United lost at home to City in the Manchester derby last Saturday and subsequently left the Netherlands empty-handed following a 0-1 defeat to Feyenoord Rotterdam in the Europa League group stage contest on Thursday.

Tonny Vilhena’s late strike had those inside De Kuip bouncing and gave Kuyt another memory to cherish against United. At the end of the day, you are Manchester United and you are coming to Watford. “They want to win, they want to work and that is what we have to do”.
“We fought in the contest”.
“I thought Fellaini was all right, he does a job which stops the other team. This is a wonderful start to the tournament”. That’s helped because when I am asked to play in those positions, it is natural.
“If he reverts to 4-3-3 there will be ramifications for other players, notably Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Wayne Rooney, who is now playing as No.10”, he said.
Manchester United is looking to rebound from two consecutive losses, and a game against Watford could provide the flawless tonic. We need to focus on ourselves and how we start.
United uploaded a picture of Mourinho along with a quote from the Portuguese tactician, “We are experienced people and the players are very good guys”.
“We don’t have time to dwell and we have a few days to recover”.
But with United still owing him an estimated £7m in wages and Schweinsteiger facing two years on the sidelines, a compromise settlement package would look to be in the interest of both parties.
In particular, Mourinho has to try and get the best out of £89m record signing Paul Pogba while the presence of captain Wayne Rooney as a No 10 is restricting the impact of £28m summer signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marcus Rashford.
Rashford added: ‘I don’t think confidence has been knocked.
Scholes, who played alongside Carrick for the best part of seven years, reckons the 35-year-old is the ideal foil for Paul Pogba, who was ineffectual again at Vicarage Road.
