United fans want a team challenging for the league title, they don't want a team finishing in seventh or fifth."When Jose finishes at a club there is a pattern where he falls out with players, gets disgruntled and the team dips. "I can't see him staying for too long at United - maybe two or three years seems to be his shelf life at a club - but as long as he brings success United fans won't be unhappy. "The pressure of football management and demands from owners and supporters and media now means two to three years in a job is enough.” Neville also feels that supporters will expect an instant impact from Mourinho who was sacked by Chelsea in December after a disastrous defence of their title."He is not the type of manager that will come in and say this is a transitional period and finishing fourth in the league will be enough - that won't be enough for the United fans," Neville added."I am a Manchester United fan and next season I want them to be winning the league. That will be the demands put on him and I am sure he will have the same expectation. "I know you have to manage a certain way when you're manager of Manchester United, but if you take away that brashness - and you saw that a little bit towards the end at Chelsea - you lose what Jose Mourinho is about. "He likes to create this siege mentality and that's what Sir Alex [Ferguson] did for 26 years. He told us in every team meeting that the rest of the world doesn't like you, wants you to fail, and that was the basis of our motivation in a lot of our games. "Sir Alex did like to create a cause for the fight, with the media and with other managers. If Mourinho does that at United, the fans will take him to their hearts."</blockquote>
