The sight of Jose Mourinho snapping at Manchester United’s press officer on the way to meeting the written media following the 3-1 defeat at Watford exposed the obvious tension he is already feeling just a few months into his reign at Old Trafford.

But Mourinho is refusing to get carried away by the highs and lows of United’s season and says the only way his team will improve is through hard work on the training ground.
The 18-year-old was patient and scored a last-gasp victor at Hull before earning his first league start at Watford.
A miserable afternoon at Vicarage Road also means that Jose Mourinho’s side are a point behind their other great rivals, Liverpool.
He said, per ESPN: “It’s a little crisis, you could say, because Manchester United cannot lose three games”.
“I think Manchester United showed the world this summer that they were not going to stand still, they want to be the best”.
The England worldwide has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame at United since making his first-team breakthrough in February with two goals on his debut against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League, before following that up with two goals on his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He was also upset with the referee’s decision to not penalise Miguel Britos’ when the Watford defender made a tough challenge against Anthony Martial before Etienne Capoue scored the opening goal for the hosts.
“I’m very happy for the fans, they told me it was 30 years since Watford beat United, so this win gives us a lot of satisfaction”.
“So we were punished by these mistakes and I can’t do anything about it”.
He continued, “But the first Man City goal and this second goal, you can find incredible similarity”.
“I’m pleased for my players”. The first factor depends on ourselves, it relates to our individual mistakes and collective mistakes as individual players and as a team.
‘We don’t need to look at the name on the shirts against Manchester United or Chelsea or Arsenal, we just try and do our best, ‘ Zuniga said.
Asked if Mourinho spoke and shook hands after his pivotal appearance, Zuniga said: “Yes”.

“I can split these defeats into three factors – one, the referee’s crucial mistakes are not in my control, there is nothing I can do about that”.
