J. Mourinho: "Our goal is to return to the fight for the top four"

"Manchester United" head coach Jose Mourinho before the upcoming match against "Bournemouth" said that the team is in decent sporting form and hopes to return to the top four by the end of November.

"The Red Devils" had a very difficult start to the season - there were problems both on and off the field. Currently, "Man Utd" occupies the eighth position, but the gap from London's fourth-placed "Arsenal" is only 5 points.

"At the moment, we need to focus on our game and achieve better results. However, I don't think that going to 'Stamford Bridge' we can show a better game than we did. We already had three points in our pocket, but they were taken away from us in the last minute," said the Portuguese.

"The schedule that we had to accept so far was definitely not pleasant for us. However, I believe that by the end of November we will not be in the position we are in now.

"When you are outside the top four, talking about the title race is not worth it, but when you are in it, which, in my opinion, we will be, then you can start thinking about something,” continued the strategist.

Commenting on the situation with injured players, J. Mourinho could not deliver much good news: "Fellaini and Dalot are still out of the lineup. Valencia is one step away from being able to play. Lingard and Alexis should be ready for the next matches."
