Jose Mourinho: Man Utd boss oversaw their Tottenham mauling last night (Image: GETTY)
Mourinho’s job at Manchester United has come under scrutiny with last night’s defeat to Tottenham coming just eight days after they were blitzed by Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
The Red Devils are already six points behind Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table and face a fight to turn things around.
Woodward has been tipped to axe Mourinho with Manchester United failing to resemble the swashbuckling outfit of Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign.
But the Daily Mail say he will not be going anywhere after positive talks between both men.
Woodward walked into the United dressing room to demand answers last night and held a 'lengthier than normal' meeting.
Yet he and Mourinho reportedly ended up having a longer than usual talk about how the club can move forward.
The United heavyweights were impressed by their first half showing against Spurs. Though they failed to score, it was a display that oozed creativity and attacking intent.
The Daily Mail say the talk was ’positive’ with Mourinho’s job currently safe.
And United hope that last night’s first-half display against Tottenham can act as a catalyst for things to come.

Mourinho came out fighting after the match and appears set to stay at United until a top-four finish is mathematically impossible.
However, BeIn Sports pundit Richard Keys has sensationally claimed contact with Roberto Martinez, the Belgium boss, has been initiated.
He said: “Woodward will already have spoken to the representatives of possible replacements - and although Andy Gray left me speechless when he threw Roberto Martinez’s name in the ring - a conversation off-air left me convinced that ‘lines of communication’ have been opened.

Ed Woodward appears to be told to 'sack' Jose Mourinho
“I understand why some believe Martinez should get a mention - but I don’t believe he would satisfy United punters.
“No, it’s got to be Zidane - a proven ‘big-club’ operator and a three time winning coach of the CL - yes - three times Jose. Three. Respect. Respect. Respect.”
Mourinho will be aiming to steer United back to winning ways when they travel to Burnley on Sunday (4pm).
The Red Devils boss will be seeking a repeat of last season, where Anthony Martial struck the winner in a 1-0 victory.
