Man United Fans beg Sir Alex Ferguson to come back ( Tweets)

The Red Devils suffered another crushing defeat at the hands of Fenerbahce under the Portuguese, leading to several supporters calling for him to be removed from the helm.

Twitter exploded on Thursday as Manchester United suffered another blow under Jose Mourinho's stewardship.

The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Fenerbahce in the Europa League, leaving their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages hanging in the balance.

And following what was United's fifth defeat in all competitions this season, several supporters took to social media to call for the sacking of Mourinho - and the return of Sir Alex Ferguson, who left the club in 2013.

Will their pleas fall on deaf ears or could Mourinho be facing a boardroom backlash and unlikely managerial comeback?
