Jose Mourinho looked ahead to Manchester United’s difficult run of fixtures following the international break in the club’s programme notes.
On Friday evening Mirror Sport exclusively broke the news that Mourinho had completely lost the board’s backing and that not even a victory over Newcastle would change their minds.
Of course, none of this was mentioned in the matchday programme for Saturday’s clash.
The United boss instead chose to focus on his side’s upcoming games against Chelsea and Juventus .

Mourinho wrote: "Good afternoon and welcome back to Old Trafford.
"Today, as we welcome Rafa Benitez, the Newcastle United players and their supporters to Old Trafford, our attention is back on the Premier League and making sure that we sign off for the upcoming international break with a positive result.
"After today’s game we have two weeks, then we go straight into games against Chelsea, in the Premier League, and Juventus, in the Champions League, with two recovery days in between.
"For the moment, we have the most points of any English team in the Champions League, and it is a big responsibility for us to maintain that in our next group match against the super team, Juventus.
"With such huge games coming up later in the month, it would obviously be good for our confidence to end this current run of fixtures with an important victory this afternoon at home. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the game."
