Jose Mourinho takes a dig at Bayern Munich

“I am different in everything”.

Mourinho said, reported in the Metro: ‘Yesterday, one manager [Klopp] was told by the fourth official, “I love your emotion and because I love your emotion, no problem”.

Bayern have made a habit of signing players from their chief title competitors Borussia Dortmund in recent seasons, a concept that may not be too foreign to longtime United fans.

Eric Bailly is back in contention but I’m not convinced Mourinho will throw the Ivorian straight back in to action so I think Chris Smalling may come in to join Marcos Rojo in the middle of defence.

He then went on to comment on Hull’s performance and implied that they played the referee into their favour. “So don’t ask me questions that put me in a hard situation”.

“If you go game after game with Manchester United and you see what happened here, with Manchester City, what happened here with Burnley, what happened here with West Ham, what happened at Stoke, what happened nearly everywhere, you do your job and you do a public service”.

“It’s a bad point for us”.

Two players are out of this clash, centre back Phil Jones is suffering from a harmstring injury against Hull City in midweek and forward James Wilson – who’s back from his loan spell due to severe knee injury.

“I don’t believe that they don’t believe in me”. They tried to see what they were allowed to do.

“Until the summer I have nothing to tell you, I will work with my players and I know them better now than I did about seven months ago. Every point for them is gold”.

However, United could only continue that trend in a surprisingly limp display against Eldin Jakupovic-inspired Hull, whose improvements under recently-appointed manager Marco Silva were clear in this 0-0 draw.

He has indicated that this could be the Englishman’s final season with Manchester United. “So then it is more hard to have a very good market”. We played as a team and when we needed to suffer, we were ready to suffer.

Marcus Rashford was decent at this position against Hull City, but I do not think he was good enough to keep his spot in the starting lineup.

More penalty appeals against Hull followed as the United boss paced the technical area – and his anger almost grew as Markovic sent a strike off the post. We didn’t create as many chances as we would have liked.

“It is a very hard match for us and I think also a very hard match for them, but total respect for what they did and total respect for the change of life they have experienced”.
