MOURINHO CRIES FOUL: Manchester United boss concerned by fixture pile up

Cricket

By Agencies | Feb 24, 2017

As Manchester United continue to battle on four fronts, wracking up too many air miles is proving a concern to manager Jose Mourinho.

The Man Uinited boss hit out at the decision to stage Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea on a Monday night next month just three days before they play in the Europa League.

He, however, insisted that he will not disrespect the competition by fielding a weakened team, as Manchester City did when they were thrashed in the FA Cup at Chelsea last season.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the only goal of the game away to Saint Etienne on Wednesday after just 16 minutes, effectively killing off any suspense in the Europa League last 32 tie that the Red Devils won 4-0 on aggregate.
