I agree, Woodward will want to let LVG go with dignity, he deserves that anyway for a long and illustrious career. If it's Mourinho, the spin will be that United needed to plan for the next few years and Mourinho being their preferred follow-on will not be available after the summer, so by mutual agreement LVG will step down a year early.
I don't think being in or out of the CL and winning the cup or not would have any affect on that (if they actually want Mourinho). It would be the decent thing to do, and whatever we think of his performance, he's been damned unlucky with injuries, that has to be said.
