Manchester United lost their third consecutive game under the leadership of Jose Mourinho in a week with a 3-1 loss to Watford in the English Premiership League match.

Agent Mino Raiola brokered each of those deals and told The Daily Mail: “I think Manchester United showed the world this summer that they were not going to stand still, they want to be the best”.
The Liverpool account responded to a post by a United blogging site thanking the Anfield club for beating Chelsea in their “battle for sixth” on Friday by succinctly advising them to “Delete” after Watford defeated United 3-1.
At the back also, United failed to cope with Watford’s energetic pressing and the crosses from wing-backs Janmaat and Jose Holebas.
Specifically, he is concerned about the fragile way his players respond to adversity and the defence’s habit of making careless mistakes when they don’t adhere to his instructions.
“But was I thinking that my team was ready, perfect, unbeatable?”
“The second factor is the referee and I can’t control their mistakes”. “My only doubt was about the way they can cope with the negative moments that come sooner or later”, he said, adding: “I feel that some individuals probably feel that pressure and responsibility too much”. No matter how hard United work to ideal it, Pogba’s partnership with the ponderous Fellaini feels nothing better than temporary – and that is the impression given by much of what happens ahead of them, too. I can do nothing to improve it. I knew I had a task. “This is not just a tactical but also a mental attitude”.
However in the second-half substitute Juan Zuniga scored with his first touch and in the final seconds of the game captain Troy Deeney converted a penalty to secure the win.
“And what happened was the guy gets the ball 20-25 metres away from our box and instead of being pressed, we give him the space to progress”.
Roberto Pereyra was unchecked when he raced onto Nordin Amrabat’s pass into the United penalty area and he cut the ball back to Colombia defender Zuniga, who lashed a fine strike past de Gea to leave Mourinho ashen-faced. “We spoke before the game – even one day next week we can go out for dinner”. It’s something that doesn’t become flawless in a couple of weeks.
“Collectively and individually, we need to get better”.
“I think that at 1-1, everyone thinks we’ll win the game”, Mourinho said. “And that’s my job because lady luck you don’t control and referees mistakes you don’t control”.

Victory was sweet for Watford manager Walter Mazzarri, who often clashed with Mourinho in Italy.
