Roy Keane: Man United boss Jose Mourinho is talking utter nonsense

The Red Devils drew 1-1 in Russian Federation last week during their away leg, but they did put an away goal on the board, and that is certainly an advantage towards advancing to the round of eight.

“In a very similar pitch in the summer in China, we and Manchester City decided not to play”.

However, with the aggregate being level at 1-1, Henrikh Mkhitaryan kickstarted an attack in the 70th minute which led to a wonderfully worked Mata goal. What matches? Man United reserves would have won that game’.

The draw for the last eight will take place on Friday.

There has yet to be an update on the severity of his injury, but it could be argued Pogba would benefit from a couple of games out of the team.

United also suffered two injuries, losing Paul Pogba early on with what seemed to be a hamstring pull, and Daley Blind in the second half after a knock to the face.

Mourinho has picked Pogba for virtually every United game this season, but said it was because he refuses to “sacrifice” any of the competitions his team have competed in.

“And the teams that are playing against Middlesbrough for the relegation battle”.

Wilkins, formerly a Chelsea player and assistant manager, as well as a United player, felt Mourinho was unfairly treated by the home fans.

After Man Utd crawled over the line against Rostov in the Europa League on Thursday night – Marcos Rojo might not have even got there without some sustenance – Jose Mourinho complained to the media about a “lack of respect for the club”. I can understand if you don’t have any help in relation to the Premier League, but I don’t understand not having any help in relation to European football.

Speaking on ITV, Keane said: “I’ve never heard so much rubbish in my life”. “It is bad for us for many reasons”.

Jose Mourinho has called on the Premier League to change domestic fixture schedules for clubs involved in European competition. They don’t know what fatigue is, they don’t know what accumulation is, they don’t know what it is to go home tonight and don’t speak because of fatigue.

“Tomorrow we believe we can cope with the situation and reach the quarter-final”.

United takes on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday before the global break. “That is what we have to do”.
