In a pre-match interview before the club's Premier League fixture with West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Saturday, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho hascome out all guns blazing over his side's congested fixture list.
The'Special One' has been bemoaning the amount of travellinghis team have had to do in such a short space of time, and in all fairness, he does appear to have a point.
The Red Devils' 1-1 draw with Everton at GoodisonPark in the league was just three days after arriving back from Ukraine from their Europa League tie with Zorya, and their game against the Baggies on Saturdayis just three days after their league win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
But, rather than just leaving his moaning there like any normal manager would do, he then pulls out an extra little dig at the Premier League, and maybe even the FA, by suggesting that the Reds receive preferential treatment in their fixture list.
Mourinho's comments are made after coach Jurgen Klopp's side have had a longer break, with their next league match coming on Monday Night Football against Merseyside rivals Everton, despite the fact that the club are not playing in Europe this season.
It's very unlikely that Klopp's team are receiving that extra little bit of help, and is perhaps just a coincidence - something that Mourinho doesn't appear to consider - and looks as though the Portuguese coach already has his excuse ready should his side fail to deliver on Saturday.
