Last night, Old Trafford was a witness to a 1-0 loss for the home side.
Man United although weary, did not make any change in the playing XI throughout the game.
When asked to Mou the reason for not shuffling his line-up, he justified saying,”Bear in mind Sanchez was in the stand,”said the manager.
“Lingard was in the stand. Fellaini may have been in the stand or at home as I didn’t see him. ”
”The only really attacking option was a young 18-year-old lad who has never played in the first team before. Given the dynamic of the game, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring him on.
“You can’t expect a kid making his debut in a game like this to give you something like scoring a goal. So that’s why I didn’t make any changes on the pitch.”
“I really missed Fellaini because when we are dominant, we are playing in the opponents’ half and the opponent closes the way they did, and they brought Barzagli as a third centre-back, Fellaini is a player that gives us different things.“
“The injuries we have are always with the national team,”Jose complained. “It’s an injury for Alexis. Fellaini, Sergio Romero and Jesse Lingard – all with the national team”
