Zlatan Ibrahimovic Urges His Manchester United Teammates To ‘Fight Harder’

Fellaini replaced Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the 85th minute at Everton with United in front through Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s first-half goal. Eager to impress and prove his fitness to Mourinho and Manchester United, Schweinsteiger has been hailed by his teammates as a huge role model, excellent player and fantastic personality in the dressing room.

“First of all we need to improve and that was much better today than last week”.

“Even when we are in the lead at 2-0 it’s how we try to play football then we were static”.

“We are playing extremely well, even in hard matches like this, and not getting the results we deserve”. “If you came up against him, he was likely to stand on your toes or give you a dead leg”. “So they would always have a little bit of pressure but that’s normal”, he said.

“They are playing each game better and I believe that they will be competing for silverware at the end of the season”, he added.

“You had [Marcos] Rojo playing the last day…”

“What do you mean by that”, Mourinho fired back to the question.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool missed out on a chance to go second in the Premier League and instead remain four points behind leaders Chelsea after their incredible meltdown at Dean Court. They deserved by far to win the games but football is like this.

“There’s no doubt Manchester United will have Spurs in their eyes in terms of the team that they probably have to catch”, he told Sky Sports.

Jose Mourinho speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Everton game on Sunday claimed he would never push out a player who is determined and willing to fight for a place in his set up. Getting draws but deserving victories so our opponents are leaving the stadium super happy with draws they don’t deserve. We are not getting the results we deserve. You have in this moment teams in the Premier League teams playing defensive and counter-attack football but getting results. That is phenomenal in your words.

It has been reported by the Sunday Times that Mourinho’s advisers have hidden more than £10 million but speaking after the Premier League draw with Everton on Sunday, the United coach said there has been no wrongdoing on his part. So that’s where we are.

“It is a problem that our position in the table is not a reflection of our performances”, he said.

To make matters worse for Jose Mourinho, it was his substitute, Maraoune Fellaini, who was directly responsible for Everton’s equalizer.

“There’s no point being fearless and not being fit to play to your full potential, especially against a team like that, because you could be at fault for a goal”. It’s phenomenal, it’s attractive. “People have to make a decision”.

“We opened the door and they ran through and scored some wonderful goals”.

Asked about his decision, United manager Mourinho said the reason for introducing Fellaini was “obvious” due to his height and Everton’s approach.
