The problem between Mourinho and the board is that he picked players, they bought them, the players didnt work out and now he wants new ones. Whats to stop the new ones from also not working out?
The Era of just randomly buying players and hoping they work out is rapidly ending, which makes Mourinho a Dinosaur. He thinks he can just keep buying and buying until it works out.
Thats why they're not backing him much anymore. Because his decision making and evaluations are seriously flawed.

Yup,
These are his major purchases as Manager of Man U (>10M €)
Pogba - 105€
Lukaku - 85€
Fred - 59€
Matic - 45€
Mkhitarian - 42€ (Swapped for Sanchez)
Bailly - 38€
Lindelof - 35€
Dalot - 22€
So he's spent 431€ in his 3 summer transfer windows as manager, and really the players he's brought in all underachieved with him as manager.
Compare that to Pep in the same time period (559 €) :
Mahrez - 68 €
Laporte - 65 €
Mendy - 57 €
Stones - 56 €
Walker - 53 €
Sane - 51 €
Silva - 50 €
Ederson - 40 €
Jesus - 32 €
Danilo - 30 €
Gundogan - 27 €
Nolito - 18 €
Luiz - 12 €
Even considering that Pep spent about 130 € more than Mourinho has, he's made that go a lot further to help strengthen that squad.
Klopp is a similar story with how he spent his 412€
Van Dijk - 79€
Alisson - 63€
Keita - 60€
Fabinho - 45€
Salah - 42 €
Mane - 42€
Oxlade Chamberlain - 38€
Wijnaldum - 28€
Shaqiri - 15€
Similar transfer windows, similar total spend, but Klopp and Pep have done a much better job of building a team. Don't blame the board for not giving Jose more money to spend at all - he just hasn't purchased very wisely at Manchester . Even the good players he has bought (Pogba, Lukaku) either look much better internationally, or for their old teams, than they do for him.
