For quite some time, people have expected that Alex Ferguson's new autobiography could be a spanner in the works for David Moyes and Wayne Rooney.
The book which is officially launched today is likely to detail whether Rooney really handed in a transfer request, something the England striker has denied.
It comes at a bad time for United who are struggling in the league and also have a Champions League tie to think about in the very immediate future.
Pat Nevin was on Off The Ball for his regular slot on Monday Night Football. However, unlike the vast proportion of pundits, he does not think the book will drive a wedge between Wayne Rooney and Man United.
"I think [books have had a destabilizing impact] in the past and I think David Moyes was disappointed about that because it had a negative effect. But I don't know if that is going to have an effect anymore because Moyes is in total control, no matter what anyone else says," said Nevin.
"If Wayne Rooney has a problem he has to go to see the manager. The manager just has to shrug his shoulders and say 'that wasn't me. I've stuck by you and played you in the position you want to play in.' You can tell how Rooney feels by how he's playing and now he's playing something approaching his best football."
Nevin also feels that the Reds are not as far away performance-wise as many people think.
"I think you have to go a long way to get better than [the partnership between] Rooney and Robin Van Persie. While they get better working with each other, you can add Adnan Januzaj to the picture because he has got that level of intelligence that those two have got. So in the end they're not that far away going forward. I think everyone knows the problems. The defence has not been as good as it has been in the past. But they're not losing a mass of goals. They're losing important goals at the wrong time," said Nevin.
Mourinho: Tactical genius
Nevin also talked about the "tactical genius" that is Jose Mourinho, specifically citing quick changes he made in the 4 - 1 win against Cardiff City.
"Mourinho was genius level - one of the five best managerial minutes I've seen. Cardiff manager Malky Mackay changed the system and went three up top to have a go at Chelsea at 1 - 1. In that situation, most managers play four at the back and bring one guy back to give protection. Not Mourinho!
"He took off his left back and went three at the back. They went man on man and he brought in a cente-forward. Two minutes later, Chelsea score a goal. A minute after that, they take that scorer off and go back to four at the back again. That game was won and lost in four minutes. It was genius and all planned."
Last but not least, Nevin also explained why Arsene Wenger's pursuit of intelligent players means the likes of Mesut Ozil can lead the line for the Gunners without affecting the team.
