Press Conference

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was asked about his side's character, disappointing stats and commitment as they head into their clash with Fulham at home on Saturday.

"Yes. Yes, even the numbers, the stats that for me are not fundamental but sometimes they give us, they support our feelings, our ideas, or sometimes a contradiction to it but is just a confirmation with the numbers was the match where my team the globailty of my players run more and run more with higher intensity too, " he said.

"We press the ball more, put diffs to the oppo, we were fast in our transitions, so we had that spirit, we had that mentality that brought our game to a good level, to a better level.

"There are special players with special characteristics and just to give you a some examples, Herrera, Matic, Rashford and Fellaini are the kind of players that even if their game is not phenomenal, that intensity, desire, sacrifice is always present but I prefer to say the team as a team had that mentality.

Mourinho on Fulham:

"I know only two days is not easy Fulham in the same situation as us but probably the way they are coming to play or try to play will not demand as much from them as us but no excuses, I sat here a few weeks ago speaking about December month and no defeats that's a reality, good fights, good spirit, but just one victory against Young Boys and three draws and we need points, but Fulham is the same, they need points.
