Mourinho last lost three successive matches in the same season when he was in charge of Porto in 2001-02 and the game at Northampton comes after newspaper reports of dissatisfaction with his management style among the United first team.

But, with Jose Mourinho’s appointment in May, the veteran midfielder got assurances of featuring in the upcoming campaign, and this urged him to pen one-year extension at Old Trafford.

“It’s been a long time coming since the draw was made”, Page said. There’s no time for mourning. United are down, but are they out? The most impressive thing though was that until the weekend just gone when they lost 3-1 to Chesterfield F.C, they were on a 31-game unbeaten league run stretching back to December previous year. Will United beat Northampton Town to earn a place in the fourth round of the EFL Cup?

“I’m sure the stadium will be packed and they will try to make things hard for us”.
