve got the manager, the players to do that.”
“Manchester City and Liverpool, the teams up there, they are consistent.
“When you’re not the gap is obviously going to be big.
“When your nearest rivals are that far ahead of you it’s hard to take. It’s still 13 games into the season, time to claw it back.
“But the only way of doing that is going on a run of seven or eight games unbeaten – small steps to build that confidence back up.”
