Watford have lost their last six matches against the Man United and Walter Mazzarri’s side have also conceded 16 goals in the last 6 meetings with the Red Devils. “It is a new event, it is another match, it starts at minute zero and so I think it has nothing to do with the two previous matches”, Mourinho said.
“It should belong to them and that is what I expect from them – it is that on Sunday we will try to win the match, normal”.
However, a loss to bitter rival Manchester City in the league last weekend, followed by a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday, is a reminder of the task facing Mourinho in restoring United’s fortunes after the gloom of the David Moyes and Louis van Gaal eras.
“I think in that first half they won pretty much every second ball and they had aggression and determination far better than ours”.
“We need to start the game sharp”, Shaw was quoted as saying by MUTV.
“It was frustrating to watch [against Feyenoord]”. We created a couple of chances, not many, but the ones we had were quite clear.
We don’t have time to dwell on the defeat and we have a few days to recover now.
“I think there are clubs that paid 20, 30, 40 (million pounds), which is a bigger deal than what Man United paid for Paul because you make a relation between what you pay and the club revenue”.
