Jose Mourinho has refused to give up on the title race, despite Manchester City’s 11 point lead at the top of the Premier League table.Manchester United claimed a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday night, but saw Pep Guardiola’s men make it 15 straight victories with a 4-0 thumping of Swansea.

United were comfortably beaten in the derby at the weekend but Mourinho is determined to close the gap.
And the Portuguese says that he hasn’t given up hope that - by hook or by crook - United can overhaul their rivals.
When asked about the title race, he told BBC Sport:

"We play match after match and the next we have to try to win. We have a difficult one at West Brom and we try match after match."It is only over in May. If it is over now I go on holiday to Brazil or Los Angeles.”

Romelu Lukaku scored the only goal against Eddie Howe's side, but United failed to impress.
It was Lukaku’s first goal in five games, and Mourinho was pleased with claiming three points.
"I am pleased with the three points, it was difficult match," Mourinho continued.

"They had one more day's rest than us, they were fresher than us, and mentally fresher because a big match takes more from our players."We had chances, [Anthony] Martial missed a good chance, [Marcus] Rashford could have had an astonishing effort, and in the last 15 they pushed us."
