Mourinho has now suffered three defeats in the space of a week, to Manchester City in the derby on Saturday 10, to Feyenoord in midweek in the UEFA Europa League, followed by the worst of them all, to Walter Mazzarri’s side. “The last two games we’ve played, we haven’t made the best of starts especially in the first half, and we need to change that”, Shaw told United’s official website.

He said: “Yes, I always expect maximum ambition and maximum focus it doesn’t matter the competition or the opponent”. I know that the situation is not click your fingers and everybody is ideal.
“We’ve got to show a lot of character because it’s unacceptable to go and lose three games in a row”.
But the Portuguese gave a bullish answer, saying: “When you lose matches there are no miracles in terms of the players’ souls”.
“You win matches, people are happy and full of confidence”.
“But I think we are experienced players and the players are very good guys and I know they want to win and work, so that’s what we have to do”. Manchester played better, had a couple of good chances, but result remained the same. “Double unlucky because he [Jorgensen] was offside”.
“It was hard to predict which 11 Manchester United and [Jose] Mourinho would use for this game”.
“Both games are gone now and we need to look forward”.
In a bid to shake things up, Mourinho made eight changes to the team that had started on the weekend.
“I’ve not seen it myself but it’s unfortunate if that is the case”, he said when MUTV mentioned the missed offside call.
Former Caltex Socceroos goalkeeper Brad Jones kept a clean sheet for Dutch club Feyenoord as they stunned Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League on Friday morning (AEST).
“The second half was when they increased intensity and that was when they conceded the goal”. The players at this age with great life, the money they have to do what they want, I think they shouldn’t need an extra source of motivation.

“Some players are playing their first minutes of the season, there have not been many minutes for them”.
