Burnley earn draw at Manchester United as Jose Mourinho is sent off

And the FA is awaiting the referee’s report after Mark Clattenburg apparently sent the Portuguese to the stands at half-time of the goalless draw against the Clarets at Old Trafford.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has rubbished rumours claiming Wayne Rooney’s days at the Old Trafford are numbered. “We should be anxious if we don’t create any chances but in this case, we created plenty and I believe best results will come”.

The Manchester United manager issued a public apology to the club’s supporters after an embarrassing 4-0 defeat at Chelsea last Sunday, which left his team seventh in the Premier League. Jose is not here to say it but we are very happy with the players’ performance. If we don’t create then we should be more anxious. We tried and we are not happy.

“Sometimes I think when they look into the stands and they see their manager not being stable and solid as he wasn’t when he was at Chelsea; and that’s the only reason he lost his job, he imploded at Chelsea”.

“He’s a good goalkeeper today but in spite of that we should have scored a goal, I think”.

“Obviously we’ll keep that between us two. Of course we believe in him and of course we believe that sooner or later there will be no problem”.

“It is hard to believe”, Blind told MUTV.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic got away United’s first shot after 24 seconds, with Paul Pogba and Juan Mata following up during a promising opening. We showed that. We controlled the game, we were dominant. Even with 10 men we controlled the game.

Manchester United now sit eighth in the Premier League table, eight points behind current leaders Manchester City. Some players, their profile is adapted to come and play, some others they need more time to feel the intensity and the aggression, the game without the ball, the competitiveness. Not to score a goal was unbelievable. After scoring four times in his first three games with United, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has just one goal in all competitions since, which came against FC Zorya Luhansk in the the Europa League on September 29.

“Apart from that, every player wants to play and I don’t know players that are happy when they don’t play”.
