Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has joked that he could become a 'secret agent' at Manchester United following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese was given his marching orders at Old Trafford on Tuesday morning following a two-and-a-half year spell at Leeds' bitter rivals, with their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at the weekend acting as the final straw.

The Red Devils currently sit nearer the relegation zone than the top of the table and Leeds fans have piled in on their fiercest rivals, as they revel in seeing them struggle.

And it's not only the Leeds fans who are enjoying themselves on social media today .

Former Whites stopper Robinson chipped in with a tweet to tell crisis-hit Man United that 'I've done my badge lads' with a couple of laughing emojis included.

When a Leeds fan replied 'Don't even think about it robbo', the ex-England No.1 offered up the idea that he could sabotage the Red Devils from behind the scenes.

"Haha could be a secret agent," he tweeted back.

Robinson hung up his gloves in 2017, after a stint at Burnley and now undertakes media work, as well as having done his coaching badges/

Meanwhile, Marcelo Bielsa has been named as a 50-1 outsider to replace Mourinho by the bookmakers, so Leeds fans should not need to worry too much about the Argentine jumping ship.
