Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United reign is quickly unravelling, with his new team condemned to a third successive loss by Watford on Sunday.
Here we go again. Try to stop with the defensive mistakes.
It was the first time United had lost three in a row since the unlamented Louis van Gaal presided over four successive defeats in December previous year.
United won the Community Shield and their opening three league games under the former Real Madrid manager, who replaced Louis van Gaal in the summer.
The slide began with a 1-2 derby defeat against cross-town rivals Manchester City, which was followed by a 0-1 loss against Dutch side Feyenoord in the Europa League.
Mourinho’s side were rocked by Etienne Capoue’s first half opener and, although Marcus Rashford equalised after the break, United capitulated in the closing stages.
But United sat back, allowing substitute Camilo Zuniga to steal in for the winning goal, 53 seconds after the Colombian came on as a substitute.
As highlighted by the Mirror, after five Premier League matches, United sit bottom of the table when it comes to distance covered by their players this season.
Mourinho believes his team have fallen victim to a number of unfair refereeing decisions and felt they were harshly treated against Watford.
“Then the referee and the linesman’s mistake is not under my control”. “That is not under my control”.
“At the moment heads are down but, as I said, we must stand together and fight and show that we are confident”. Their second goal was a mistake, that goes against our plan and our training. I’m sure the stadium will be packed and they will try to make things hard for us.
“We can say it’s a little crisis, because a club like Manchester United cannot lose three games”, the Belgian told SFR Sport. Lady luck you don’t control and referees mistakes you don’t control’. “I’m always concerned when we don’t get the result we want”.

Mourinho didn’t specifically name any players but captain Wayne Rooney and midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who gave away the late penalty, both came in for plenty of criticism from the club’s fans.
