Jurgen Klopp: ‘Not only myself and Mourinho’ who struggle to control emotions
Midfielder Herrera believes that the Red Devils can catch the teams above them, but first place is out of reach.
Jose Mourinho gestures towards a linesman during last night’s draw at home to Hull City.
The fans who stayed behind were a tiny minority.
Mourinho used this example when explaining that he was warned about being sent to the stands if he aired his frustration on the touchline during United’s game against Hull.
“They don’t like my emotion, but what is happening this season is not for me to think about it”.
United were also reeling after failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the second time in three years. It’s been that kind of season – a surge then a stall. “He will have no problem with me if I have to play wherever in the team”.
The striker had chances against the Tigers on Wednesday but squandered them, and had a generally poor performance on an individual level.
The current run of fixtures is favourable, yet United again failed to capitalise when they really should have done better. “It gives confidence for our team and our players, but it is only one point”.
However, their third consecutive league draw has left them four points adrift of City and Liverpool in their quest for a top-four spot. I play for the best.
2016/17 has been a bit of a topsy-turvy season for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Manchester United.
Juan Mata was the next to try his luck, after making a space for a shot with a bit of skill, but was also thwarted by Jakupovic.
Manchester United struggled to break down a resilient Hull City side at Old Trafford and Ibrahimovic was less than impress with some if his side’s finishing, and was particularly critical of Mata.
The 54-year-old has been criticised for the way he has set his side up this season, while United now sit sixth in the Premier League and 14 points behind leaders Chelsea. It’s not what we want to do nor is it a tactic. Wenger’s ban was two games fewer than the one handed to Mourinho’s assistant Rui Faria in 2014 for using insulting and/or abusive words towards the fourth official and improper conduct. “Sergio knows how to play in every moment”.
Antoine Griezmann is the club’s No. 1 target this summer.
