There have been an number of problems on and off the pitch, with stream of reports coming out of Manchester.
Shocking defeats against Brighton, West Ham and Derby have been compounded by player bust-ups, leaks and strike threats.
And to top it off, explosive reports emerged last night that Mourinho was set to be sacked this weekend regardless of the result against the Magpies.
She went on to claim that United fans will not bear to wait for another league title like Liverpool fans have been forced to.
She said: “I find it easier to sympathise with Benitez than with Mourinho — one of the few truly visionary managers, sharp and smart, with a way of bringing instant success and then seeming to chuck it away.
“He has always been a favourite of mine, a human factory of ideas and opinions, and apparently a perfect fit for United with their money and fame. But the Special One is now The Grumpy One.
“That should bring about Old Trafford shivers and, with Manchester City so rampantly excellent, Mourinho still faces a mountain of a job.
“Expectations at Old Trafford are high. But the owners and supporters are having to put up with tenth in the Premier League, poor things. At least, they beat Young Boys of Switzerland.”
"There is something rotten to the core of the decisions that have been made over the last four or five years," said Neville, who added that he did not know if the report about Mourinho was true.
"If I'm the person who employs the person underneath me and he fails, eventually I've got to take the responsibility. Eventually I've got to stand up and say: 'Look, I'm not good enough to do this.'"
