“I feel sorry for Manchester United” – Jose Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he’s been ‘feeling sorry’ for Manchester United this season as they dropped more points at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United have lost four times at home in the Premier League, have been knocked out of the Capital One by Sunderland and the FA Cup by Swansea City. They are also 9 points adrift of the Champions League places having dropped more points at home with a 2-2 draw with Fulham on Sunday.

United hired David Moyes last summer upon Sir Alex Ferguson’s advice, despite Jose Mourinho’s apparent interest in the job. Moyes has struggled this season and labelled the draw with Fulham as a ‘new low’.

Mourinho still thinks United can reach the top four and said: “I feel sorry for them. I never enjoy when somebody is having some problems like they have.

“But United is United and David is experienced enough. He is the right man for the job.

“They can (reach the top four). It’s not easy, they know that. They know that they are on the limit for the top four and they know teams like us, Arsenal, Liverpool are doing okay.”

Manchester United have dropped 18 points at Old Trafford this season, twice as many as last season.
